Why Content Optimization Matters in the Age of AI-Driven Search
You’ve poured hours into writing that blog, crafting the perfect headings, and choosing eye-catching images. But without proper content optimization, your masterpiece might never reach the right audience. In 2025, search engines lean heavily on AI and generative algorithms, and content optimization sits at the heart of high rankings, increased traffic, and better conversions.
- 53% of website visits come from organic search.
- More than 90% of pages get zero organic clicks.
- Pages on the second search page attract less than 6% of clicks.
The good news? You don’t have to DIY every tweak. CMO.SO’s platform harnesses AI, community learning, and automation to guide non-experts through content optimisation step by step.
