Worth your time

There is something real in it. It may still carry a wrong number, and the note says so.

The clip

Everyone's calling this the shift from SEO to GEO. It's bigger than that. Across the 22 companies we track, search leads went from 3.1% to 7.4% in a year. Doubled. If your content answers real questions, you're not behind. You just have to reformat it for where people search now. #SEO #GEO #AISearch #DigitalMarketing #ContentStrategy

The caption, as Neil Patel wrote it on TikTok

It plays from TikTok, not from here. Nothing loads from them until you press the button, so reading this page sends them nothing.

Why it is graded that way

The advice: add a three-question FAQ to your top pages so AI answers cite them. It fits Google’s advice on clear, direct answers, so it is cheap and unlikely to hurt. The number does not prove it. His rise in AI search leads from 3.1% to 7.4% is across 22 companies, not a before and after on the FAQ. He also sends you to AnswerThePublic to find the questions, which he owns, and the clip does not mention that. The FAQ claim is one of the Lab’s running tests.

Checked against the original clip and, where it makes a factual claim, against whatever that claim leans on. If I have this wrong, tell me and I will fix the row and say what changed.
