In this #WBF Tom Capper walks through 10 fan-out categories that expand a single search query into a fully formed response that might just feature your brand.
Thinking of adding educational videos to your toolkit?
Sharing your SEO project wins and learnings via video is an excellent way to establish authority within the search industry, but a great presentation requires intentional structure.
In this week's Whiteboard Friday, Jo Cameron, Director of Content at Moz, outlines how to transition a written blog post or conference slide deck into an engaging, visual video. You will learn how to utilize simple charts, graphs, and structured bullet points to keep your delivery on track without relying on a teleprompter.
Here are some top tips to get you started:
✅ Keep the content tight (aim for a succinct delivery, Whiteboard Friday format aims for around 6-7 minutes but could be longer or shorter depending on the topic).
✅ Map out your charts, graphs, or visual icons beforehand to help guide your story.
✅ Wear comfortable clothes that easily accommodate a lapel mic kit.
✅ Speak from experience rather than trying to read a script.

🚀 My @Moz guide based on my recent webinar is now live: “The New Rules of AI Visibility and How To Prepare for It” 👇
One of the biggest risks I’m seeing right now is that many teams are reacting to AI search with extremes: Either treating it as if traditional SEO is dead… or acting like nothing meaningful has changed. Neither is useful.
AI search doesn’t replace SEO. It expands the search journey.
The fundamentals still matter: crawlability, indexability, technical clarity, helpful content, entity consistency, authority, etc.
But the way we prioritize optimization needs, monitor, and measure search visibility needs to evolve, because AI systems don’t only rank pages. They can retrieve, summarize, compare, cite, recommend, and sometimes move users closer to decisions before they ever click.
That means we need to stop looking only at traffic as the main proxy for success and also assess:
✅ Are we being surfaced across the topics and prompts that matter?
✅ Are we cited and linked?
✅ Are we recommended or just mentioned?
✅ Are we accurately represented?
✅ Are we winning comparisons against competitors?
✅ Are the right pages, products, offers, and sources being used?
In the guide, I cover:
⭐️ Why AI search should be treated as an evolution of SEO, not a disconnected discipline
⭐️ The biggest changes affecting AI search optimization, from probabilistic clicks to query fan-out and agentic experiences
⭐️ The 10 brand characteristics I use to assess AI search readiness: Accessible, Useful, Extractable, Recognizable, Consistent, Corroborated, Credible, Differentiated, Fresh, and Transactable
⭐️ How to prioritize depending on the visibility gap: invisible, visible but not recommended, recommended but misrepresented, or visible but not driving measurable value.
⭐️ Why SEO, digital PR, brand, social, community, and reputation management now need to work much more closely together.
My main takeaway: Don’t start by chasing individual prompts or creating more content blindly.
Start by checking whether AI systems can access, understand, extract, validate, and confidently recommend your brand in the first place.
Then connect AI visibility to business impact with clear confidence levels, separating observed data, proxy signals, and modeled estimates.
