Digital Marketing Expert Reveals 15 Proven Strategies as AI Reshapes SEO and Online Advertising in 2026
The marketers who win in 2026 are not the ones who panic about AI eating their traffic — they are the ones who understand that every major shift creates a new window of opportunity. Right now, that window is wide open.” — Tony Hayes, Daily Growth Signals
Tony Hayes, founder of Daily Growth Signals, has released a new edition of his widely-read marketing newsletter exposing the biggest shift in digital marketing in years — the move from traditional SEO to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). The edition covers 15 actionable strategies, including a domain authority hack delivering DR91 overnight, a method to attract competitor YouTube subscribers for pennies, and why smart marketers are moving ad spend from Google to Reddit and Quora.

Pattaya, Thailand – Digital marketing strategist Tony Hayes has published a new edition of his Daily Growth Signals newsletter, delivering 15 documented and immediately actionable marketing strategies at a time when artificial intelligence is fundamentally disrupting how businesses attract customers online.

The edition, titled “While Everyone’s Panicking About AI Search… Smart Marketers Are Doing This,” arrives as Google’s AI Overviews continue to reshape organic search results, pushing traditional SEO strategies toward obsolescence and forcing businesses to rethink how they build online visibility from the ground up.

The Shift From SEO to GEO

Central to this edition is the concept of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — optimizing content not for Google’s blue links, but to be cited directly by AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Hayes breaks down the exact formatting and structural techniques that make content self-contained and easily scraped by AI models, alongside a strategy for getting cited on Wikipedia, which Hayes identifies as the single most trusted source for every major AI platform.

“In 2026, you are not fighting for clicks — you are fighting to be cited by the AI,” said Hayes. “If ChatGPT does not reference your content, you effectively do not exist for a growing segment of your potential customers.”

Key Strategies Covered in This Edition

The edition covers a broad range of immediately applicable tactics for business owners and marketers, including:

  • The DR91 Domain Loophole — A legal but time-sensitive method for acquiring country-style domains that Google currently treats as subdomains of high-authority parent sites, delivering instant domain authority for as little as $20.

  • Competitor YouTube Subscriber Theft — A YouTube ad campaign structure that places your content directly on top of competitor channels, combined with a URL parameter that forces the subscribe prompt the moment a user clicks.

  • The Google Ads Money Drain Fix — A step-by-step walkthrough of the default Google Ads settings that quietly drain budgets, and the exact boxes to uncheck before running any campaign.

  • Shifting Ad Spend to Reddit and Quora — Why leading marketers are moving budget away from increasingly expensive Google keywords and toward discussion-platform targeting that reaches buyers with higher intent.

  • The Perplexity SEO Automation Agent — How to set up an automated research agent that scans Reddit daily for low-competition product gaps and delivers results by email, entirely hands-free.

Full Implementation Package Available

Alongside the newsletter, Hayes has published a comprehensive Google Doc implementation package for every strategy featured in this edition, including 4-paragraph summaries, 25 key takeaways per strategy, and step-by-step execution checklists designed for immediate deployment.

“Reading about tactics is one thing,” said Hayes. “The implementation package is where the money gets made. It bridges the gap between consuming information and actually putting it to work.”
