My quick recap of the Mobile World Congress Barcelona: AI, humanoids, electric cars, but also digital sovereignty and unified tech standards.
Not sure if you read my substack from last month about what i learnt running and attending meetups davidiwanow.substack.com/p/what-i-hav...
A while back, I went down a rabbit hole using the AlsoAsked API I was actually building an AI content workflow, but I had a feeling in the back of my head, “What if answering PAA questions drives better results?”

About this, Yordan Dimitrov, SEO Manager at Reflect Digital, says: > "SEO is far from dead; it is, in fact, evolving at a rapid pace. However, our approach to Al search needs to adapt to those changes in both technology and user behaviour shifts which come with it. In the discovery stage, users are now getting answers without having to click through to a website, which makes click-based metrics less reliable. The modern consumer journey is non-linear, meaning that we need to have our brand present across various platforms where our target audience is. Furthermore, we need to ensure that our websites are prepared for agentic browsers, so that we can cater for both humans and Al agents alike, offering a seamless journey and helping aid conversions." Remember that you can easily keep updated with the latest organic traditional and Al search trends: Subscribe to the SEOFOMO newsletter for free.
Yordan Dimitrov It's quite challenging to make predictions for 2026, given the rapid pace at which our industry is evolving, but I'd like to make several projections, based on what happened in 2025:
Thank you @aleyda.bsky.social and @dergal.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to your insights and predictions for 2026. 💙
