Head Of WordPress AI Team Explains SEO For AI Agents via @Sejournal, @Martinibuster

James LePage, Director Engineering AI at Automattic, explains that AI agents will tap the same web infrastructure and classic search indexes that power traditional search engines. He argues that AI SEO is fundamentally long‑tail keyword optimization, demanding clear schema, high semantic density, and robust interlinking. Content should be delivered in intentional markdown and semantic markup to make parsing and synthesis easier for agents. Although he foresees a future where content may live outside conventional websites, preserving structured hierarchy remains essential for today’s agent‑centric consumption.
