How to Stand Out in Search When Everyone's Using AI to Create Content

Can you really stand out online now that anyone can generate content in seconds? In this episode of The Website Success Show, Jules White is joined by Rebecca Mackay Miller of BLOC + ROSE to talk about why your unique perspective and lived experience are the one thing AI can't replicate, and why that's now your real advantage in search. Rebecca helps multi-passionate founders become known for one big, ownable idea that connects everything they do, rather than exhausting themselves marketing several different versions of who they are. Together, she and Jules explore how to get your SEO foundations right first, how to write in plain language that both people and search engines understand, and why a little courage to share what you actually believe is what helps you cut through. What you'll discover in this episode: ✅ Why your lived experience and perspective are the thing AI can't copy ✅ The difference between commodity content (anyone could generate it) and non-commodity content (only you can) ✅ Why becoming known for one ownable idea beats marketing multiple versions of yourself ✅ How to write so clearly that both a 12-year-old and a search bot understand what you do ✅ The "sharp end and soft end of the stick" approach to clear messaging with real depth ✅ A simple noughts-and-crosses exercise to uncover the beliefs that make your thinking your own ✅ Why intuition should sit alongside data, and why being a little contrarian helps you stand out ✅ An honest conversation about women, thought leadership, and finding the courage to speak up Resources mentioned in this episode: 🎧 Listen to Episode 102: Social Media is Optional How to grow a business without constant posting (Jules' most downloaded episode) https://thewebsitesuccesshub.com/soci... 🎧 Episode 128: Is ChatGPT Making You Doubt Yourself?
