But if you rebuild your stack around how AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity actually pull information, GSA SER becomes one of the sharpest tools in your SEO arsenal again. Maybe sharper than it has been in years.

Hi, Michael Swart here from Asia Virtual Solutions.
Let me start with something I hear every single week from new customers:
“Michael, is GSA SER dead? ChatGPT is eating Google. AI Overviews are killing my clicks. Should I even bother with automated link building anymore?”
Short answer: No, GSA SER is not dead. Not even close.
Long answer: The tool still works. The way people run it is what’s broken. If you’re still running GSA SER the 2019 way — chasing LPM, hammering comment engines, spinning articles with Kontent Machine — then yes, you’re going to struggle.
But if you rebuild your stack around how AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity actually pull information, GSA SER becomes one of the sharpest tools in your SEO arsenal again. Maybe sharper than it has been in years.

Thanks for the great comment, @Lukegage92. You nailed it.
That point about LLMs pulling citations from backlinks is something a lot of people are still missing. It's not just about Google rankings anymore — it's about being the source that AI systems trust and reference. And guess what builds that trust? Consistent, high-quality backlinks. Same as always.
You're 100% right about the content side, too. With AI-powered content tools available today, there's really no excuse for feeding GSA SER with weak, spun garbage anymore. You can load it up with clean, relevant content that actually adds value to the pages it lands on — and that makes a real difference to link quality and longevity.
And yes, premium engines + fresh, verified link lists = still one of the most cost-effective link-building setups out there in 2026. Hard to beat that combination.
The "is SEO dead" crowd will always exist
— every algorithm update, every new AI tool, they pop up again. But people like you, who are actually in the trenches and testing, know the truth. The tools evolved. The strategy evolved. The opportunity is still very much there.
Appreciate you taking the time to read and comment — means a lot!
These kind of guides should be pinned and you definitely share it BHW as well.
Thanks, @SEOPOWER, I really appreciate the feedback.
That is a good idea about sharing these tutorials on BHW as well. I rarely visit BHW these days, so I am not fully up to date with the best sections or active threads there anymore.
If you know of a suitable BHW thread or section where this type of GSA SER / SEO strategy tutorial would be useful, please let me know. I would be happy to share it there as well, especially if it can help more GSA SER users adjust their strategy for AI Overviews and the current SEO environment.
Thanks again for the suggestion.
