CHON BURI, THAILAND - December 18, 2025 - Digital marketing strategist Tony Hayes has released "The 2026 Marketing Playbook," a curated collection of 18 strategies addressing the seismic shifts transforming online discovery and customer acquisition. The comprehensive guide responds to data showing that only 1 in 3 Google searches now result in organic clicks, while AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT process over 1 billion searches weekly.
The playbook delivers actionable intelligence across four critical areas: AI SEO optimization, local and niche domination, breakthrough tools and tactics, and strategic diversification beyond traditional search engines.
Critical Insights for 2026
Hayes' playbook highlights several game-changing developments:
*
AI Overviews Impact: Research shows AI Overviews now appear for 26% of searches and rising. One featured case study demonstrates how a business went from zero AI Overview presence to 90+ keywords in just 4 months, driving a 2,300% increase in AI-driven traffic.
*
"Fan-out Queries": New research from Surfer SEO identifies specific query types that dramatically increase chances of citation in Google's AI Overviews, with optimization strategies following completely different rules than traditional SEO.
*
YouTube's TV Transformation: The platform is quietly optimizing its algorithm for living room viewing, prioritizing longer-form, "bingeable" content as it competes directly with traditional television.
*
The Growing Discovery Pie: While organic Google click-through rates decline, total discovery across ChatGPT, YouTube, Reddit, and other platforms is exploding, requiring businesses to diversify their visibility strategies.
From Theory to Implementation
"Information without action is just entertainment," Hayes emphasizes. "This isn't about consuming content-it's about implementing strategies that work right now while your competitors are still planning."
The playbook includes specific tactical guidance on:
*
Appearing in ChatGPT citations through external validation on third-party sites
*
Optimizing for "Agentic Research" and how AI verifies facts
*
Reverse engineering the 5-step pattern behind apps generating $50K monthly recurring revenue in under 180 days
*
Local SEO mastery with hyper-neighborhood-specific content strategies
*
The "Anti-Clickbait" thumbnail approach now outperforming mystery-style titles
*
Building functional websites and tools in 60 seconds using Gemini 3
