I feel like I’ve reached a plateau when it comes to SEO and GEO, and honestly could use some advice.

I’m doing all the “right” things. Publishing new content consistently, refreshing older content, investing heavily in technical SEO, improving site health, internal linking, page speed, etc.

But I can’t seem to break through to the next level.

Would genuinely love to hear from people who’ve been through this stage.

What ended up moving the needle for you?
What should I be focusing on that maybe isn’t as obvious?
And with GEO becoming more important, are you changing your strategy at all?

I’ve been thinking about this idea of “agentic pricing” lately and genuinely can’t tell if it’s the natural next step or if people are going to find it weird.

I mean pricing already changes everywhere. Flights, hotels, Amazon, Uber, etc.

But now with AI, it feels like pricing could become way more autonomous. Like systems constantly adjusting based on demand, competition, timing, inventory, customer patterns, and probably a hundred other signals without someone manually changing rules all day.

And honestly… it kind of makes sense?

But I’m curious how people actually feel about it.

Would customers care if prices were being adjusted by AI in real time as long as the pricing still felt fair?

And what happens once buyers also have AI agents helping them shop, negotiate, or find the best deal?

Feels like we’re heading toward AI interacting with AI and humans just setting the goals lol

Curious if people think this becomes normal or if there’s something fundamentally uncomfortable about it.

I keep thinking about this and honestly I’m not sure what matters more.

Do people care more that prices feel consistent and predictable, or do they care more about understanding why prices change?

Like, if a company changes prices often but is upfront about the reason, does that build trust? Or do most people still prefer prices to just stay stable, even if no one explains much?

My gut says both matter, but if you had to choose, which one do you think has a bigger impact on how customers feel?

Curious how people here think about it, especially anyone who’s worked in retail, pricing, or consumer behavior.

I’ve been seeing this idea that when the dollar gets volatile, some brands or importers basically just add a 5-10% cushion into pricing to protect themselves from exchange rate swings.

Like, instead of constantly reacting they just build in a bit of safety margin from the start.

I can see how that would make sense... especially in a more predictable world where supply chains were steadier and prices did not have to move as often.

But I’m wondering how real this is in practice. Is this actually something retailers or brands do? Like, is there really this unwritten “just add 5-10%” approach when setting MSRP or wholesale pricing? Or is that more of an old-school thing that people talk about, but not really how it works anymore?

Curious if anyone here has seen this firsthand, especially in retail, pricing, sourcing, or finance
