    Cloudflare says AI agent optimization is becoming a new form of SEO

    Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said the company is already generating revenue from products designed to help AI agents access websites more efficiently. He cited a partnership in which Cloudflare provides OpenAI with page-change signals, reducing unnecessary crawler requests, and described services for attracting or blocking agent traffic as a new version of SEO.

    Why it matters: Marketers may need to think beyond conventional search rankings and consider how agents discover, refresh and use web content. The story offers an early signal about emerging optimisation practices and a possible new infrastructure or commercial layer, while also raising questions about whether access to agent traffic and freshness signals could become paid or platform-mediated.

    Tripadvisor says SEO will remain a growth headwind through 2027

    Tripadvisor’s third-quarter results show the continuing commercial impact of search changes on its legacy brand. Revenue in its Hotels and Other segment fell 23% to $151.6 million, while marketing rose to 48.8% of revenue.

Its strategic relevance is meaningful, but the evidence does not establish a new rule affecting all marketers.
