No Hacks is the weekly podcast about website optimisation, SEO, and web strategy in the age of AI search. If you work on websites and want to understand how AI agents, LLMs, and AI-powered search are changing everything, this is your show.
Your next million website visitors won't be human. And most websites are completely unprepared. AI agents can't navigate them. LLMs don't cite them. Search engines no longer rank them the same way.
Each week we dig into what's breaking, what's working, and what to do about it, covering AI SEO, AI Overviews, agent experience optimisation (AXO), CRO, structured data, and the future of organic search and discovery.
Built for SEO professionals, web strategists, developers, and CRO specialists who'd rather adapt early than scramble later.
Hosted by Slobodan Manic, consultant and speaker on Agent Experience Optimisation and AI-ready web strategy.
