We know your focus is providing tools, solutions and services to solve the world’s greatest water challenges.

And today, being easily discoverable online is part of that success. Lately, you might’ve heard buzzwords like “AI summaries” or “Search Generative Experience.” Don’t worry—this isn’t a tech manual. Let’s break down what it means for your brand and your audience.

What’s changing and why it matters

Search engines like Google are evolving into smart assistants. Instead of simply listing links, they now summarize answers right at the top of the page using AI. That’s the ‘Search Generative Experience’ (SGE). For the water sector, where buying decisions are complex and trust matters, this shift creates new opportunities—and some new expectations.

Be a trusted source

Buyers in the water industry are looking for experts. They want to partner with companies who bring deep knowledge, technical understanding and a track record of results. AI-powered search favors trustworthy content—so your website should clearly reflect your expertise. Think about showcasing case studies, highlighting certifications or even sharing insights from your engineering team.

Ask customer questions

Don’t just think about keywords. Think about real questions your clients ask. What are they struggling with? What solutions are they comparing? Build your content around those questions.

pro tip: Great content = great answers. If your site provides clear, helpful responses to common challenges, search engines are more likely to surface your content in AI results.

Use the right tools (or let us help)

Many helpful tools can help uncover the exact questions and phrases your audience is searching for—but it takes time to dig through the data and narrow down a path forward. We can help with research, strategy or execution if you’d rather skip straight to the good part.

Quality over quantity

More pages do not mean more visibility. What matters is value. Focus on content that helps your audience: whitepapers, ROI tools, product demos and expert insights. And if you don’t have a team of content creators, no problem—we’ve got you covered.

Keep it clear

Don’t overcomplicate it. A well-organized site with plain language, clear headers and quick-loading pages works for your visitors *and* for search engines. No need to impress with jargon. Impress with clarity.

Add schema markup (bonus points)

Schema markup is code that helps search engines better understand your content. It doesn’t guarantee rankings, but it *does* improve how your site shows up—with things like star ratings, FAQs or product highlights that grab attention. It’s especially useful for signaling authority and credibility (E-E-A-T), which AI-powered results rely on more than ever.

Bottom line what to focus on

• Show your expertise through real-world examples and outcomes
• Create content that answers your audience’s key questions
• Keep your website fast, easy to use and built for mobile

SEO is changing, but what works hasn’t: Be helpful. Be credible. Be clear.
