2025 in Review: Articles by Bharati Ahuja on SEO, AI Search, and the Web

In 2025, I tried to publish well-researched and insight-driven articles that reflect how SEO is evolving in the age of AI. These include 25+ original posts on WebPro.in/blog (focused on AI Search, prompt engineering, indexing, and modern SEO strategy) and multiple contributions to industry publications such as Search Engine Land, where I shared strategic perspectives on visibility, skills, and the future of SEO. Across platforms, my goal is always to see that my writing emphasizes clarity, practical vision, and preparation for the AI-driven future of search.

2025 has been a pivotal year for digital search and SEO. The rapid rise of AI-driven discovery, generative models influencing how information is presented, and search experiences beyond classic blue links have made it essential for marketers and technologists to rethink long-held assumptions.

In this context, my articles—both on the WebPro blog and on external authoritative platforms—have consistently addressed the changing landscape. In 2025 my articles deep dive into AI search mechanics, indexing considerations, prompt engineering, as well as broader reflections on skills and strategies that SEOs must develop to stay relevant.

Below is a comprehensive table summarizing her published work in 2025 across platforms, with dates, categories, links, and topics for easy reference.

2025 has been a high-impact year and I have tried to share my views about the evolving nature of SEO. I hope I have been successful in bursting the myth that SEO is no longer needed because of AI search and LLMs.

The mix includes comprehensive posts on WebPro.in/blog, which leaned into the future of search technology, and industry platform contributions, which brought Indian digital strategy insights to a global audience. Taken together, the articles reflect not just a consistent publishing rhythm but a thoughtful evolution of themes—where SEO is understood not as a set of tactics, but as a discipline that must adapt to AI-powered interpretations and multi-platform visibility.

The purpose of this annual review presentation is to demonstrate a clear intention to educate, bridge thinking gaps, and prepare peers and clients for what’s next in search. It’s a body of work that aligns with the challenges and opportunities of 2025—and sets the tone for continued thought leadership into 2026.

SEO Is Not a Tactic. It’s a Discipline.

SEO sits at the intersection of:

• Technology
• Content
• User experience
• Accessibility
• Trust
• And now, AI comprehension

We treat it as a strategic discipline, not a checklist.

Our role is not just to optimize websites—but to interpret how the web is changing and help businesses adapt responsibly.

The Web Will Keep Evolving. So Will We.

From helping businesses get online,
to helping them get found,
to helping them be trusted,
to helping them be understood—

WebPro’s journey reflects the evolution of the web itself.

And as the web moves into an AI-driven future, our role remains the same:

To interpret change.
To prepare responsibly.
To build digital presence that lasts.

Our Commitment

We commit to:

• Ethical, standards-aligned practices
• Thoughtful, experience-led strategy
• Clarity over complexity
• Sustainability over shortcuts
• Preparing clients for what comes next—not just what works now

With this commitment and continued curiosity, we step into 2026 with optimism and quiet confidence. The past year has reaffirmed our belief that SEO is not disappearing—it is maturing. As search evolves, as AI reshapes discovery, and as new platforms emerge, the need for clarity, structure, and meaningful digital presence only grows stronger.

Despite recurring declarations that “SEO is dead,” our experience tells a different story: SEO is evolving, expanding, and becoming more integral than ever to how information is understood and trusted. We look ahead to 2026 with a sense of purpose, ready to contribute thoughtfully to an industry that continues to move forward.
