I would not rewrite SEO strategy because MIT research scared Twitter. Papers describe possibilities. Your site still earns on queries today.
Fair point.
Most teams skip this because it feels boring, then wonder why the dashboard looks fine while the pipeline stays quiet and nobody can name the page that actually moved a buyer to act.
Reasonable response

Improve clarity and sourcing on key pages.
Strengthen brand and email capture.
Watch click patterns on informational content.
Unreasonable response

Delete the blog.
Pivot to only AI bait posts.
Assume citations replace all traffic tomorrow.
Research as input
Use it to stress-test thin content and commodity posts.
Keep pages that drive revenue and trust.
MIT headlines are a stress test, not an eviction notice. Adapt with measurement, not panic publishing about panic.
