In this episode of Higher Ed Pulse, host Mallory Willsea sits down with Sarah Russell, VP of Marketing at EducationDynamics, to unpack the seismic changes to Google Search and what it means for higher ed marketers.

The duo dives deep into how institutions must shift from ranking-focused strategies to becoming AI’s go-to source of truth — and why your data might be your greatest asset right now.
