About this episode

Ahead of our User-Centred Search webinar for the automotive industry, we’re diving into one of the biggest shifts facing automotive marketers right now: search isn’t what it used to be.
In this episode of Resting Pitch Face, Polly, Lee, and our Head of SEO, Adam, explore how the car-buying journey has fragmented across Google, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, and AI platforms, and why brands relying on traditional SEO alone are already playing catch-up. From collapsing loyalty and market saturation to zero-click search and AI-driven recommendations, they unpack what this means for visibility, relevance, and long-term brand growth in 2026 and beyond.
They cover:
- Why the traditional marketing funnel no longer reflects how people actually buy cars
- How over 130 daily touchpoints are reshaping the modern automotive journey
- The fragmentation of search demand across platforms, and how this differs to when they each purchased their cars
- The rise of AI search, zero-click behaviour, and what LLM visibility means for brand presence
If you’re an automotive marketer trying to understand where demand is shifting, how AI is changing discovery, or how to build visibility across the entire digital ecosystem, this is a little taster of the data we've got for our webinar on the 26th February.

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
