Join me for The New Frontier of Search
I’ll be leading a 40-minute session on SEO, AEO, and GEO: what they are, how they work together, and what your business can do today to improve visibility.
Search engine optimization (SEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), and generative engine optimization (GEO) are increasingly connected parts of how businesses get discovered. My session will help put those concepts into context so you can think more clearly about your next steps.
A hands-on evening for your business
I’ll be joined by Sam Frentzel-Beyme of Stellant and Darshaun Nadeau of Astra Pelago. Each of us will lead a 40-minute session, with time to work on your own business. Bring your laptop and come ready to participate. The goal is to leave with a clearer plan and tools you can use the next morning.
