About this Event

EVENT SUMMARY

AI is changing the way your customers make decisions. The question is, are you making the right changes now to adapt to this new reality?

When it comes to influencing AI, there is a lot of confusion and snake oil out there. Countless voices are touting shortcuts and hacks to get AI mentioning your brand or nudging audiences toward your offerings. Unfortunately, much of this advice is nonsensical or even harmful, and only a small fraction is truly legitimate.

In this must-see presentation, Steve Robinson explains how AI chatbots and agents "think" and how you can influence them in ways that won't shoot yourself in the foot later. You’ll get a sneak peek to where the technology is headed next and how you can set yourself up to succeed – both now, and in the “agentic AI” future.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Learn the 3 distinct levers where your brand can influence an AI's response and where to focus your efforts
  • Understand SEO vs. GEO – how optimizing for AI is different from search and how they work together
  • Take immediate action and execute 4 changes today to get more mentions and recommendations by AI
