September Networking: Getting Your Business Found in the Age of AI
How easy is it to find your business online today? And what happens when your potential customers start asking AI instead of Google?
The way we search is changing, and businesses need to understand what that means for their online visibility.
In this session, Dr Esraa Karam will unpack SEO, AEO and GEO — what they actually mean, what makes a business more discoverable with AI, and the practical steps you can take to strengthen your online visibility.
Because the future of search isn't just about ranking — it's about making sure your business can be found, understood and trusted wherever your customers are searching.
You'll walk away with:
A clear understanding of SEO, AEO and GEO, and why the difference matters now
What actually makes a business more discoverable to AI-driven search
Practical, actionable steps to strengthen your online visibility straight away

Business networking for small business owners
It can be lonely running a small business so let’s take you away from your desk so you can meet some like-minded business owners to grow your connections.
You need resilience as a business owner, there are so many spinning plates to manage; time, money, resources, and of course finding customers.
Our community is here to listen, help and support.
About your host
From starting a business in The Netherlands as an expat back in 2019 it was hard to get the right answers and find other business owners that were going through the same challenges.
Where do you find information, support, and recommendations without a network?
Over time, from attending events, asking questions, requesting help, and reaching out to people, I started to build a network of people who have provided invaluable support and has opened up many opportunities.
I love getting to know people, their stories, and their challenges, helping them by ‘connecting the dots’ through connections and collaborations.
