Search didn't die. It changed who gets seen.

I speak and collaborate as a guest expert on how AI visibility actually works. Since AI search arrived there has been real confusion — and a lot of confident misinformation — about how AI "uses" SEO to decide who gets recommended. I cut through it: education-first, vendor-neutral, a real talk rather than a product demo.

The Keynote

How to Make AI Pick Your Brand

AI no longer hands people a list of links — it picks an answer. This keynote shows why AI recommends some brands and quietly ignores others, and gives the audience a clear, repeatable model for becoming the brand AI chooses. No jargon, no product pitch — just the mechanics of visibility in the answer-engine era.

  • Why being invisible to AI is now an existence problem, not a ranking problem
  • How AI decides which brands to trust, cite, and recommend
  • The first moves to engineer authority once — and get cited everywhere
