What’s going on with AEO/GEO/AI Visibility/etc.?
This week, Ashley Zeckman invited me to come share my POV at the annual Spotlight Summit, and in a blisteringly fast 25 minutes, I walked folks through the three stages of GEO, how agentic is changing search, and the two platforms that provide REAL AI visibility measurements AND are completely free to use.
Also got to watch and hear from longtime friend Justin Levy who convinced me to try something new in my own personal marketing, catch up with Joel Harrison who I last chatted with at Martechopia in the UK, Alexander Shyshko (from WAY back during Marketo Summit) and chat with many of the Spotlight team about where AI itself is going.
Along the way, we were adjacent to Taylor Swift’s family recording a podcast on a different floor in the building.
Thanks to Ashley, Clare Coffey, Rick Nash, Jake Hale, and many others. If you’d like to catch just the lecture portion of my talk (Q&A convo is reserved for the folks who made the trek to be there), you can watch it free here:
