Speaking

Podcasts, panels and keynotes on AI search. I spent years on Chicago stages before I got into SEO, so a mic doesn't scare me.

Talk topics

How AI search decides which brands to recommend

What ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews pull from, why some brands show up and others don't, and how to change it.

Measuring AI visibility without fooling yourself

What share of voice, citations and sentiment can and can't tell you, and how to report on them honestly.

Where search budgets should go next

How to split investment between traditional SEO and AI search as buyer behavior shifts.
