How to Rank in AI Search: The New SEO for Small Business Growth

Here's why every small business owner must attend this online workshop

Learn how AI search actually works and how it’s already deciding which businesses people buy from. Discover how to make your business the one AI recommends first, the new rules of SEO for LLMs (AI-powered search engines). See real examples of wins and failures, including where small businesses lost sales (and how you can capture them instead).

AI search is quietly rewriting the rules of marketing — and the businesses that adapt now will get a massive head start. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews are already shaping what people see, trust, and buy.

In this live online workshop, we will show you exactly how small businesses can rank in these new AI-driven searches. You’ll see real examples from my own experience — times where I searched for something, tried to buy, and either ended up purchasing from a business that nailed their AI visibility... or didn’t buy at all because the business failed to show up or make it easy.

You’ll walk away with strategies you can apply immediately to position your brand, write your content, and structure your online presence so that AI tools recommend you — helping you generate more sales, attract more customers, and grow your business in the new era of AI search.
