Week 2 of your Credibility Factor journey:
First a relevant story:
Last week my phone rang, it was a an event looking for a speaker for their November event for their Tech company's meeting. They asked an AI platform for keynote speaker ideas in Dallas - and said my name came up several times and based on my website and video, chose me. No negotiation, no debate, the choice was made before they called me and booked me for a local event at full fee.
In the last 6 months, I've seen my organic SEO-driven website requests reduce significantly. Yet from the efforts I've made using this GSO strategy I've seen my AI originated requests increase significantly. Your visibility with your website, google, social media, video, media (etc...) all feeds the AI engines.
