AI search is already changing how customers find (or don’t find) your business. Before someone clicks your website, AI systems like Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, voice search, and more are filtering who gets recommended—and who gets ignored. If AI doesn’t see you as credible, authoritative, and trustworthy, you can be invisible even if you rank on page one. That’s why so many business owners are seeing a slowdown and blaming the economy… when the real issue is authority. In 2026, visibility isn’t just “SEO keywords and backlinks.” It’s your digital footprint, your citations across trusted sources, your expert-led content, your reviews with context, your structured answers, and your brand clarity across platforms. This episode explains how AI search actually works, what signals AI looks for, and how to position your business, agency, practice, contractor service, nonprofit, or ministry as the recommended answer. If you want more inbound leads, more calls, and more trust—this is your roadmap for AI SEOand long-term authority.
