AI SEO & GEO Online Summit

Search is changing faster than most marketers can keep up with.

The AI SEO & GEO Online Summit cuts through the noise with industry experts sharing what’s actually working right now. No big-picture theory sessions. Just real tools, real implementation, and strategies you can put to work the same day.

We host the summit throughout the year, and the next one is already in the works. New lineup, new theme, announced here first. Want the heads-up? Subscribe to my weekly AI and SEO newsletter.

Event Overview

The October 7, 2026 summit is in the books. Two hours, five speakers: real data, real implementation, no pitch at the end.

This one came together around a single question: what actually gets a business found in AI search? Two original studies answered it from different angles, and then our team showed how to turn the answers into a system that runs every month. The full replay has timestamps, so you can jump straight to the session you care about.

How to Build LLM Visibility for a New Brand With Zero Reputation

Bogdan Babiak · CMO, SE Ranking

Every brand visibility playbook assumes you already have something to work with: rankings, backlinks, reviews, a history. Bogdan walked through SE Ranking’s ongoing experiment of building a brand from scratch and tracking, month by month, how it surfaced across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Perplexity, and Gemini. Concrete numbers on which signals moved the needle and how fast each platform picked the brand up.

Inside the 850,000-Site Study: What 858,000 SMB Sites Taught Us About Local AEO

Shawn Davis · Content and Communications, Duda

Local businesses are the ones getting quietly left out of AI search, and most don’t know why. Drawing on data from more than 858,000 small business websites, Shawn broke down the signals that separate the sites AI systems find from the ones they overlook, and what to fix first.

The Strategy and System Behind Content That Actually Ranks

Simon Golding, Senior Digital Strategist & Daniel Burns, COO · Boulder SEO Marketing

Producing more content with AI isn’t the hard part anymore. Simon covered the strategy that decides what to create in the first place, so you earn rankings and citations instead of volume the engines ignore. Daniel then turned it into a repeatable, documented system that produces quality content month after month.

The Technology That Runs It at Scale

Harold De Guzman · Head of AI, Boulder SEO Marketing

You can do all of this by hand. Harold showed what happens when you don’t have to. He demonstrated microSEO, the AI SEO and GEO platform behind BSM’s human-driven AI-assisted workflow, live, including what’s under the hood and what becomes possible when strategy and system work as one.
