AI search visibility: a free video course

Five short lessons for in-house marketers on how ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers decide which brands to name. Each lesson is a few clips from the show, about an hour in all, with what to keep from each clip and where our own evidence disagrees.

This is for marketers who run search or manage the people who do. If you own the business and want to judge what an agency tells you about AI, start with SEO 101 instead.

How the lessons work

Every clip plays from our YouTube channel and stops where the point ends. Under each one you get who is speaking and when, the idea worth keeping, and, where a speaker says something our evidence does not support, a note that links the evidence. We do not repeat a guest's statistics in our own words: if you hear a number in a clip, it is the speaker's, and we have not checked it.

5 lessons, 14 clips, 62 min of video. Each lesson ends with one thing to try before the next.
