In this webinar, Charlie Marchant, CEO of Exposure Ninja, joined James to break down what's actually happening in AI search right now and what marketers can do about it. From the difference between mentions, citations and sources, to building a GEO strategy from scratch, Charlie made a complex topic practical and approachable.The conversation covered how AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude are changing the way brands get found online, why ranking on Google page one no longer guarantees visibility in AI answers, and how smaller teams can compete by being creative rather than outspending bigger brands.Oh, and here's Planable's super useful resource: https://planable.io/blog/how-ai-uses-social-media-data/?utm_medium=creators&utm_source=webinar&utm_content=tmmKey topics include:The difference between mentions, citations and sources in AI search resultsHow to use Google Analytics to track which AI platforms are already driving traffic and conversionsWhy 85% of AI brand mentions come from third party websites, not your ownHow to use original data, interactive tools and niche content to show up in AI answersHow to explain declining traffic to senior stakeholders by reframing around conversionsWhy brand positioning statements directly influence how AI describes your businessTimestamps:00:00 Introduction03:00 Mentions, citations and sources explained08:00 SEO vs GEO14:00 Where to start with a GEO strategy22:00 Content types wasting time vs working well32:00 Third party sources and original data42:00 Explaining traffic decline to leadership52:00 Brand positioning and AI visibility58:00 Q&AWatch / listen:Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-meetup-podcast/id1365546447Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QvmFdxg5pMwsfPkKjhXl9Please take the time to check out our partners, all of whom we work with because we think they're useful companies for lovely marketers.Frontify – All your brand assets in one place: Frontify combines DAM, brand guidelines, and templates into a collaborative source of brand truth.Mailchimp - The all-in-one marketing platform that helps teams turn emails, automation, and now SMS into smarter, more connected customer journeys (and they've been longtime friends of TMM!).Cambridge Marketing College – The best place to get your marketing qualifications and apprenticeships.Planable – the content collaboration platform that helps marketing teams create, plan, review, and approve all their awesome marketing content.Wistia – a complete video marketing platform that helps teams create, host, market, and measure their videos and webinars, all in one place.Canva - an online design and publishing tool, with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere.
