SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as we know it has been evolving largely due to AI.

This week on the S.O.B. (Small Owned Business) Marketing podcast, Vivian and I are discussing new SEO terms like AEO (answer engine optimization), GEO (generative engine optimization), and SEO (search EVERYWHERE optimization).

We also mention how these new SEO terms highlight the changing landscape of being found online and what small businesses can do to stay competitive in the marketing world, especially as AI continues to influence search engines and consumer behavior.

This week’s Marketing HOT TAKE: Small business owners can no longer ignore how AI is being used in the business world. Are you Team AI or Team No AI? Let us know in the comments!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
