AEO 2026: How to Optimize for AI Search, Not Just Google

Search is no longer just about ranking on Google. As AI-generated answers increasingly replace traditional search results, brands are now competing for visibility inside summarized, citation-based responses that dramatically reduce the number of businesses users ever see. In this webinar recording, we explore how AI search engines and large language models (like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity) determine which brands, websites, and sources are surfaced, and which are ignored. Topics covered include: • How AI search is changing consumer discovery and decision-making • The growing importance of content authority, trust signals, and technical optimization • How AI systems evaluate and cite sources • Strategic implications for marketers and business leaders • Practical recommendations to improve AI search visibility and future-proof your digital presence This session combines industry research, emerging trends, case studies, and actionable frameworks to help marketers adapt to the evolving search landscape and better understand the future of AI-driven discovery.
