My name is Tyson and joining me today is Siri Lee, Senior Director, Global Direct Consumer at Manscaped, where she leads the brand's global e-commerce strategy and digital customer experience. Today, we're going to be talking about who owns AI Discovery, why GEO and AEO are forcing SEO teams to work across traditional organization barriers, and what it takes to move fast when search is changing faster than most organizations can adapt.
0:48As AI search evolves, will we spend more time on on-site activities or off-site activities? I think right now there is some evidence that the off-site may matter more. With that said, though, you absolutely need to have kind of a balance and a holistic narrative. Time for a one-minute break to hear from our sponsor, Previsible. So you're looking for SEO help, and you've got a couple of options. You could start replying to spam from agencies that claim they can get you to rank number one on Google. You can pay an hourly rate for a consultant who will inevitably nickel and dime you with hourly charges.
1:31Or you can work with a cookie cutter agency to quickly launch a strategy-less project with low success rate. None of those sound very good, now do they? Well, that's where Previsible's integrated consulting model comes in. Previsible draws from a collective 40 years of SEO and digital marketing experience to unlock your organic growth opportunities. They build custom solutions that combine strategy, technical expertise, content, and reporting to effectively operationalize SEO for your business. Prefizzable's four-stage approach ensures that your SEO programs thrive by starting off with a strategy-first approach.
2:06Then they support you in your efforts to create quality content, help you identify technical issues, and most importantly, they'll work with your cross-functional teams to integrate your SEO strategies to make sure that your SEO budget actually drives results, not just your agency's bottom line. So join brands like Yelp, eBay, Canva, Atlassian, Square, all who rely on the SEO consultants at Previsible. For more information, go to previsible.io. That's previsible, P-R-E-V-I-S-I-B-L-E.io.
2:41While I think we have some data in the offsite direction, I truly firmly believe that one, the onsite is what's more in our control. And two, we all need to make sure that we work from the same foundation and toward the same objective in both spaces.

Off-site signals now outweigh on-site control in AI search. Siiri Lee, Senior Director of Global Direct-to-Consumer at MANSCAPED, brings two decades of experience scaling DTC and omnichannel ecommerce through conversion optimization, personalization, retention, and loyalty programs. She breaks down why on-site levers remain the most controllable investment even as off-site signals gain weight, and outlines a framework for aligning previously siloed teams around one holistic narrative and shared discovery objectives. The conversation frames cross-functional alignment, not channel-specific tactics, as the foundation for scaling AI search performance.
