AEO/AI search visibility and why it must start with solid SEO fundamentals; what strategies aren’t working (programmatic content volume, content farming, keyword stuffing, fixed article-length tactics).
Jenna Hannon, founder and CEO at Hatter; previously one of Uber Eats’ first marketing hires; later launched an early agency focused on AI search visibility.
AI search changes visibility and attribution, so marketers can’t rely on “pump out stuff” programmatic pages; classic SEO rules like keyword stuffing and rigid content length won’t work.
early programmatic pages produced a spike, then declined; sponsor cites brands like Yelp, eBay, Canva, Atlassian, Square using Previsible.

My name is Tyson and joining me today is Jenna Hannon, founder and CEO at Hatter. Jenna was one of the first marketing hires at Uber Eats before launching one of the first agencies dedicated to AI search visibility. And today we're going to be diving into why AEO starts with better SEO fundamentals and why AI search is changing how marketers think about visibility and attribution.
0:48What AEO strategies are not working today to move the needle? In the beginning, there was a lot of this programmatic, just pump out stuff using AI. It's all about volume and programmatic pages. That's not working. It's kind of like content farming. It's back to that. But it worked in the beginning. And so there was a big spike. And then... Time for a one-minute break to hear from our sponsor, Previsible. So you're looking for SEO help. And you 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, or you can work with a cookie cutter agency to quickly launch a strategy-less project with low success rate.
1:35None of those sound very good, now do they? Well, that's where Previsible's integrated consulting model comes in.

2:39It crashed. A lot of the classic SEO best practices that are like the length of the article and the keyword stuffing. that's not going to work in AI search. Well, with that, that is going to wrap up this episode of the Voice of Search podcast. Thanks again to Jenna Hannon, founder and CEO of Hatter for joining us.

Programmatic AI content strategies are already failing marketers. Jenna Hannon, founder and CEO of Hatter and former first marketing hire at Uber Eats, built one of the first agencies dedicated to AI search visibility after watching volume-based, programmatic page tactics spike and then crash. She breaks down why classic SEO shortcuts—keyword stuffing and arbitrary content length—collapse under AI search evaluation, and why answer engine optimization depends on stronger fundamental content quality rather than production volume.
