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.

0:47What's the biggest misconception about AEO today? That you have to do many channels to show up in AI search. To someone that's being tempted by that, they've heard Reddit, they've heard all these different other avenues, like how do you ground them? An AI visibility audit. So pick one of the tools. We have a free tool. Put your company in there. Put your competitors in there and see what AI is citing. 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.

1:29You 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. 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.

2:46Rarely will you see Reddit in there. Rarely are you going to see LinkedIn as one of those top sources. It's the easiest way to debunk that myth. 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.
