Getting Mentioned by AI: Separating Snake Oil from Sound Advice

AI is changing the way your customers make decisions. The question is, are you making the right changes now to adapt to this new reality?

When it comes to influencing AI, there is a lot of confusion and snake oil out there. Countless voices are touting shortcuts and hacks to get AI mentioning your brand or nudging audiences toward your offerings. Unfortunately, much of this advice is nonsensical or even harmful, and only a small fraction is truly legitimate.

In this must-see presentation, Steve Robinson explains how AI chatbots and agents "think" and how you can influence them in ways that won't shoot yourself in the foot later. You’ll get a sneak peek to where the technology is headed next and how you can set yourself up to succeed – both now, and in the “agentic AI” future.

• Learn the 3 distinct levers where your brand can influence an AI's response and where to focus your efforts
• Understand SEO vs. GEO – how optimizing for AI is different from search and how they work together
• Take immediate action and execute 4 changes today to get more mentions and recommendations by AI

Food for Kidz is a Dane County nonprofit is making a powerful impact on food insecurity by turning community energy into action. Since 2005, they’ve mobilized nearly 1,000 volunteers – many of them youth – for a large-scale annual meal-packing event that produces between 300,000–400,000 nutritious, shelf-stable meals in just one day. With over 4.7 million meals already distributed locally and globally, they’re approaching an incredible milestone: 5 million meals.

Volunteerism is at the heart of their mission and you can help! Sign up to work a shift (or more) during their October 11 event. There are also opportunities to get involved year-round through a volunteer committee. Their work not only provides critical meals for families in need, but also inspires the next generation to lead with service, compassion, and community connection.
