Then visit I Hear Everything dot com. I'm Joryn Cooney, and joining me today is Garrett Sussman, Director of Marketing at I Pull Today, Garrett and I are going to talk about what AI search behavior actually looks like. Why conversational search is changing how people discover information, and how marketers can separate real opportunity from industry noise. Will visibility continue to be a north star of measuring AI performance? It has to be. I think that people don't want the friction of having to do the research themselves. I think people are unfortunately kind of lazy, and as the output gets better. 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. 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. Previsible's four-stage approach ensures that your SEO programs thrive by starting off with a strategy first approach. Then 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. It just matters that you are recommended and then ultimately searched for because you're recommended.
