You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Rachael Barclay in our 91st Episode on Wednesday, July 22nd at NEW TIME – 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm (PST) as we discuss Get Found by AI: How Small Businesses Win When Customers Ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
Rachael Barclay is the founder of The Savvy Digital Co., where she helps founders and small businesses get found and chosen in the age of AI. She spent 15 years in executive operations, including as the youngest executive at the Columbia Tower Club, before trading the corporate ladder for building her own thing. Now she builds the brand strategy, automation, and AI systems most owners don’t have time to figure out themselves. She hosts the You’re Allowed* podcast and lives in downtown Seattle with her partner and their daughter, Luna.
In Rachael’s 20-minute talk she will share: Get Found by AI: How Small Businesses Win When Customers Ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity
Search has changed. Whether your customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or just Google, they’re getting one AI-written answer instead of a page of links. Is your business in that answer? In this session you’ll find out whether AI recommends you, and the simple steps to make sure it does.
Takeaways from this talk:
- AI doesn’t guess, it pulls. When AI recommends a business, it’s pulling from real sources: your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your website, and what other sites say about you. Once you know the inputs, you can control the output.
- Check yourself before a customer does. Most owners have never searched their own business in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. You’ll learn the 60-second check that shows you exactly what AI is saying about you right now.
- Write for the questions, not the keywords. AI quotes the businesses that answer real customer questions in plain language. The old SEO playbook of stuffing keywords doesn’t work the same way here.
- Recent and trusted beats big and old. Fresh reviews and a complete profile tell AI you’re active and trustworthy today. A few recent reviews can outweigh a fancy website that nobody’s verified.
- You can’t be your only source. AI trusts what others say about you more than what you say about yourself. Getting mentioned on a few trusted sites beyond your own is what moves you from findable to recommended.
