Generative Search & AI SEO: Boost Your Brand’s Visibility
Search is undergoing its biggest transformation in a decade. With AI-driven generative answers, predictive search behavior, and evolving ranking signals, traditional SEO tactics no longer guarantee visibility. Brands relying on old strategies are already seeing traffic drops, unpredictable performance, and content that fails to appear in AI-summarised results.
This intensive 1-day workshop equips marketing and digital leaders with practical strategies to future-proof their SEO in an AI-driven landscape. You’ll gain clarity on how generative search works, learn to create content that ranks and gets surfaced by AI systems, and leave with actionable frameworks to implement immediately.
Through a mix of strategic insights and hands-on exercises, you’ll understand AI-powered search mechanics, experience-led content, and semantic optimisation. By the end of the day, you’ll have a clear roadmap to enhance visibility, improve content discoverability, and optimise for AI-driven search in 2026.
