203 | Clients Aren't Googling You. They're Asking AI.

Author: Veronica Di Polo July 17, 2025 Duration: 12:49

You used to show up in Google if someone searched your name.

Now? They ask ChatGPT. Or Claude. Or Perplexity.

And the answer that pops up... probably isn't you.

Because AI isn't showing websites. It's showing summaries.

In this episode, Veronica Di Polo explains how AI scrapes bios, captions, transcripts, and even podcast notes - and how to make sure your name, services, and links are the ones it remembers.

You'll learn what AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) actually is, why it matters more than SEO in 2025, and how to start showing up in AI search results without being a tech wizard.

This episode is especially for:
→ service pros, consultants, and creatives
→ who want to be found online
→ even if their name isn't "big" yet
