Transcript from Why Do You Need AI and Search Engines to Validate Your Digital Authority? – Fastlane Founders Clips
Peter Murphy Lewis: As a fractional chief marketing officer, it’s not like I have, 249 Google five-star reviews on Google My Profile. I’m not a great Mexican restaurant in a small town. And so you. The social proof other than case studies is the Internet. And in a time, with this fluctuation of SEO, you can’t really determine what Google’s going to do with your keywords, but you can position your personal brand rather easily if you know how to do it. And I can’t give it some of advice on how to do it exactly the same way that I did, but I can tell you that’s where we lean into.
Jason Barnard: Which is a really great point. I like that I’m not a Mexican restaurant that can have five-star reviews. And it’s very true, as an individual, how Google and AI represent you when somebody searches your name or explicitly asks about you for information, do you recommend them? You have to get the machine to give you the kudos, the representation that you want.
