SEO vs. AEO: How to Stop Losing Leads and Start Dominating Search Results
-
Brandi Rogers
Premium Marketing Director,
CharTec
Read Description
Let’s cut the fluff—your website isn’t pulling in leads like it should, and we both know why. It’s outdated, slow, and Google’s algorithm treats it like it doesn’t exist. But here’s the real kicker: SEO alone isn’t enough anymore. If you’re not optimizing for AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)—aka, how people actually search today—you're handing leads to your competitors on a silver platter. In this session, we’ll break down: The difference between SEO and AEO (and why you need both), how Google’s obsession with instant answers and voice search is changing the game, the sneaky website mistakes tanking your rankings (yes, you have them), the exact steps to audit, fix, and optimize your site so you actually show up when potential clients search, no jargon, no fluff—just straight-up tactics to turn your website into a lead-generating powerhouse. So, are you in, or are you letting Google ghost you?
