AI search is transforming how people discover information online. Instead of competing for clicks on a results page, the new challenge is earning visibility within conversational answers. For enterprise brands, that shift represents both a risk and an opportunity, and those who learn to optimize for large language models (LLMs) are already seeing measurable growth in exposure and trust. In this episode, Mike King shares how his agency iPullRank achieved a 661% increase in ChatGPT visibility for a Fortune 500 brand using the Relevance Engineering framework he developed. He explains the content restructuring and semantic optimization tactics that led to the results, how to format pages for retrieval in AI systems, and which tools actually help, including Market Brew and Profound. Mike breaks down off-page strategies that still matter, how to measure visibility across AI platforms, and what metrics to focus on beyond clicks and traffic.  Mike King is an award-winning marketing leader, SEO expert, and founder of iPullRank, a top digital marketing agency trusted by brands like Adidas, American Express, and MGM Resorts. Known for blending SEO, content strategy, and generative AI, Mike’s campaigns have driven over $4 billion in client revenue. Recognized by USA Today and LinkedIn as a top voice in SEO, he has spoken at major conferences including SXSW and MozCon.

AI search is already reshaping how people find answers. Large Language Models surface-synthesized results from across the web, which means showing up inside those responses matters as much as ranking on a traditional SERP. LLM optimization isn’t a fad; it is the next layer on top of solid SEO, and understanding how these systems choose sources is quickly becoming a competitive edge. In this episode, Gordon Meagher talks about what LLM optimization really is, what the hype is, and how to make it work for your business. We get into how prompts differ from keywords, which queries trigger live web lookups, and why Bing and Google data still drive most AI answers. Gordon shares practical on-page tactics like entity grounding and clear definitions, how to adapt internal linking for AI systems, and where off-page efforts actually move the needle. We also talk about topical authority, tools, and workflows that help, and realistic ways to influence visibility in platforms like Perplexity without chasing distractions. Gordon Meagher is the VP of SEO Strategy at uSERP, where he leads high-impact, data-driven SEO for SaaS and enterprise brands. He has over ten years of experience, previously serving as Head of SEO at Tailor Brands and Senior SEO Account Manager at Webpals Group. His background spans international SEO, link building at scale, and building content strategies that win in competitive global markets.

Affiliate marketing success stories are often framed as expensive ad campaigns or massive influencer pushes. But sometimes, strategy, timing, and execution matter far more than budget. In one of the most competitive affiliate challenges ever run, Chahid Kari proved exactly that, turning just $44 and 48 hours of focus into the #1 affiliate spot for Alex Hormozi’s book launch against 13 million competitors. In this episode, Chahid breaks down exactly how he pulled it off. From creating a lead magnet his audience already wanted, to engineering a 10%+ CTR on Instagram stories, to running smart outreach through WhatsApp and email, he reveals the step-by-step funnel he built to drive thousands of signups almost overnight. Chahid also explains why he ignored the U.S. market, how a single content post brought in 100,000+ views and 4,000 clicks, and the crucial role that generosity and prior relationship-building played in securing an influencer boost. You’ll hear how skills, hard work, and the principle of “give first” translate into not just a leaderboard win, but new clients and long-term credibility. Chahid Kari is the founder of CONQUER, where he helps VC-backed B2B SaaS founders raise money faster and scale smarter. He focuses on product metrics, cost-efficient growth channels, and brand storytelling that attracts investors. Beyond client work, Chahid has become known for his ability to engineer high-leverage campaigns, most notably when he captured the #1 affiliate spot in Hormozi’s global challenge with minimal spend.
