Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training As a user, do you still use search engines or have completely defaulted to AI? How will this shift reshape the agency world? How will ads work when people are only getting the one answer they need? Most agency owners are still treating SEO like it's 2012 — optimizing keywords, buying backlinks, and praying to the Google gods. But search has already changed. People are asking AI for answers, not Googling for links. And if you want your agency or your personal brand to stay visible in this new era, the rules are completely different. Today's featured guest will unpack the shift from SEO to AEO and why most businesses are invisible to AI without even realizing it. Kasim Aslam is one of the world's leading voices on Answer Engine Optimization. He runs one of the largest AEO communities and leads a six person research team that has analyzed millions of AI citations to understand how large language models choose their sources. He is also the author of The AEO Blueprint and the founder of multiple companies, including a staffing agency, a mastermind, and AEO.co. Kasim has spent the past year deep in the trenches studying how AI crawlers gather, filter, and prioritize information. When it comes to AEO, nobody has more real data. In this episode, we'll discuss: SEO is over. Understanding AEO. Why brands may get lost in LLMs. The quiet Google change that just changed everything in AI citations. The future of ads.

Why SEO Is No Longer Enough: The Rise of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) To understand Answer Engine Optimization, we must first understand that, despite what some agencies may be saying, it is not the same as SEO. Traditional search engines prioritize links. That is why entire industries exist around buying them. In the world of LLMs, backlinks barely matter. The number one ranking factor for AI citations is schema markup. And only 12.4% of websites have clean, validated schema. In other words, nearly 90% of brands are invisible to AI crawlers, regardless of how strong their SEO is. Schema isn't just another optimization tactic. It is the visibility layer. It is the metadata that helps LLMs understand and categorize your content. If your schema is broken or missing, AI cannot reference you even if your content is excellent. This is the equivalent of having a beautiful storefront on a street no one can find. The second key is social mentions. In the same way SEO relied on links, AEO relies on people talking about you. For instance, a TikTok comment from someone in the agency industry saying Jason Swenk is their go-to agency guy counts as an authority signal. LLMs weigh these human mentions heavily. Finally, a lot of the nuances on AEO are changing every day, but Kasim has learned that the real key is building authority, long-form content. That along with clear schema and personal brand is the future of staying in the conversation. Why Personal Authority Beats Brand Authority in AI Search One of the biggest shifts Kasim highlights is that answer engines prefer individuals. A person can write a book, earn a PhD, share opinions, create content, develop mastery, and build authority in a way brands cannot. That means generalists are in trouble. If your expertise is scattered, AI won't know how to classify you and won't choose you as an authoritative answer. Meanwhile, someone who goes deep in a single topic becomes the preferred answer. It is a shift away from corporate brand authority and toward personal authority. Authority is not spread across a company anymore. It sits with people. Agencies that hide behind a brand name will lose visibility. Personal brands that plant a flag will win. For agency owners, this is huge. You do not need a bigger brand. You need clear expertise tied to a real person. This is exactly why Jason positions all the Agency Mastery content around him. Personalities thrive. Brands get lost. Where LLMs Get Their Data (and Why That Just Changed Overnight) Kasim's research revealed that 21 percent of all AI citations once came from Reddit. YouTube followed at 18.8 percent. These platforms had deep context and raw human conversation, which LLMs love. Then Google quietly changed everything. Twenty two days before the interview, Google cut off 90% of the internet from AI crawlers by reducing search results from hundreds to ten. Because LLMs rely on deep search results (not the top ten), reducing the searchable depth limits the information AI can access - removing platforms like Reddit from the AI training pipeline. AI tools rely heavily on these deeper results for nuance. By limiting access, Google essentially removed Reddit and other community based sites from the AI food chain. This change sent shockwaves through stock prices and visibility, and most people never noticed. Google is protecting the content needed to train AI because only two organizations truly own the global knowledge graph: Google and Amazon. OpenAI and the rest are crawling, not casing, the internet, which means they operate at a major disadvantage. Google is playing statecraft. And according to Kasim, Google will win the AI race. The Rise of Screenless Search and Voice-Driven Results According to Kasim, we are quickly moving toward a screenless world. Eric Schmidt has said the screenless future is years away, not decades. And the younger generation is already there. Over 55 percent of people under 25 use voice instead of text. Voice queries require different markup, structure, and formatting, and only 0.3 percent of websites use voice schema. Meanwhile, 65 percent of all searches end in zero clicks. People are asking, getting an answer, and moving on. That number does not even include the people who have stopped using search altogether and have already shifted to answer engines. This means your future website is not for your audience. It is for AI. Kasim is rebuilding his personal site in Notion because he believes CSS-light, simple, stripped down sites will perform better for AI ingestion. We are entering a world where content is created for machines first and humans last. How Google Gemini Is Rewriting the Future of Advertising Here is a wild data point. When Kasim set up new Chromebooks for his kids, he discovered the default search engine was not Google. It was Gemini. Google owns Chrome. Google owns Chromebooks. Yet they replaced its primary revenue driver on its own device with a product that currently has no ads. This tells you where the company is headed. They are rebuilding a new knowledge graph optimized for answer engines, while competitors still reply on the old search-oriented graph. And the future ad model will be nothing like what agencies grew up on. If one answer becomes the default experience, where do ads go? How are they shown? What are users willing to tolerate? And will businesses have to give away deep content to earn visibility the same way early YouTubers and bloggers did? These questions will reshape the entire lead generation ecosystem. Data, Moats, and the K-Shaped Economy The people who win in this new world are those who own data. Not tool access or workflows. Data. Custom GPTs, custom models, and proprietary knowledge bases become your moat. We are entering a K-shaped economy. Twenty percent of people and businesses will become unstoppable because their productivity will outpace demand. Eighty percent will fall to zero. The middle disappears. That means agency owners must adapt, evolve, and lean into deep expertise. Vibe coding (the rapid, exploratory use of AI tools) and no code platforms are accelerating this divide. Kasim's team recreated a software that normally costs ten thousand a year in a weekend. Entire SaaS categories are about to be wiped out.

Çocuk sahibi olmak isteyen kimse namazdan sonra şu ayetleri üç kere okursa Allâh (c.c.)'un izniyle çocuk sahibi olur: “Rabbim! Geride kalanların en hayırlısı sensin, yine de sen beni yalnız (çocuksuz) bırakma!” (Enbiyâ s. 89) “Rabbim! Bana tarafından temiz bir nesil ihsan eyle! Kuşkusuz sen duâyı işitmektesin.” (Al-i İmrân s.38)Çocuk sahibi olmak isteyen kimse mümkün mertebe Esma-i Hüsnâ'dan el-Bârî (c.c.) ve el-Musavvir (c.c.) isimlerini zikretmelidir. Çocuk sahibi olmaktan umudunu kesen bir kadın peş peşe yedi gün oruç tutup sadece su ile iftar açtıktan sonra 21 kez aşağıdaki ayeti okursa umulur ki, Allâh (c.c.)'un izniyle çocuk sahibi olur: “Yahut dalga, üstünde yine dalga, onun üstünde de bulutla (kara bulut gibi bir dalga ile) kaplı büyük bir denizdeki karanlıklar gibidir; birbiri üzerinde karanlıklar! Neredeyse elini çıkarsa onu göremeyecek. Allâh bir kimseye ışık vermezse onun aydınlıktan asla nasibi yoktur.” (Nur s. 40)Hamileliğin muhafazası için her namazdan sonra şu ayet-i kerimenin okunması faydalıdır: “Ey insanlar! Râbbinize karşı gelmekten sakının. Kıyâmet sarsıntısı gerçekten büyük bir olaydır.” (Hac s. 1) Hiç hamile kalmayan veya çocuk düşüren kadın şu ayeti yazıp yanında taşırsa faydası olur: “Allâh her dişinin karnında neyi taşıdığını, rahimlerin neyi eksiltip neyi artıracağını bilir. O'nun katında her şey bir ölçüye bağlıdır.” (Ra'd s. 8)Doğumu kolaylaştırmak için aşağıdaki ayetler bir kağıda yazılıp doğumu yaklaşan kadının üzerine konulursa Allâh (c.c.)'un izniyle doğumu kolaylaşır. Ancak doğum sonrasında yazı hemen alınmalıdır: “Gök yarıldığında ve rabbine boyun eğip gerekeni yaptığında; yer dümdüz edildiğinde ve içindekileri atıp boşaldığında” (İnşikâk s. 1-4)(Misvâk Neşriyat, Eşref Ali et-Tehanevî, Terbiye-i Evlâd, s.32-34)
Medine şehrini gördüğün zaman, Allâhü Teâlâ'nın, Nebi (s.a.v.)'e ayırdığı ve Nebi (s.a.v.)'in hicret ettiği bir şehir olduğunu, ilâhi emirlerin ve Nebi (s.a.v)'in bir çok sünnetinin burada meşru olduğunu, ölünceye kadar buradan düşman ile harb edip İslâm dinini ilân ettiğini, sonra kendisinin ve kendisinden sonra hilâfet vazifesini ifa eden iki dostunun Hz. Ebû Bekir ve Hz.Ömer (r.a.e.)'in türbelerinin de burada bulunduğunu hatırla. Sonra Nebi (s.a.v.)'in buralarda gezdiğini ve ayak basmadık bir yer bırakmadığını düşünerek o nisbette huşû ve huzur içinde yürü. Nebi (s.a.v.)'in kalbine Allâhü Teâlâ'nın ifaze ettiği büyük ilim ve marifeti ve Habibi (s.a.v.)'in adını yücelterek kendi ism-i şerifiyle bile andığını, konuşurken yüksek sesle de olsa Resûl-i Ekrem (s.a.v.)'e hürmetsizlik edenin amelini mahvettiğini düşün. Sonra, O (s.a.v.)'i görüp, sözünü dinleyen ve O (s.a.v.) ile konuşan Ashâb-ı Kirâmı (r.a.e.)'e Allâhü Teâlâ'nın büyük lütuflarını düşün. O (s.a.v.)'i ve Ashâbı (r.a.e.)'i göremediğine üzüntü duy. Sonra dünyada görmek şerefine nâil olamadığın gibi âhirette de görememek tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya olduğunu düşün ve bu korkuyu hisset!Nebi (s.a.v.)'in mescidine vardığın zaman, buranın bir arsa iken, Allâhü Teâlâ'nın burasını Habibi (s.a.v.)'e ilk ve en üstün müslümanlara mescid olarak seçtiğini, ölü ve diri nice makbul müslümanların burada toplanıp namaz kıldıklarını düşün. Girmekle berâber Allâhü Teâlâ'nın seni de bağışlayacağını kuvvetle ümit et, huşû ve hürmet ile bu mescide gir. Ka'be'den sonra saygı değer en üstün makam burasıdır. Nitekim Dârânî (r.âleyh) şöyle anlatıyor: Üveys el-Karanî (r.a.) haccını yaptı ve Medine-i Münevvere'ye gitti. Mescidin kapısına gelince: “İşte Nebi (s.a.v.)'in türbesi buradadır” diye kendisine haber verildiğinde hemen bayılıp yere düştü. Ayıldığında “Beni buradan çıkarın. Nebi (s.a.v.)'in medfun bulunduğu bir beldede, benim için yaşama zevki olamaz” demiştir.(İmâm Gazâlî (r.âleyh), İhyâu Ulûmiddîn, c.3, s.766)

Send us a textStop trying to be the hero who carries everything. We dig into how Kasim built one of the most respected performance marketing agencies by mastering people, not platforms—then sold it for eight figures without ever being the technician. If you've felt stuck doing “all the things,” this conversation hands you a different operating system.We start with the mindset flip: a real business distributes weight through systems and talent. Kasim explains why paying 10% above the top of market attracts peak performers who deliver nonlinear results, and how a single great vendor can multiply margins by eliminating chaos. We unpack when to hire vendors versus employees, why your first hire should be an executive assistant, and how to move from commodity thinking to a culture that values craftsmanship and autonomy.Traffic fuels everything, so we break down the YouTube strategy that drove seven to eight‑month sales cycles with low CAC and high trust. Daily long‑form videos, no gatekeeping, retention over clickbait, and titles/thumbnails that promise exactly what the content delivers. Authenticity beats production value; useful content compounds authority and doubles as a recruiting magnet for elite talent. Then we get tactical on delegation: define the output and inputs, stay out of the middle, correct only what's objectively wrong, and preserve authorship so ownership can flourish.We zoom out to exits and wealth creation: why real estate is where money goes after it's made, how multiples expand as EBITDA grows, and why a deliberate path to an exit is the most reliable route to life‑changing capital. Along the way, we touch on purpose after liquidity, clearing your slate to chase nine‑figure potential, and the discipline to choose opportunities that can truly move the needle.If you're ready to trade hustle for leverage—hire the best, build authority you own, delegate outcomes, and aim for a multiple that changes your life—this one's for you. Enjoy the conversation, share it with a founder who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss new episodes.To Learn more about Kasim Aslam: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kasimaslam To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

Kasim Aslam is a self-made serial entrepreneur who rose from welfare in Albuquerque to become a multi-exit founder and an acclaimed thought leader in digital marketing. He built Solutions 8 into a Google Ads powerhouse (over $100 million in managed ad spend) and now focuses on Pareto Talent and Driven Mastermind, helping entrepreneurs scale with world-class delegation and smarter teams. Kasim is known for his unfiltered honesty, deep operational knowledge, and for championing the power of global talent to unlock life-changing business freedom. On this episode we talk about: Kasim's journey from hustling candy as a seven-year-old to building (and selling) multiple seven- and eight-figure companies Lessons learned growing up with a blind single mother, finding resilience through relentless failure, and redefining success after setbacks Why most people shouldn't worry about “the big idea”—and why starting scrappy (even with a humble service like window washing) is the real entrepreneurial launchpad How systemic discipline around earning, saving, and hiring the right people separates fake wealth from lasting wealth The vital difference between being an operator versus a true entrepreneur—and why the only irreplaceable skill is mastering talent: recruiting, motivating, and building world-class teams Kasim's “quarter principle” and how opportunity only reveals itself once you start moving—even if your first business “fails” How to instantly get Kasim's new book on hiring for free. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Don't obsess over the perfect idea—start where you are, fail small, and extract lessons fast; every real entrepreneur starts with a low-stakes test and levels up by learning in the field.2. Building true wealth isn't about income alone. It's about disciplined money management, playing long-term games, and, most importantly, learning to delegate and attract peak talent for every role.3. The entrepreneurial game changes at each stage: your “buy box” for opportunities evolves, and the skills to get to seven figures are different from those needed for eight or nine; self-awareness and continuous upskilling are essential. Notable Quotes "I've had 100+ failed ventures… failure's just data; nothing ever bombs 100%. You collect the lessons and level up over time." "Entrepreneurship is not fulfillment; your job is to master talent—not the work itself." "The only real leverage in business is people. Learn to build teams, pay top talent, and you'll never work a day in your life." "Everyone's chasing the home run, but the truth is, you earn your first real win after relentless singles, doubles, and pivots." Connect with Kasim Aslam: https://kasim.me/ ✖️✖️✖️✖️
