Breaking into a technical industry can feel intimidating for marketers, especially when you're surrounded by engineers, product experts, and complex technologies. But you don't need to become an engineer to become an effective industrial marketer. In this episode, you'll learn practical strategies for building confidence, creating stronger content, and connecting with technical audiences. In this episode, Natae, Content and Brand Marketing Manager at Novaspect, shares how she immerses herself in new industries and markets by interviewing customers and subject matter experts, joining industry organizations, reading trade publications, and learning the language her audience uses. She explained her goal isn't to know every technical detail. It's to understand why customers care and what challenges they're trying to solve.The conversation also explores the growing importance of authentic, human-centered content. While product specifications and technical capabilities still matter, the people behind the brand often create the strongest performance across social media platforms. From showcasing company culture to capturing unscripted interviews with sales engineers at trade shows, Natae has found that genuine content consistently outperforms overly polished marketing.The episode also highlights why content creation shouldn't be limited to the marketing department. Encouraging leaders, salespeople, HR professionals, and technical experts to share their knowledge helps build trust, supports recruiting, and extends a company's reach. Marketing's role becomes one of enabling, amplifying, and repurposing that expertise across channels.Whether you're new to industrial marketing or looking for fresh ways to strengthen your strategy, this episode offers practical advice for building credibility, creating better content, and connecting with technical audiences in a meaningful way.ResourcesConnect with Natae on LinkedInConnect with Wendy on LinkedInLearn more about NovaspectDownload the 2026 State of Marketing to Engineers Research ReportRelated Episode: AI Visibility: The Future of Search Optimization

If your content strategy still revolves around publishing endless "what is" and "how to" articles, it's time to update your strategy. Learn why taking a clear point of view, investing in original research, and building credibility beyond your own website are becoming key differentiators in the age of AI search. In this episode, Sooraj Shah, Content Marketing Lead at Aikido Security, shares why thought leadership and PR are becoming more valuable than ever and how companies can create content that both audiences and AI trust.Drawing on his background as a technology journalist, Sooraj explains why Aikido has shifted away from producing generic "what is" and "how to" articles in favor of opinion-driven content backed by evidence. Rather than publishing the same advice as their competitors, the team focuses on taking clear positions, sharing original perspectives, and supporting those viewpoints with research and real-world expertise.The conversation also explores how AI search is changing content strategy. While SEO remains an important foundation, Sooraj believes brands need to think beyond rankings and create content that offers unique insights, original data, and credible perspectives that large language models are more likely to surface. He also shares why third-party media coverage, annual research reports, and strong relationships with industry publications play an increasingly important role in building authority.Finally, Wendy and Sooraj discuss a challenge many marketers face today: measuring the impact of thought leadership. Unlike traditional SEO content, success isn't defined by rankings alone. Instead, marketers should look for signals such as media citations, industry engagement, social sharing, and whether their ideas are influencing conversations within their market.ResourcesConnect with Sooraj on LinkedInConnect with Wendy on LinkedInDownload the 2026 State of Marketing to Engineers Research ReportRelated Episode: AI Visibility: The Future of Search Optimization

A study of 680 million AI citations just proved what nobody else is telling you. Only 11% of the sources ChatGPT trusts also get cited by Perplexity. 89% of what works on one platform is completely ignored by the other.There's no single "AI search optimization" strategy. There's ChatGPT optimization, Perplexity optimization, Google AI optimization, and Claude optimization. Four platforms, four completely different rule books.In this episode, I break down the 680-million-citation study that exposed the overlap gap, why ChatGPT traffic converts at 11.4% versus Google at 3.9-5.3%, and what each AI platform actually trusts with a full platform-by-platform breakdown. ChatGPT leans on Bing indexing and structured content. Perplexity pulls heavily from Reddit and rewards freshness. Google AI Overviews prioritize schema markup. Claude favours depth and authority.I also cover the content formats that get cited 67% of the time versus 18%, structural elements that multiply citation rates (FAQ schema delivers a 221% lift), why Reddit accounts for 46.7% of what Perplexity cites, and the Princeton research that tested 9 techniques against 10,000 queries to find what actually works and what actively hurts.ChatGPT handles 200M+ queries daily. Perplexity exceeded 500M monthly queries. If you're not visible on these platforms, you don't exist in the conversation.#GEO #GenerativeEngineOptimization #AISearch #AIVisibility #ChatGPT #Perplexity #GoogleAI #AISEOStrategy #EcommerceMarketing #AISearchOptimization #BrandVisibility #DigitalMarketing #ContentStrategy #AICitations #SEO

As AI changes how people search, marketers face a new challenge: getting their brand seen in AI-generated results. Learn how SEO expert Jason Khoo says you can appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews, and more. In this episode Wendy Covey and Jason Koo, founder and CEO of SEO agency Zupo, discuss the evolving landscape of SEO in the age of AI especially as more searchers turn to AI platforms for their answers, how can marketers ensure their brands appear across AI Overviews, ChatGPT results, Perplexity results, and beyond?Wendy and Jason emphasize that the fundamentals of PR and traditional SEO remain the foundation for success in AI visibility. Getting featured in trusted publications and earning backlinks from those sources continue to be essential strategies.They also discuss users and their changing search behaviors. Are more users going straight to ChatGPT for their searches? Are they starting with Perplexity and then completing a secondary search on Google? As these habits evolve, marketing attribution becomes more complex. How do these changes affect referral, organic, and direct traffic attribution?Currently, there's no perfect way to measure AI-driven traffic and visibility. Jason shared that his team uses PEECAI to track AI visibility, while platforms like HubSpot are developing their own AI measurement tools. Even without a universal metric, understanding how your content performs in AI results is becoming a crucial part of marketing analytics.But one of the most important questions on marketers' minds is how to rank on AI. Jason walked us through his top three strategies:Appear on the first page of Google's Search Engine Results Page Research shows a strong correlation between ranking on Google's first page and appearing in AI-generated answers. Jason cited several studies, including a ChatOptic report that found a 67% overlap between top-ranking pages and AI answers. A Seer Interactive study found that Google organic keywords were the top correlating factor for appearing in AI answers. In other words, if you rank well for specific keywords, you have a better chance of appearing in AI answers for those topics.Appear in listicles Jason also highlighted that brands featured in listicles like “Top 10” articles on review or ranking sites are more likely to appear in AI results. However, he cautioned that only high-quality listicles (those ranking on the first page of Google) are effective. Creating your own “Top 10” list and ranking yourself at the top can appear disingenuous, so aim to earn placement organically.Answer topics from AI's "Query Fan Out" Jason explains that when LLMs try to answer questions, they will often seek answers to related questions simultaneously in order to be able to serve a more in depth answer. If your brand has the best answers for the primary question of an AI user AND the answers to the related questions, you're more likely to appear in the AI answer. How do you know this list of questions in an AI's "query fan out"? Most AI tools will not tell you even if you ask, but Perplexity does! Run through some questions with Perplexity and ask it what it's related questions are - now you have a roadmap to all the related topics that align with AI's logic. The "Query Fan Out" strategy is likely to evolve over time but this is great tactic to know. So, where should you begin? The first step is to measure. Get familiar with how AI traffic is being tracked in your analytics tools, whether that's Google Analytics, HubSpot, or another platform. From there, examine how much traffic is coming from AI-driven so

Are you spending too much time worrying about whether you need to impress search engines or AI tools? You might feel panicked and ignore it completely or abandon traditional SEO to chase the shiny new thing. Well, both approaches are wrong. The truth is, you can't do AI optimization (AIO) without traditional SEO—they're not separate strategies, and one builds on the other.In this episode, I'm breaking down what still matters in traditional SEO, what AI optimization actually means, and how these two approaches work together instead of replacing each other. I'll walk you through the exact content structure changes you need to make to show up in both traditional search results and AI-generated answers, why AI-generated content doesn't perform well for AIO, and what you should actually focus on if you're feeling overwhelmed by all of this.__________________________________________EPISODE 164.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: Coming Soon______________________________________________Here's info on your host, Erin OllilaErin Ollila believes in the power of words and how a message can inform – and even transform – its intended audience.

We're kicking off the new year by talking to one of the foremost authorities on SEO, Muhammad Yasin, VP of Marketing at High Alpha—winner of multiple national marketing awards and recognized by the Indianapolis Business Journal as one of Indy's Forty Under 40. In this episode, Muhammad talks about prioritizing creativity over a technicality in your content strategy, tailoring your SEO strategy to pull in high-quality leads, and much more.---------Quote“Previously what would happen was you bring the analytical in first. They build the keyword list and they give it to the creative side. What I found over the years is that actually results in a poor outcome of content for creative because they're stuck in a mental box, not being their best self. I'm certainly not advocating ignoring everything algorithmically. What I'm saying is that the story has to come first. Then second, you bring in the algorithm.” ---------Time Stamps:* (1:03) Get to know Muhammad Yasin, and what is a venture studio?* (6:05) How have SEO tactics evolved in the past 10 years?* (8:13) Prioritizing creative or revenue in your content strategy* (11:44) When should a company in the ideation phase introduce SEO into its strategy?* (15:44) Create an SEO strategy for a market creator * (17:23) Using SEO to target high-quality leads * (21:27) How to convince leadership to gamble on organic content * (23:10) Lightning round!* (28:01) Ryan and Drew's key takeaway --------Contact UsGot a topic idea?
