Every multimillion $ business I know is adapting to AI marketing. Every failing business is doing the opposite. People are falling behind without realising it. Somehow they are still ignoring AI... (In particular, AI search) And their businesses will suffer because of it. The best time to learn this new AI-powered funnel was yesterday... The second best time is today. I've already used this exact playbook to: ✅ Drive millions of impressions and thousands of leads every month.  ✅ Build and scale multiple 7 and 8‑figure companies. ✅ Generate over $10M in revenue this year alone. Here's how it works: (Check out the full sheet for examples/details 👇) 📢 Awareness ↳ Make people aware you exist. Online Location: - Organic social (LinkedIn, TikTok) - AI search (AEO + GEO) - Traditional SEO (top‑of‑funnel content) KPIs: - Impressions - AI citations in answers - Organic traffic growth Strategy: - Optimise content for AI answers.  - Use founder‑led content marketing.  - Publish broad awareness content for search. 📚 Consideration ↳ Educate and nurture that audience. Online Location: - Organic blogs  - Educational social content - Forums KPIs: - Session time, scroll depth - Returning visits - AI snippet appearances Strategy: - Build mid‑funnel SEO content - Engage in communities AI scrapes - Use gated content to capture leads 🎯 Intent ↳ Capture those evaluating your offer. Online Location: - Bottom‑funnel SEO (pricing, reviews) - AI‑powered chatbots on landing pages - Branded search + referral traffic KPIs: - Demo requests, calendar bookings - Form completions - Branded search volume Strategy: - Optimise bottom‑funnel pages  - Showcase proof with real data  - Use interactive tools to capture leads 💳 Conversion ↳ Turn intent into revenue. Online Location: - Landing pages and checkout flows - Email nurture sequences - Social DMs KPIs: - Conversion rate - Revenue per lead - Cart abandonment rate Strategy: - Personalise CTAs using AI insights - A/B test AI‑generated page variants  - Layer urgency: time‑bound offers and bonuses 🤝 Loyalty ↳ Retain and grow customers. Online Location: - Email (loyalty programs, upsell flows) - Community platforms (Discord, LinkedIn groups) - Help articles and SEO‑driven support hubs KPIs: - Retention rate, repeat purchase rate - Referral sign‑ups - Engagement in community spaces Strategy: - Build personalised loyalty loops  - Use AI for predictive churn alerts - Encourage community‑led growth This is the only funnel you need to get ahead in 2025. And to get you started,  I'm very excited to be launching my new AI business: Searchable. It's an SEO & AEO growth engineer that can analyse, fix,  And scale your website to drive customers.

I had always considered SEO a more passive form of marketing. Seems my view needs to be updated! Thanks for this valuable insight. Chris

Insightful, Chris, Adapting to AI-powered marketing now is the fastest way to stay visible, win leads, and future-proof growth.

Most businesses are still stuck optimizing for humans, not algorithms. This shows exactly how to do both.

I completely agree. The businesses adapting fastest to AI aren’t just improving efficiency, they’re building a gap competitors will struggle to close.

Ignoring AI today only delays success and widens the gap. Learning and applying it now sets the stage for real results.
