PR and SEO used to feel like two different disciplines. AI visibility is helping bring them much closer together.

Pierpont’s Chris Ferris recently joined Koa Kauwe on SEO On-Air with Tyler Jacobson of 4B Marketing Co. and Lindsey Carnett of Marketing Maven to talk about why SEO agencies are increasingly looking to PR, how earned media factors into AI visibility and why visibility, not rankings, may be the better way to think about GEO.

It’s a helpful conversation about how search is changing and what that means for PR, SEO and marketing teams.

AI visibility takes more than publishing more content or landing a single media placement. It depends on building a clear, credible and consistent presence across the sources AI platforms find and trust.

That was one of the key themes from our live conversation with Pierpont’s Chris Ferris, Meltwater's Christie Horgan and Visto’s Tom Lee. Thank you to our panelists and everyone who joined us to explore how owned content and earned media can work together to strengthen visibility in an AI-powered landscape.

Great conversations and valuable insights at last week's TEI Presidents’ Forum at The Briar Club.

Pierpont was proud to sponsor the event, and Chris Ferris had the opportunity to introduce Dr. Sidika Bayram of the University of St. Thomas, who delivered a detailed and highly relevant economic update that resonated with attendees.

Chris later joined a marketing and branding panel moderated by Bo Bothe of BrandExtract, alongside Kathleen Clark of Rice Business and Sean Barnes of Wolf Executives.

A few key themes emerged from the discussion:

- AI visibility is becoming an increasingly important part of business growth
- The customer journey is more complex and less predictable than ever
- Successful companies must have a clear understanding of their audiences, business goals and marketing strategy
- Marketing channels work best when their messaging and content reinforce one another
- Sales and marketing must work together, not operate in silos

Thanks to The Entrepreneurship Institute for bringing together such an engaged group of business leaders and for hosting an outstanding event.
