Brand and PR are back because LLMs look for what shows up consistently. And agents are not here to read your site, they are here to take action. In this episode: Why LLM traffic converts 6x better (and why it is not a blip) The four shifts from SEO to AEO Why brand is back in the AEO era Google's WebMCP spec: when agents stop reading and start doing Brand guidelines as AI guardrails, not static PDFs Guy's six-level AI maturity model for marketing teams Individual AI vs. institutional AI: why individual wins don't automatically scale Subscribe for more conversations with the operators and builders turning AI from experiment into infrastructure.
