    Aaron Rachlow: Why GEO Strategy Isn't Your Biggest Priority

    In this episode of E-coffee with Experts, Aaron Rachlow, SEO Director at Bear Fox Marketing, explains why modern marketers must rethink traditional SEO metrics as AI search, LLM visibility, and zero-click environments reshape digital strategy.

He also explains why brand mentions now influence AI visibility more than backlinks alone, and how small businesses can compete without enterprise-level budgets. You’ll learn how GEO and LLM optimization actually fit into a broader search-everywhere strategy, why traffic drops don’t always mean revenue drops, and how agencies should combine SEO with paid media to maximize limited marketing budgets.
