The search landscape is evolving beyond Google, and Perplexity.ai is emerging as a powerful new player for high-value audiences — creating unprecedented opportunities for forward-thinking marketers.

While still smaller than Google at 15 million monthly active users, Perplexity's audience is exceptionally valuable:

30% hold senior leadership positions and 65% work in high-income white-collar professions.

For businesses targeting decision-makers with spending power, mastering Perplexity optimisation isn't just smart — it's becoming essential.

In this episode, I reveal:

• The hidden mechanics behind how Perplexity selects which brands to recommend (including how it parses queries and builds its unique search index)

• Strategies to make your brand appear in Perplexity's responses — including why getting featured in lists on high-authority websites dramatically increases your chances of recommendation

• Why Perplexity "prefers to cite multiple types of sources" and how to leverage this preference across your own website, third-party sites, and user-generated content platforms

• The exact content formats that Perplexity favours (based on client examples)

I'll share real-world success stories, including how we helped Zugu Case become the top-recommended iPad case in Perplexity results by securing strategic placements on high-authority sites like ZDNet.

As I explain in the pod:

"Perplexity isn't searching Google for these queries. Instead, it has its own search index that prioritises the most authoritative and trustworthy sites. Your chances of being recommended increase if your products or services are featured in lists, particularly those on high-authority websites."

If you're ready to implement these strategies while your competitors remain fixated solely on traditional SEO, this episode provides your complete action plan for dominating this powerful new search platform.

Google's dominance is being challenged for the first time in over a decade, and forward-thinking marketing leaders are capitalising on this pivotal moment.

ChatGPT has rocketed to 300 million weekly active users by December 2024 — growing 50% in just four months — whilst Google searches are declining in key markets. This shift isn't just reshaping user behaviour; it's creating remarkable new opportunities for visibility.

For marketing directors who master Generative Engine Optimisation, there's a strategic advantage to be gained whilst competitors remain fixated on traditional SEO tactics alone.

In this episode, I reveal:

1. The hidden mechanics of how ChatGPT selects which brands to recommend (it's not what most marketers think)

2. Three proven strategies to make your brand appear in ChatGPT's responses — including the surprising reason why one client's product is consistently recommended first

3. Why ChatGPT "likes to refer to underlying sources of data" and how you can leverage this preference for maximum visibility

4. The exact content formats that increase your chances of being referenced

I'll share real-world success stories, including how we helped Zugu Case become the top-recommended iPad case in ChatGPT results, and why The Ordinary skincare is consistently mentioned when users ask about value-focused brands.

As I explain in the pod:

"ChatGPT is powered by Bing, but that's not the only thing you need to know. SEO isn't sufficient for ChatGPT. It's one piece of the puzzle, but it's not the only thing that you need to do."

If you're ready to implement these strategies whilst your competitors are still trying to work out why their SEO isn't delivering the same results it once did, this video provides your complete action plan.
