Marketing and sales 101 is it's way easier to sell something that people want versus try to educate people. Yes. Yeah. I agree with Danny and we used to try telling people SEO and GEO is, it's the same thing and we still tell them it, but instead of fighting people on that, we say, all right, you have an RFP just for GEO and this is what you're looking for. We'll let them know. Happy to help you. Yeah. We'll let them know clearly that it's going to involve SEO and other things. And things that they may already have vendors for.
