In this brief tactical briefing, the speaker outlines two practical strategies for improving visibility in AI‑driven (generative) search results. First, he advises identifying the specific directories or listings that AI search engines surface for you and your clients, then dedicating effort to fully optimize those entries. Second, he suggests building your own niche “best‑of” or “top‑of” directory, optimizing it, and using it as a proprietary source to help clients rank higher in generative search outcomes.

Yeah, I would say two tactical tips here. Number one, try and figure out what the engines are or the directories are that are coming up for yourself and for your clients. Because if those directories are coming up, that means the engines, the AI search engines are actually using that to serve the results. So you want to optimize those results, those listings, and you want to put as much effort into this as you can. The other cool thing you could do would be to create your own directory, best whatever in your niche, top whatever in your niche, and get that optimized. And then you've got an answer to how you're actually going to help your clients rank better in generative results.
