Voices of Search // A Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & Content Marketing Podcast

Show Notes

Four acronyms now compete to define search: GEO, SEO, AEO and LLMO. Jordan Koene is CEO and Co-Founder of Previsible, the AI discovery agency he founded in 2020. He previously served as CEO of Searchmetrics Inc. and Head of SEO and Content Development at eBay. He explains why Previsible positions around "AI Discovery" instead of committing to a single acronym while the discipline's boundaries are still being defined. The conversation covers category-level positioning for an agency in an unsettled market and leadership through ongoing change in AI search.

Organic traffic down 30% while revenue holds flat points to an attribution problem, not a visibility problem. Jordan Koene, CEO and Co-Founder of Previsible, former CEO of Searchmetrics Inc. and former Head of SEO and Content Development at eBay, advises nearly 100 enterprise clients through the shift to AI discovery. He outlines why synthetic prompt-based visibility scores should give way to lagging KPIs such as revenue, conversion, and product-category attribution, with first-party revenue, sales, and signup tables as the source of truth for what drives brand selection. He also covers a brand-asset hygiene framework (help centers, pricing, and about pages, plus review volume and freshness, citation coverage, and backlink freshness) and a "follow the money" budget approach that keeps Google as the core channel while funding ChatGPT citation work.

Paywalled education filters out talent before hiring begins. Venkata Pagadala, AI Product Manager for Search at AT&T, argues that financial barriers to learning hide capable candidates from employers. He defines work as a profit-sharing exchange of human time and skills, and education as a separate good that money should not restrict. He makes the case for open-access education as a talent-sourcing strategy, because a public knowledge base widens the candidate pool and lets business owners hire the right person.
