Hi {{first name | friend}},
A weird thing happened recently, and it finally made me realize that as business owners, and creators, you and I can no longer ignore AI’s impact and importance on SEO in 2026.
But first - take a moment to visit today’s sponsor:
Your ads ran overnight. Nobody was watching. Except Viktor.
One brand built 30+ landing pages through Viktor without a single developer.
Each page mapped to a specific ad group. All deployed within hours. Viktor wrote the code and shipped every one from a Slack message.
That same team has Viktor monitoring ad accounts across the portfolio and posting performance briefs before the day starts. One colleague. Always on. Across every account.
OK, so I asked ChatGPT for the best Youtube courses for new Youtube creators.
And instead of showing me a list of random blog posts like Google used to, it just… answered me directly.
Same with Perplexity. Same with Google AI Overviews. Same with Claude.
Which means we are entering a VERY important era for creators and business owners: People are no longer just “searching.” They are asking AI what to trust.
And if your brand, website, products, or content are not being mentioned in those answers?Well, You are invisible in an entire layer of the internet now.
This is why getting your brand cited in AI search results matters so much in 2026.
Because AI tools are becoming recommendation engines.
They summarize.
They shortlist.
They suggest who is credible.
They decide which creators get surfaced during discovery.
Basically, the robots are giving referrals now.
Which sounds dystopian until you realize this is actually a HUGE opportunity for creators who build strong content ecosystems.
So, how do you make sure all these AI tools are recomending YOU and YOUR BUSINESS by name?
👉 Watch this workshop and follow along, to implement exactly what AI needs to be able to recommend you!
(It’s on special today for just ten bucks!)
The brands that become “AI recommended” over the next few years are going to have an unfair advantage in visibility, trust, and traffic.
