From barely visible to cited routinely by AI in a few short months


I want to share an incredible story with you Reader...

Before I figured out the AI visibility system, I was doing everything "right" according to traditional SEO advice.

High-quality blog posts. Backlinks. Keyword optimization. Domain authority building. The whole playbook.

(Maybe you can relate to feeling like you're shouting into the void?)

Heck back in 2023, I had my team spending 30+ hours a week on content, while watching my traditional Google traffic stay relatively flat. That was less than appealing so I took a break to search for better tactics...

In early 2024, I heard whispers that "AI search is the next big thing."

But I dismissed it as just another trend. Another thing to add to my already-full plate.

Then one day

Then one day, I got on a discovery call with a prospect who said something that stopped me in my tracks:

"I did some research on people who were kind of influencing this space, and your name popped up, which is kind of exciting, right?"

When I asked where they found me, they said: "It was probably ChatGPT or something."

That deal closed at five figures.

That's when I started paying attention. Really paying attention.

Here's what happened once I reverse-engineered the system and started tracking it properly:

Within 90 days:

  • ChatGPT traffic double
  • Perplexity traffic tripled
  • Gemini started citing my articles as authoritative sources
  • Google AI Overview recommended me BY NAME as a "top individual fractional CMO for tech startups" alongside major agencies
  • A YC-backed AI search company found my article through their own AI dashboard and reached out
  • A global business school invited me to speak (their students had launched 20+ ventures generating $100K+ in revenue)

The best part? The traffic that comes from LLMs is extremely well-qualified due to borrowed trust from the LLM source!

Another awesome thing about it? I achieved these results without doing extra SEO work, without hiring an agency, and without spending more time on content than I already was. (actually, I spend WAY LESS time, and I don't need a team to help on this because I use AI)

How did I do it?

By structuring my existing content in a way that AI engines recognize as authoritative and citation-worthy.

You see, my breakthrough wasn't about creating more content. It was about understanding how AI engines decide what to cite and recommend.

That's exactly why I created AI Search Rank Live.

This will work for you if you're:

  • A technical founder who understands systems but finds traditional marketing vague and unhelpful
  • Already creating some content (blog posts, LinkedIn posts, documentation) but not seeing it translate to pipeline
  • Tired of competing in oversaturated SEO channels where established players have years of domain authority
  • Even if you literally don't have a website or even a single blog post currently in your name

(The best part? You can achieve this too, even if you've never done "content marketing" or "SEO" before. AI visibility is a different game with different rules.)

We start with live training on Nov 17-18 (9-10 am ET each day, with replays available immediately after).

All the best,

Lillian Pierson

Growth Partner & Fractional CMO

P.S. I went from dismissing AI search as "just another trend" to generating 209+ highly-qualified monthly visitors and closing five-figure deals that start with "I found you on ChatGPT."

Inside AI Search Rank Live, I'm sharing the complete playbook, walking through the step-by-step system in live sessions so you can do the same.

P.P.S. Founding-member pricing ($35 instead of $592) ends Nov 17 at 9 am ET. Once it's gone, this price never comes back.
