SMALL BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEO, AI, AND AEO

Wednesday, September 24 I 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. I Virtual

With the rise of AI-generated overviews and the slow disappearance of clicks, your digital strategy needs more than just keywords and an aesthetic homepage. Today’s search engines—and the large language models behind them—are scanning everything about your business: your blog, your reviews, your Instagram feed, even your tone of voice.

Join Evelyn Powers of Design Powers for a powerful presentation that will equip you with the strategies and insights you need to stay visible, relevant, and competitive in the age of AI-powered search.

Registration for Chamber members is free. Prospective members may register for $25. All registrants will receive the Zoom meeting link in the confirmation email upon registration.
