#42: Do I Have to Pay for Listings to Show Up in AI Search?
Are those paid listing sites promising that paying them will help you show up in AI search? Oh boy, let's talk.
Before you pay for a membership because a salesperson says it will help you show up on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, I want you to listen to this first.
In this episode, I’m walking through how I evaluate those sources, why a paid listing isn’t automatically valuable, and how you may be able to earn the right mentions without paying for them at all.
What I Cover:
- Why more online mentions don’t automatically mean more AI search visibility
- How to test the searches your ideal clients might actually make in AI tools
- What to look for in the source material ChatGPT uses for its recommendations
- How to decide whether a paid vendor listing could actually be worthwhile
- Two ways to build AI visibility without paying for listings

#41: How Do I Get My Instagram Profile on Page 1 of Google?
I keep noticing Instagram profiles showing up on page one of Google for competitive wedding industry searches. And yes, that means your Instagram profile could potentially rank right alongside websites!
So why is Google choosing certain Instagram profiles over all the others? There are a few things the profiles I’m seeing in search results have in common.
In this episode, I’m breaking down those patterns and the three tweaks I’d make to give your Instagram profile a better chance of getting found on Google.
What I Cover:
- Why Instagram profiles are showing up in Google search results for wedding industry keywords
- What I noticed about the profiles ranking for searches like “DC makeup artist” and “Dallas wedding photographer”
- Why follower count doesn’t seem to be the deciding factor
- How to use your most important keyword in your Instagram profile name and bio
- Why optimizing your first pinned post may give Google even more context about your location and services

#40: What If You’re “Good” At Social Media? Do You Still Need SEO?
Some people are just naturally good at social media. They enjoy making content, they know what gets attention, and it actually brings them business!
So if that’s you, do you really need to add SEO too?
In this episode, I’m talking about why your marketing strategy doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s. I also share a few situations where SEO can still be useful, even if social media is already working really well for you.
What I Cover:
- Why I think some people are naturally better suited to social media than others
- What I’ve noticed about creators who seem genuinely good at getting attention online
- Why you don’t necessarily need SEO if social media is bringing you enough bookings
- When it might make sense to add SEO as another source of inquiries
- Why your Google presence still matters when someone discovers you on social media
- Why SEO may feel easier if you prefer written, educational content over social media content
