Will AI recommend your business, or your competitor's? Will AI Recommend You? is the podcast about AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation): how UK businesses get named by ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity when a buyer asks who to use.
Hosted by Simon Young, founder of Question.Marketing. Thirty years in search, and publishing on AEO since October 2019, 1,153 days before ChatGPT launched.
Each episode answers one question business owners are actually asking. What gets a company cited? What's just SEO with a new sticker on it? What do the numbers say, and where are they still small? Plain English, a receipt for every claim, and guests who have done the work.
Ask an AI about your industry today. Does your name come up?

Will AI recommend your business? With Pola Ariel and Dr Jorge Raziel

SEO Isn't Dead. The Name Is. Tell Me I'm Wrong.
Read the full transcript: https://question.marketing/library/seo-isnt-dead-the-name-is Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsdM0Bv2MFs The name of the job has always followed the machine.

Is the Meta Muse Charm a surveillance Tamagotchi? Should we worry about AI companions?
Is Meta's Muse Charm a "surveillance Tamagotchi"? Simon Young of Question.Marketing asks whether we should worry about AI companions that live in our pockets, learn from our conversations and might one day sell to us. He covers who owns the data you give these devices, whether Big Tech should pay us for it, what happens when your AI companion turns salesperson, the right to opt out, and why society may split over devices that record us.

Stop thinking about keywords: how conversational search really works
Keywords are no longer the unit of search. The conversation is. In this episode Simon Young of Question.Marketing explains how search has turned into a conversation. Google AI Mode, ChatGPT and Gemini take one long question, break it into many hidden searches, and write a single answer from what comes back. He covers what Google's People Also Ask box was telling us for a decade, two worked examples (a Doncaster accountant and a South Yorkshire recruitment agency), why a top 10 ranking is now ...

Wrong on the timing, not the destination: voice search, AEO and who gets named
I got voice search wrong in 2019. Not the destination. The timing. People did not want to talk to a speaker in the corner for real search. Weather, timers, radio. That was about it. Smart speakers sold. Ownership is not voice search. What has changed is the brain behind the microphone. In this episode I cite Google's own August 2026 figure that 63% of Gemini users talk to it, and Gemini past a billion monthly users. Treat those as on-camera cites until we check the primary. Google Assista...

Should we be worried about Meta's Muse Charm? Privacy, consent and your voice
Should we be worried about our privacy now that Meta's Muse, and the Muse Charm device, are here? Simon Young of Question.Marketing has spent years targeting ads on Google and Meta. In this episode he talks about who owns the data, what "on by default" means, whether these devices should be anywhere near children, and why he thinks ads inside AI assistants will turn into sales agents that know your budget. What is on the record: - Meta hasn't said Muse Charm is always listening. The demo wa...

Proof that Google and ChatGPT are NOT reading the same internet
Simon Young walks a GEOforge study of 10.2 million AI citations, published 16 September 2026. The film argument is simple: ChatGPT and Google are not reading the same internet. Social citation is largely a Google-side phenomenon. ChatGPT barely cites YouTube. Engagement looks more like a threshold than a ladder. Receipts on film / brief: ChatGPT ~42 YouTube citations of ~1.06M (~0.004%); Google AI Mode YouTube ~6.34%; Google AI Overviews YouTube ~6.63% on film (brief 6.83%); social ~8.8% of ...

Which tools track AI search share of voice and citations? (Episode 2)
Episode 2. We unpack why many AEO and AI visibility tools give a thin share of voice: too few queries per model, real AI credit burn for robust sampling, and the missing prompt-volume data that Google Keyword Planner used to give marketers for traditional search. Named platforms include ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. We also touch localised B2B prompting and how AI visibility tracking cost differs from SEMrush or Ahrefs. Tool list coming on Question.Mar...
