AI has become the primary mechanism for customers to find products and services on the web.

When someone asks ChatGPT "what's the best accounting software for a small business", AI doesn't show ten results - it names two or five businesses and moves on. If you're not one of them, you're invisible in the fastest-growing discovery channel of 2026.

This session is brought to you by Skill Up and Shine x BrandViz.AI. It cuts through the hype around AI search and gives entrepreneurs and professionals a practical, jargon-free understanding of what's actually changed, what it means for their business, and what you can do about it - starting this week.

Every attendee can request a free AI visibility snapshot - see how your business shows up when potential customers ask AI certain queries, and who your actual competitors are in those answers.

Content: best practices to be found by customers through traditional internet search, the shifting landscape, how AI search actually works - in plain English, why some business get recommended and others don't, the visibility gap for business - shown with real data, practical things you can do to increase your chances of showing up.

Dynamic: The session alternates between content delivery, reflection and discussion.

Level: All levels welcome - no technical background required.
