ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode of E-Coffee with Experts, Patrick Dillon, Founder & CEO at WISE Digital Partners, explains how search visibility is shifting from traditional rankings to AI-driven discovery, and why businesses must rethink attribution, content strategy, and channel investment in 2026.

Patrick shares how his agency generated more leads from ChatGPT than Google for the first time, why AI-originated deals were 85% larger on average, and what professional service firms must do now to stay discoverable across LLM platforms.

He also breaks down how GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is reshaping content production, why Google Ads ROI is declining in several industries, and how recurring revenue models create long-term stability for agencies and service businesses.

If you're a founder, CMO, SEO leader, or digital marketing strategist navigating the shift from rankings to revenue attribution, this conversation is essential.
