AI search visibility means little if the recommendation gets your business wrong. In this episode, Chris sits down with Justin Inman, founder and CEO of emberos and a former Google enterprise growth leader, to explore how AI-generated answers shape brand discovery. They discuss generative engine optimization, the shift toward zero-click search, and why accurate recommendations depend on signals across your website, reviews, publishers, and creators.
Justin explains how his team approaches AI brand management by tracing the sources behind inaccurate answers and identifying which information to correct. The conversation covers testing customer questions across chatbots, the limits of visibility scores and content shortcuts, and the challenge of measuring AI-assisted purchases. Justin also shares how Granola, Claude, and HubSpot support his meeting preparation, with human review remaining essential.
Listen to learn what to check first and how to assess whether your brand is being recommended for the right reasons.
