📍 Weekly Exclusive Interviews

AI search is quietly rewriting the rules for how buyers find and trust you. One remodeler who owned 200+ keywords vanished overnight once AI results became the front door, forcing a shift to “search everywhere optimization” around entities, not just phrases.

Raj Singh’s super IC mindset shows how Gen AI can turn one contributor into a leverage point instead of another shiny tool. And Kuber Jain reminds us that automation only scales when it still feels human to customers and sustainable for teams.

Together, these stories map how to stay visible, effective, and empathetic in an AI-shaped market.

💰Software Oasis™ B2B Executive Virtual AI Advantage Bootcamp is coming up, March 5, 2026. Lots of exciting Founder spotlights and surprises and over $100,000 in sponsor offers.

Search Everywhere Optimization for Home Services

Kyle Bailey, founder of Front Burner Marketing, explains how a high‑end remodeling client went from dominating 200+ traditional SEO keywords to disappearing from AI search—and how “search everywhere optimization” brings them back by treating the business as an entity, not just a list of phrases. Kyle’s remodeling client once held top rankings for more than 200 high‑value keywords like “kitchen remodeling,” “bathroom remodeling,” and “ADA‑compliant remodeling”—until AI search experiences rolled out and they vanished from the recommendations homeowners actually saw.
