In this episode of the Buying Online Businesses podcast, Jaryd Krause chats with Ben Dankiw about two exciting topics: the changing world of SEO with generative AI and what it’s like to sell a business and figure out what’s next.

Ben is a PPC expert and even a mathematician, with over 12 years of experience helping big brands like Porsche and Canadian Tire succeed online. He shares his story of selling a big part of his agency, what that process was like, and how he’s planning his next steps.
