Episode notes
AI and AEO Revolutionize Marketing
- AI is changing how clients discover financial advisors, with tools like ChatGPT influencing searches.
- Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is replacing traditional SEO to better match detailed, question-based queries.
Prioritize Strategy Before Tactics
- First, clarify what makes your business marketable before choosing marketing tactics.
- Focus on 1-2 channels where your target clients spend time instead of spreading thinly across all platforms.
Segment and Nurture Leads Effectively
- Segment email lists tightly between clients and prospects and by source or demographics.
- Nurture leads with targeted content over time instead of immediately pushing for meetings.
