  1. 0:00I searched AppSumo for AEO. Zero
  2. 0:02results. Meanwhile, over 30
  3. 0:04venture-backed AEO tools have over 200
  4. 0:07million in funding spread between them.
  5. 0:09Profound alone has over 58 million in
  6. 0:11funding from Sequoia and Kleiner
  7. 0:12Perkins. I scraped AppSumo directly and
  8. 0:15classic SEO tools have customer reviews
  9. 0:17in the range of at least 130 all the way
  10. 0:20up to over 950. When I look at AI search
  11. 0:22platforms on AppSumo, [music] the number
  12. 0:24of customer reviews falls in the range
  13. 0:25of 32 to 49. Now, lifetime buyers can be
  14. 0:28very practical when they find a software
  15. 0:30that they really like, and it makes
  16. 0:31sense. They focus on getting the most
  17. 0:33value that they can. So, instead of
  18. 0:34trying to buy the answer, I decided to
  19. 0:36build it instead. I'm going to show you
  20. 0:38my seven-bot rock bot system. [music]
  21. 0:41Talk about a handful. Now, this system
  22. 0:42is strategically designed to get you
  23. 0:44cited by ChatGPT. I'll share the cost to
  24. 0:46run it and, of course, any key findings.
  25. 0:47[music]
  26. 0:48Now, the reality is most of you should
  27. 0:49probably stop watching and maybe focus
  28. 0:51on fixing your product instead. However,
  29. 0:53let me give you context as to why you
  30. 0:55should listen to me and not the guy
  31. 0:56trying to sell you a $99 dashboard. Now,
  32. 0:58of course, before I built anything, I
  33. 1:00did a pretty comprehensive research
  34. 1:01pass. [music] I used Firecrawl for
  35. 1:03indexing sources. I used Appify for
  36. 1:05analyzing Reddit commentaries. This
  37. 1:07resulted in analyzing over 142 different
  38. 1:10posts and 14 different subreddits. We
  39. 1:12also analyzed every major vendor study
  40. 1:14that's been released in the last few
  41. 1:15years. [music]
  42. 1:16We also analyzed Profound's 680 million
  43. 1:19citation data set, Peaks AI 30 million
  44. 1:21sources,
  45. 1:22>> [music]
  46. 1:22>> Conductor's 238,212
  47. 1:25different prompts, Umbrellas 120,000
  48. 1:28mentions across five different
  49. 1:30verticals. And if that wasn't enough, I
  50. 1:32also scraped AppSumo's marketplace
  51. 1:34myself, which nobody else had done
  52. 1:36previously. But, here's my contrarian
  53. 1:37take and warning. It's probably going to
  54. 1:40annoy people who sell AEO services. The
  55. 1:42dashboard is not the work. You see, this
  56. 1:45entire category isn't failing because
  57. 1:47the products are bad. It's failing
  58. 1:49because the very thing they measure gets
  59. 1:51fixed by product quality, review volume,
  60. 1:54and PR. And none of that is a software
  61. 1:57feature. So, a tracker hands you a
  62. 1:59percentage that you cannot act on. What
  63. 2:01I'm about to build and show you does not
  64. 2:04tracked. It does the work. Now, with all
  65. 2:06of that being said, let's get into it.
  66. 2:08The first thing you need to realize is
  67. 2:10that you can't build agents against
  68. 2:12[music] a strategy you don't have. So,
  69. 2:14three findings fast and then we build.
  70. 2:16Finding number one, mentions beat
  71. 2:19backlinks by about 3x. Ahrefs studied
  72. 2:2275,000 different brands. Branded web
  73. 2:25mentions correlate with 0.664
  74. 2:28with AI overview visibility. Backlinks
  75. 2:30correlate at 0.218. That's the That's
  76. 2:33the whole structural shift in one
  77. 2:35number. [music] Classic SEO is going to
  78. 2:37reward what's on your domain. AI answers
  79. 2:40is going to reward what the rest of the
  80. 2:41internet thinks about you. A commenter
  81. 2:44in the Reddit AEO thread put it better
  82. 2:46than any vendor blog I've ever read.
  83. 2:48Rankings reward your own domain. The AI
  84. 2:51answers reward what everyone else says
  85. 2:53about you.
  86. 2:54>> [music]
  87. 2:55>> So, the work shifts off your own site,
  88. 2:57which means the agents I build cannot
  89. 2:59just optimize pages on your site. They
  90. 3:01have to go find and shape the
  91. 3:03third-party testimony. Finding number
  92. 3:05two,
  93. 3:06reviews are a gate, not a gradient. Now,
  94. 3:08this is the one that reframed everything
  95. 3:10for me. From SOCi's 2026 Local
  96. 3:13Visibility Index, AI platforms use
  97. 3:16reviews as a confidence threshold, not a
  98. 3:19ranking gradient. Businesses that get
  99. 3:21recommended average 4.3 stars on
  100. 3:24ChatGPT,
  101. 3:254.1 on Perplexity, and 3.9 [music] on
  102. 3:28Gemini. And locations near 3.4 stars
  103. 3:32with [music] sub-5% review response
  104. 3:34rates are effectively invisible in
  105. 3:37AI-generated local recommendations. Not
  106. 3:40ranked lower, they're excluded entirely.
  107. 3:43Google's local [music] three-pack will
  108. 3:45recommend 35.9%
  109. 3:47of locations. ChatGPT will recommend
  110. 3:501.2. AI is roughly 30 times more
  111. 3:54selective and [music] fewer than half
  112. 3:56the brands winning traditional local
  113. 3:58search show up in AI recommendations at
  114. 4:01all. Or in other words, your rankings
  115. 4:04are not transferable. So, if you're
  116. 4:06sitting below 4.0 with a bad response
  117. 4:09rate, [music] close this video right
  118. 4:11now. No agent I build is going to fix
  119. 4:13that.
  120. 4:15Only better services do. I'd rather tell
  121. 4:17you that honestly up front before you
  122. 4:19spend the time to watch the rest of this
  123. 4:21video. Finding number three, volume
  124. 4:23beats perfection. Uberall ran five
  125. 4:26studies across five verticals, [music]
  126. 4:27five frontier models, and 120,000 plus
  127. 4:31mentions. Review volume predicts AI
  128. 4:34mentions better than star rating in most
  129. 4:36categories. A practice with 1,500
  130. 4:38reviews at 4.4 is going to beat one with
  131. 4:4220 reviews at 4.7. And here's the single
  132. 4:45biggest measured lift in that entire
  133. 4:47data set. Restaurants on zero review
  134. 4:49platforms beyond Google saw a 51.2%
  135. 4:53mention rate. At four platforms, that's
  136. 4:5589.6. Now, one more from a subreddit
  137. 4:58thread called the local SEO. A pizzeria
  138. 5:01>> [music]
  139. 5:01>> with 4.7 stars, thousands of ratings,
  140. 5:04ranked number two in the Google map
  141. 5:06pack, completely ignored by every LLM
  142. 5:09for the term best pizza near me. So, the
  143. 5:13competitor that's going to win has lower
  144. 5:15reviews and lower ratings. The
  145. 5:17difference is difference is that the
  146. 5:19client's reviews say great [music]
  147. 5:21pizza. The competitor's reviews are
  148. 5:23paragraphs about the wood-fired crust
  149. 5:26and the staff. [music] What does this
  150. 5:27mean? You see, a star rating is nothing
  151. 5:30except a number. A model is going to
  152. 5:32need evidence that it can quote. Detail,
  153. 5:34volume, spread, response. Those four
  154. 5:37things alone are the job entirely. Now,
  155. 5:39>> [music]
  156. 5:40>> watch me as I hand them to seven
  157. 5:41different GrokBot agents. Now, one quick
  158. 5:44note on the tool and then we're going to
  159. 5:45build. I [music] picked Rockbot for
  160. 5:47three reasons, and none of them are that
  161. 5:50it's the smartest model. One, every bot
  162. 5:52gets its own cloud [music] computer.
  163. 5:54That matters here more than almost any
  164. 5:56other use case because this work is all
  165. 5:59third-party platforms, Yelp,
  166. 6:01Trustpilot's directories, and Reddit. I
  167. 6:04do not want one mega agent holding my
  168. 6:06logins to every platform I touch. Each
  169. 6:09bot logs into its own accounts on its
  170. 6:11own machine. Two, agent-to-agent
  171. 6:14delegation is on by default. This
  172. 6:16workflow has real hand-offs. Something
  173. 6:19finds a complaint, something else has to
  174. 6:21respond to it, and something else has to
  175. 6:23log it. Now, that is a team, not a
  176. 6:25prompt. Three distinct routines.
  177. 6:28Profound found that the average Reddit
  178. 6:30post cited by AI in 2025 was posted
  179. 6:33roughly a year earlier.
  180. 6:36>> [music]
  181. 6:37>> 4% date from 2019 or earlier. Old
  182. 6:40threads outlive the platforms that they
  183. 6:42describe. [music]
  184. 6:43So, this is not a one-time audit. You
  185. 6:45see, it has to run forever, which means
  186. 6:47it has to run without me. And right now,
  187. 6:50it's only $20 a month. Now, hold that
  188. 6:52number for now because I'm going to be
  189. 6:54comparing it to something else later in
  190. 6:56this video. Okay. Seven bots. [music]
  191. 6:59I'm going to give you the exact name,
  192. 7:01the job, the exact description I wrote,
  193. 7:03and the routine. Now, please, steal all
  194. 7:06of it. Bot number one,
  195. 7:07>> [music]
  196. 7:07>> Marlow, chief of staff. The first bot is
  197. 7:10the delegator. Everything runs through
  198. 7:12him, so I'm not scrolling [music] a
  199. 7:13sidebar of 12 agents trying to remember
  200. 7:16who does what. The description that I
  201. 7:18use, you are Marlow, chief of staff for
  202. 7:21an AI visibility operation. Before any
  203. 7:23task, check whether another bot owns it
  204. 7:26and delegate first. Only do the work
  205. 7:27yourself if no one specializes in it.
  206. 7:30Bring results back here. The mission is
  207. 7:32a single number. How often this brand
  208. 7:35gets cited across ChatGPT, Perplexity,
  209. 7:38Gemini, and Google AI overviews on a
  210. 7:41fixed prompt set. Every bot you manage
  211. 7:44exists to move that number. Give it a
  212. 7:46human name.
  213. 7:50It might sound silly. It is not. You
  214. 7:52will interact with a thing called
  215. 7:53Marlowe more than you will interact with
  216. 7:55a thing called Chief of Staff. And
  217. 7:57interaction is what makes these systems
  218. 7:58[music] get good. Bot two, Iris, the
  219. 8:01diagnostic. This is the cheapest
  220. 8:03high-value bot in the system. And most
  221. 8:06brands have literally never done what it
  222. 8:08does. Iris runs a fixed prompt set and
  223. 8:11that consists of 20 to 50 different
  224. 8:13queries, the same ones every time, split
  225. 8:15into three buckets, [music] and the
  226. 8:17split matters. The first prompt is
  227. 8:19branded prompts. What do people think
  228. 8:21about brand?
  229. 8:22>> [music]
  230. 8:22>> The next one is unbranded prompts. So,
  231. 8:25best insert category in insert city.
  232. 8:28[music] And then, comparison prompts,
  233. 8:30insert brand versus insert competitor.
  234. 8:32That split comes from a production data
  235. 8:34paper on arXiv tracking 102 different
  236. 8:38brands. And I'll be honest with you, I
  237. 8:40don't know if arXiv is how you actually
  238. 8:42pronounce that. So, [music] feel free to
  239. 8:44call me out on that one. Branded prompt
  240. 8:45recognition though is 94.2%
  241. 8:48on ChatGPT. Unbranded drops to 22.1%.
  242. 8:52You see, models know when you're named.
  243. 8:55They almost never volunteer you when
  244. 8:57you're not. And by prompt category, and
  245. 9:00that category is brutal. Comparison
  246. 9:02prompts surface brands at 74.6%
  247. 9:05of the time. Problem and solution
  248. 9:07prompts, 10.8%. The routine,
  249. 9:10every [music] 2 weeks, not daily. AI
  250. 9:12responses are non-deterministic.
  251. 9:15The same query produces different
  252. 9:17results 10 minutes apart.
  253. 9:20So, daily readings are nothing more than
  254. 9:21noise. Iris is responsible for logging
  255. 9:24raw counts and dates. This month, your
  256. 9:26brand appeared in 47 of 120 test [music]
  257. 9:29queries, up from 31. Now, that is honest
  258. 9:32reporting. The quote AI visibility
  259. 9:34increased 31.4%
  260. 9:36is nothing [music] more than theater,
  261. 9:38and any vendor showing you AI search
  262. 9:40volume or AI keyword difficulty invented
  263. 9:43those men
  264. 9:45invented those metrics. That is the
  265. 9:46whole diagnostic. 10 minutes of setup,
  266. 9:49and most brands have never even run it
  267. 9:51once. Bot three, Hollis.
  268. 9:54The crawl auditor. This is a boring bot,
  269. 9:56but it has the highest ROI hour [music]
  270. 9:58in the entire build. Cyrus Shepard's
  271. 10:00meta-analysis scored 23 factors across
  272. 10:0354 studies. [music] Number one was not
  273. 10:06content or links. It was URL
  274. 10:08accessibility. If the bot can't fetch
  275. 10:10and preview the page,
  276. 10:12>> [music]
  277. 10:12>> nothing else matters. Hollis is
  278. 10:14responsible for checking robots.txt
  279. 10:16files, CDN rules,
  280. 10:19and WAF [music] for CPT bot, chat, CPT
  281. 10:22user, quad bot, Perplexity bot, and
  282. 10:25Google [music] extended. Then, it reads
  283. 10:27server logs to confirm they're actually
  284. 10:29fetching. This is important because a
  285. 10:31permissive robots.txt file with a
  286. 10:34blocking WAF is the most common silent
  287. 10:37failure I found. Now, if you don't know
  288. 10:39what WAF stands for, that's okay. I
  289. 10:41didn't either.
  290. 10:43But, it means web application firewall,
  291. 10:45and Hollis is explicitly [music]
  292. 10:47instructed not to touch LLM text files.
  293. 10:50Ahrefs, the tool that I use, analyzed
  294. 10:52137,000
  295. 10:54different sites.
  296. 10:5697%
  297. 10:58of LLM text files received zero requests
  298. 11:01in a month. Zero AI bots went looking
  299. 11:04for files that didn't exist. Google's
  300. 11:06Google's very own documentation says
  301. 11:09they don't [music] use them. Shepard
  302. 11:10scored it 2.0 out of 10.
  303. 11:13Dead last of [music] 23 factors. You can
  304. 11:16publish one in 5 minutes if you want,
  305. 11:18but never put it on an invoice. Bot
  306. 11:20four, the listing accuracy bot. Synci
  307. 11:22found [music] business profile accuracy
  308. 11:24is 68% on ChatGPT and Perplexity versus
  309. 11:29100% on Gemini, [music]
  310. 11:31which is grounded directly in Google
  311. 11:33Maps. Their read is that this gap
  312. 11:36explains [music] most of why Gemini
  313. 11:39recommends local businesses nearly 10
  314. 11:42times more often. Inconsistency does not
  315. 11:44demote you. It simply makes the model
  316. 11:46lose confidence. Hours, addresses,
  317. 11:49phones, categories. Vera is going to
  318. 11:52check every surface weekly [music] and
  319. 11:54flag any drift. This alone is the
  320. 11:56cheapest category and almost nobody ever
  321. 11:59makes it. Bot five, Ansel, the review
  322. 12:02engine. This is the one that moves the
  323. 12:04gate. Three different jobs. Job one,
  324. 12:08response coverage. Response rate is an
  325. 12:10explicit signal in the SoCi data set.
  326. 12:12Ansel drafts a reply to every review,
  327. 12:14especially the bad ones. Then, it drops
  328. 12:17it into a queue for me. Most
  329. 12:19importantly, it never [music] sends. A
  330. 12:21public "We fixed this in Q4. Here's what
  331. 12:24changed." gives the model newer evidence
  332. 12:27to weigh against an old complaint. And
  333. 12:29remember, [music]
  334. 12:30cited posts average a year old. Job two,
  335. 12:33detail extraction. Ansel writes the
  336. 12:35review request prompt, not "Please leave
  337. 12:37us a review." It asks the customer to
  338. 12:40name what they [music] bought, where,
  339. 12:42and what specifically happened. That's
  340. 12:44the pizzeria lesson, and it's free. Job
  341. 12:46three,
  342. 12:47>> [music]
  343. 12:47>> platform spread. Ansel tracks which
  344. 12:49platforms have coverage and which ones
  345. 12:51don't. And it's going to drive toward
  346. 12:54forward beyond Google. Yelp [music] at
  347. 12:561,000 plus reviews hit a 93.3% mention
  348. 12:59rate for restaurants. Grocery at 500
  349. 13:02plus hit a whopping 100%. OpenAI
  350. 13:05licensed Yelp's [music] 330 million
  351. 13:07reviews in July of 2026, so that pipe is
  352. 13:11now direct. Bot six, Quill, [music]
  353. 13:14the crawlable proof bot. Now, here is
  354. 13:16the mechanism that most people miss
  355. 13:18entirely. While it might hurt to hear
  356. 13:19this, AI does not review your Google
  357. 13:22reviews. Star ratings in Maps data load
  358. 13:25via JavaScript and are largely invisible
  359. 13:27to AI crawlers. Reviews reach the models
  360. 13:30when they get quoted or referenced on
  361. 13:31crawlable third-party pages. So, Quill
  362. 13:34builds one page on your site. Ratings,
  363. 13:36dated review excerpts, plain HTML in the
  364. 13:39main content, not schema, not
  365. 13:42JavaScript. You see, if it isn't
  366. 13:43crawlable, it doesn't count. Quill's
  367. 13:45second job is comparison and alternative
  368. 13:48assets. Go back to that 74.6% versus
  369. 13:51[music] 10.8% number. If you have no X
  370. 13:54verse Y page and no alternatives to X
  371. 13:57page, you are absent from the single
  372. 13:59[music] prompt category that actually
  373. 14:01brands mention. Quill builds and

  396. 15:01the sentiment watch. This is the last
  397. 15:03bot and the reason the whole system has
  398. 15:05to exist forever. Profound from over 4
  399. 15:08billion [music] tracked citations.
  400. 15:09Positive brand sentiment on Reddit is
  401. 15:11cited 5% of the time. Negative sentiment
  402. 15:14at 6.1%. Models are not filtering for
  403. 15:17constructive feedback. Complaints are
  404. 15:19going to surface at a slightly higher
  405. 15:21rate than complements from threads
  406. 15:24averaging a year old. Sable watches for
  407. 15:27new negative third-party threads and
  408. 15:29pings me within hours,
  409. 15:31>> [music]
  410. 15:31>> not weeks.
  411. 15:36>> [music]
  412. 15:38>> Because complaint you answer on day one
  413. 15:41is a different artifact than a complaint
  414. 15:44that sits for a year and then gets
  415. 15:45quoted back to your prospect by ChatGPT.
  416. 15:48And here is the line I hardcoded. Sable
  417. 15:51does not post. It simply surfaces and
  418. 15:53drafts. I always end up deciding because
  419. 15:56manufactured mentions are the fastest
  420. 15:58way to lose the channel that still pays
  421. 16:01your bills. Google's own guidance says
  422. 16:03seeking inauthentic mentions isn't as
  423. 16:06helpful as it might seem and that their
  424. 16:08spam systems intentionally block it. The
  425. 16:11risk is asymmetric. If it works, some
  426. 16:13modest lift on some engines. If it
  427. 16:15fails, you're in scaled content abuse
  428. 16:18territory on the engine driving most of
  429. 16:20your revenue. And even if you ignore the
  430. 16:22ethics, look at the channel stability.
  431. 16:25When Reddit sued Perplexity in October
  432. 16:272025, Perplexity's Reddit citation share
  433. 16:30dropped 86% almost immediately. Reddit's
  434. 16:33overall AI citation share fell 50%
  435. 16:36between October and January. A channel
  436. 16:39that can lose can lose 86% of its value
  437. 16:42in four days because of a lawsuit is a
  438. 16:45dependency, not a strategy. Seven bots,
  439. 16:48$20 [music] a month. For comparison, the
  440. 16:50most upvoted honest pricing breakdown I
  441. 16:52found in the subreddit [music] thread AI
  442. 16:54Search Lab puts content and technical
  443. 16:57AEO at $2,000 to $5,000 a month. Genuine
  444. 17:01digital PR at $5,000 to $12,000 and real
  445. 17:05monitoring at $2,000 [music] to $4,000.
  446. 17:08Now the honest part. Because you guys
  447. 17:10have been so generous giving me your
  448. 17:12time to watch this video, I'm not going
  449. 17:14to spend the last little bit of time in
  450. 17:15this video over selling anything. These
  451. 17:18agents handle crawlability, accuracy,
  452. 17:20response coverage, review detail,
  453. 17:23platform spread, crawlable proof,
  454. 17:25>> [music]
  455. 17:25>> comparison assets, and sentiment
  456. 17:27monitoring. That is a real amount of
  457. 17:29work, and it's an amount of work that at
  458. 17:31places I've worked that specialize in
  459. 17:33this very topic charge as much as
  460. 17:36$50,000 a month on retainer. But, what
  461. 17:39they will not do is lift you over a 4.0.
  462. 17:41One genuinely bad quarter of customer
  463. 17:44experience
  464. 17:45drops you below the threshold that
  465. 17:47decides whether you're eligible to be
  466. 17:49recommended at all. No amount of
  467. 17:51optimization will ever bring you back
  468. 17:53over it. So, the way I look at it is you
  469. 17:55can either spend $20 a month or as much
  470. 17:57as $50,000 a month, and it will not
  471. 18:00matter. Stated in the caveats on my own
  472. 18:02research, stated plainly, most of this
  473. 18:04is local business data. So See and
  474. 18:07Uberall study multi-location brands, so
  475. 18:09the threshold effect is best evidenced
  476. 18:11there. And B2B SaaS almost certainly
  477. 18:15behaves differently. Now, everything I
  478. 18:17quoted is correlation, not causation. No
  479. 18:20engine has confirmed a cutoff. And
  480. 18:21nearly every study in this space is
  481. 18:24vendor funded, including the ones I
  482. 18:27used. The AppSumo scrape is the
  483. 18:29exception, and it's a proxy for sales,
  484. 18:32not sales data. So, here's what I
  485. 18:34learned. Everyone is selling a
  486. 18:36measurement of a thing that you
  487. 18:38ultimately fix with your own work. The
  488. 18:4033 tool category isn't failing because
  489. 18:43their founders are bad. It's failing
  490. 18:45because the whole space is selling you a
  491. 18:47measurement of something [music] you fix
  492. 18:50with product quality, customer
  493. 18:52experience, and PR. And perhaps what I
  494. 18:54find most interesting is that the
  495. 18:56AppSumo is that the AppSumo customer
  496. 18:58figured this out before venture [music]
  497. 19:00capital did. You see, venture capital is
  498. 19:02far removed from the day-to-day customer
  499. 19:04sentiment and operations. [music] I
  500. 19:06think the most elegant way to sum all of
  501. 19:08this up is with a typical Horschults
  502. 19:10quote. Customers ultimately want three
  503. 19:12things: a product or service with zero
  504. 19:15defects, they want timeliness, and most
  505. 19:18importantly, they want to be treated
  506. 19:21nicely. If your business doesn't
  507. 19:22accomplish those three things, no amount
  508. 19:24of technical strategy is going to fix
  509. 19:27this issue for you. What I built is not
  510. 19:29smarter than profound. It's just pointed
  511. 19:31at the [music] work and not the
  512. 19:32dashboard." Or said another way, it's
  513. 19:35focused on making the customer happy.
  514. 19:37After all, they're paying your salary.
  515. 19:39So, that's it right there. Seven bots,
  516. 19:41$20, all working while you sleep. If you
  517. 19:44want the exact bot descriptions, the
  518. 19:46routines, and the 30-prompt [music]
  519. 19:48diagnostic set that Iris runs, it's all
  520. 19:50linked below in the description. And I
  521. 19:51promise you, you don't have to pay for a
  522. 19:53school community, and you don't even
  523. 19:55have to give me your email address. That
  524. 19:57is my thank you for watching this video.
  525. 19:59All I ask is maybe giving me a like, or
  526. 20:01if you didn't like it and have
  527. 20:02constructive feedback, feel free to
  528. 20:03leave a comment. I'm always trying to
  529. 20:04improve. I just want you to actually run
  530. 20:06the diagnostic set because most brands
  531. 20:09never do. Now, if there's one thing you
  532. 20:10do from this video, make it the
  533. 20:1210-minute one. Open ChatGPT, Perplexity,
  534. 20:15[music] and Google AI mode right now.
  535. 20:16Simply type, "What do people think about
  536. 20:18my brand?" and "What do people think
  537. 20:20about my category?" That costs nothing,
  538. 20:21[music]
  539. 20:22and it's the entire category in a
  540. 20:23nutshell. One quick story. A company
  541. 20:25that I used to work at, which does over
  542. 20:27a billion dollars in annual revenue, and
  543. 20:29has been around for over 30 years, never
  544. 20:31had a warranty policy. Never had a
  545. 20:33refund policy. And the executive team
  546. 20:35knew that they could get away with it.
  547. 20:37And for the longest time, they didn't
  548. 20:39really care about customer reviews
  549. 20:40because they didn't really put much
  550. 20:42emphasis on SEO. But now that AEO is
  551. 20:46what shows up first, you better believe
  552. 20:48they're paying the price. Now, you can
  553. 20:49just imagine what they're going through
  554. 20:51now. Never ever forget,
  555. 20:54the person paying your salary is
  556. 20:56ultimately the customer. And I dare say
  557. 20:57it's unethical to discount that. But I
  558. 20:59think that's all I got for now, guys.
  559. 21:00Subscribe if you want to keep hearing
  560. 21:01from me. As a small YouTube channel, I
  561. 21:03really appreciate you, and I always
  562. 21:05will. I hope you guys have a great rest
  563. 21:06of your day. Cheers.
