Is ChatGPT really deciding who gets recommended, or is it just Googling for your customers? In this episode, Tyler Henn, founder of Hen House Digital Growth Studio, explains how to get ChatGPT to recommend your business, and why the “AI is all-powerful” story is costing small firms time and money.

If you’re a lawyer, solo practitioner, accountant, therapist or other professional service provider, the firm that gets recommended may not be the one posting the most. Your competitor could be getting picked right now while you wait for a magic fix.

Inside this conversation:

• Why ChatGPT works like a “glorified Googler” through query fan-out, and what that means for being found
• The Google Business Profile steps most owners skip, including why answering “no” beats leaving a question blank
• Review velocity: why a steady stream of recent reviews can beat a bigger pile of old ones, and how to ask for reviews that actually describe your work
• How a brand-new company reached the top six of about 3,300 competitors by owning a niche that nobody else was talking about
• Why podcasts, speaking and third-party mentions are credibility signals AI can find
• Why “AI will post everything for you” is a trap, and the real hack: be excellent, stay consistent, and make it right when you mess up

Don’t wait until a competitor takes the recommendation you should have had. Watch or listen now, then take the free 20-question AIthority Quotient assessment to see your own strengths and weaknesses.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why keyword-only SEO is losing ground to conversational AI search

Most professional service providers are trying to market in the dark — and Stephan Bajaio shows why the fix is not a prettier website, but a smarter one.

If you run a law firm, solo practice, or small firm and you want people to actually find you, trust you, and pick you, this conversation gives you the playbook.

Andrew Colsky sits down with Stephan Bajaio, CEO and co-founder of VibeLogic, to unpack the visibility mistakes that keep great professionals invisible online.

Stephan brings 10,000-plus hours of SEO and content strategy experience from helping some of the world's biggest brands, and he explains why that expertise now matters even more for smaller firms that cannot afford wasted effort.

You'll discover why your website should act like a digital storefront, not a static brochure, and why a single bullet point is never enough when a potential client is searching for something specific like grief counseling, EMDR, tooth pain, or unbreakable wine glasses. Stephan breaks down the difference between jargon and the language your clients actually use, and why that gap is costing you leads before they ever reach your office.

We also get into the biggest questions around law firm internet marketing and professional services marketing:

• Why SEO, GEO, AEO, and the latest acronym soup matter less than clarity and authority

• How to build content that works before, during, and after the sale

• Why your bio page, video, and blog posts are not optional if you are the product

• How to use one podcast, transcript, or article in multiple places to build trust and reach more people

• Why AI can help you scale content, but cannot replace meaningful human insight

Stephan also shares the mindset shift that changes everything: stop thinking in funnels and start thinking in lifecycle value. Your best clients, your reviews, your referrals, and your repeat business all come from the same place — proving your expertise in a way that helps people before they ever hire you.

If you are looking for small law firm marketing tips, digital marketing for law firms, or simply a better way to turn your expertise into visibility, this episode is essential listening. It is sharp, practical, and packed with ideas you can use immediately to build authority, attract better clients, and stop hiding your best work in one lonely corner of the internet.

AI Is Changing Who Gets Found, Recommended, and Remembered

In this episode, Andrew Colsky talks with David Wilson, EVP of Digital Marketing and Analytics at Zosimus, about how AI is changing search, visibility, and marketing for professional service businesses.

As people move beyond traditional Google searches and start asking AI for specific, local, high-intent recommendations, old-school SEO alone is no longer enough. Businesses need to become clear, credible, and useful sources of information that both people and AI can understand.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why AI search is changing how professional services get discovered
• How prompt research is becoming as important as keyword research
• How to create content that AI can understand, trust, and cite
• Why your website should become a source of truth
• Why question-and-answer content can improve visibility
• How SEO, AEO, and GEO work together in the AI search era
• Why your opening sentence matters more than ever
• How YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and your website can strengthen credibility
• Why consistency and scheduling matter when creating content
• Why local relevance is more valuable than vanity metrics
• How testimonials, staff videos, and community content can build trust
• How small professional practices can stand out from generic AI-generated content

David explains how professional service businesses can adapt to AI-driven search without abandoning the fundamentals of SEO.

The key is creating useful, authentic content that demonstrates real expertise and answers the questions your ideal clients are actually asking.

Instead of chasing millions of random views, businesses should focus on reaching the right people in their community—the people who are most likely to need, trust, and recommend their services.

For attorneys, dentists, and other local professional service businesses looking for law firm marketing, attorney SEO, AI search visibility, local marketing, or professional services marketing strategies, this episode provides a practical framework for becoming more visible, credible, and easier to choose.
