This week’s guest is Michael Fleischner, Founder & CEO of Big Fin SEO and a Generative Engine Optimization Strategist, with more than 20 years of experience across SEO, digital marketing, search visibility, and business growth.

Michael’s current work focuses heavily on GEO and AI search visibility, helping businesses understand how to become more visible across platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity.

The conversation explores The Invisible Score AI Gives Every Brand and how AI systems understand, evaluate, and surface brands beyond traditional search rankings.

We’ll discuss Generative Engine Optimization, AI search, brand authority, brand signals, reputation, content, online presence, citations, mentions, AI recommendations, and how businesses can build stronger visibility in AI-driven search.

The conversation will also cover why ranking on Google is no longer the whole story, what makes AI recognize one brand as more relevant or authoritative than another, how businesses can measure GEO performance, and the biggest mistakes brands are making as they adapt to AI search.

Join the conversation and drop your biggest GEO, AI search, SEO, or brand visibility question in the comments.

How to Implement Profit First Through Accounts, Automation, and Rhythm

During a recent episode of Agency & Brand Growth Weekly Live, Hamid Mahmood, asked Brandon Neely how business owners could put Profit First into practice, from using separate bank accounts to allocating money into different buckets.

Brandon discussed banking tools such as Relay that can automate allocations as money comes in. He explained that the right schedule depends on how frequently a business receives payments.

He also emphasized the value of a good bookkeeper who understands the process and can provide current financial data.

When Hamid asked about marketing agencies handling multiple transactions every day, Brandon highlighted the 10th and 25th of the month as potential budgeting days.

His message was to establish a consistent rhythm without spending all day managing allocations.

For agency owners and business leaders, the conversation offered a practical look at accounts, automation, bookkeeping, and building a regular cash management routine.

Save this as a reminder to build a financial rhythm that fits your business.

What Does It Mean to Put Profit First in Your Business?

During a recent episode of Agency & Brand Growth Weekly Live, Hamid Mahmood asked Brandon Neely to explain Profit First and what it means for business owners.

Hamid also shared his own experience with cash flow mistakes and money that could have been used to build personal wealth or grow the business.

Brandon explained that Profit First was an order of operations. Put profit first, then work backward to structure the business and its cash flow around that priority.

He compared it to investing. People expect a return when they invest their money, yet business owners are often told they do not need to pay themselves and can keep using credit cards to fund the business.

He challenged that thinking and emphasized that owners needed to take care of themselves physically, mentally, and profitably.

One line captured his message clearly. “Profit is not a bad word.”

Building a strong business includes making sure it supports the person building it.

Save this as a reminder to make profitability part of how you run your business.

What Outdated Ecommerce Tactics Should Brands Stop Using Today?

During a recent episode of Agency & Brand Growth Weekly Live, Hamid Mahmood asked Umer Hadeed what ecommerce brands and marketers needed to rethink about the techniques they were still using from five or ten years ago.

He answered by highlighting how businesses approached AI and whether they were willing to make it part of their daily operations.

Umer said AI had evolved from a tool into an ecosystem. He explained that businesses needed to add an intelligent layer across their operations, including media buying, production, shipping, and customer service.

He also emphasized that business fundamentals still mattered. Capital, media, brand reputation, and sound decision making remained valuable, with AI offering another way to strengthen them.

One point stood out: deciding what not to do could be one of the most valuable decisions a business owner makes.

For ecommerce brands and marketers, the conversation offered a practical reminder to reassess familiar tactics and understand where AI could support their business.
