In this episode of E-Coffee with Experts, Jared Falkner, VP at Vive Marketing, joins us to talk about what’s actually working in SEO for manufacturing companies right now, even with AI search, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews changing the game.


Jared explains why companies that consistently publish case studies, pillar pages, and helpful technical content are seeing stronger visibility and better leads than those still relying only on referrals or old-school relationships. He also breaks down why strategies like GEO, AEO, and AI visibility still depend on solid SEO fundamentals, not shortcuts or shiny tools.


We also talk about:


- When to choose SEO vs PPC in manufacturing

- How AI search is changing buyer research behavior

- Content strategies that build authority and rankings

- Ways to improve visibility inside LLM platforms

- How to measure SEO success beyond just clicks

- Why strong SEO basics still matter more than ever


If you're a founder, marketing leader, or SEO professional working in B2B or industrial industries, this episode covers practical ways to grow organic visibility, show up in AI-driven search results, and understand performance in today’s zero-click search environment.
