Workshop: How AI is changing how customers find you

How AI is changing how customers find you

AI is already changing how businesses are discovered online. Search is evolving, customer behaviour is shifting, and many companies are starting to notice that what used to work for visibility and lead generation isn’t as reliable as it once was.

In this practical 2-hour workshop, James Smith and Andrew Newman of WebXC will explore how AI is reshaping search, online visibility and decision-making, and what this means for businesses right now.
The session is designed for business owners, leaders and marketers who want a clear, accessible understanding of what’s changing and what actions are worth considering, without needing to be technical experts.

The workshop will focus on real-world implications, examples and practical guidance that attendees can take away and apply to their own organisations.

What you’ll learn
● How AI is changing search and online discovery

● Why some businesses are becoming less visible without realising it

● What this means for your website, content and digital presence

● Common misconceptions about AI and search

● Practical steps businesses can start thinking about now

Who should attend
This workshop is suited to:
● Business owners and directors

● Senior managers and leaders

● Marketing and communications managers

● Anyone responsible for generating leads or online visibility

No technical or AI background is required.
