Episode 237: Need more Leads and Traffic in your business? This will help: https://join.digitaltrailblazer.com/visibility-lab Most SEO advice still treats backlinks like the finish line - but with AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity now reshaping how customers find businesses, chasing links the old way is leaving course creators, coaches, and agency owners invisible where it counts. In this episode, Aashish Khakhar teaches us how to earn the kind of visibility that both Google and AI tools actually reward. He breaks down why "unlinked mentions" can matter as much as backlinks, how a lesser-known piece of website code connects your brand's authority across the web, and the outreach strategy that's replaced pay-for-link tactics as the real differentiator — plus how to turn a single idea into ongoing coverage instead of a one-and-done win.
