Tommy Landry: AI-Driven Discoverability—How to get seen by AI, AEO/AIO, GEO

Tommy Landry, Founder of Return On Now and recognized expert in AI-driven discoverability, with deep specialization in SEO, AEO/AIO, and GEO and more than 25 years of digital marketing experience. He helps brands understand how visibility actually works in the AI era—where being cited, recommended, and trusted by AI systems matters more than traditional rankings.
He is the author of From SEO to AEO to GEO: The New Rules of Search in the Age of AI, (Amazon) a practical guide to how search, answer engines, and generative AI now work together to determine which brands get seen. His work focuses on helping companies earn presence inside Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Bing Copilot, and other LLM-powered platforms by building the authority signals AI models prioritize.

In this session, AI-Driven Discoverability for Marketers in 2026, Tommy delivers a clear, marketing-friendly breakdown of how AI, AEO/AIO, GEO, and SEO now intersect. Attendees will learn how AI reshapes early-stage buying behavior, what LLMs look for when selecting sources, and how to position their content, websites, and LinkedIn profiles to be chosen by AI—not buried in search results.
