The Biggest Change Coming to AI Search in 2027
Your customers are asking ChatGPT which brands to buy from right now. But can you actually prove when AI Search is recommending you, and how much revenue it's driving?For most marketers, the honest answer is no. AI answers change constantly, analytics only shows a fraction of the traffic, and Google lumps AI Overviews in with regular organic search.In this video, I show you how to measure your

Dark Traffic: The Hidden Impact of AI Search
Your Direct channel in GA4 has probably been growing for two years, and people typing in your URL isn't the whole story.It's where your dark traffic lands: the demand that your business is creating that isn't easily attributed to where it actually came from. In this executive briefing, Charlie Marchant (CEO of Exposure Ninja) covers:What dark traffic actually is, and why AI Search and
Does AI Traffic Really Convert Better? We Checked
Traffic from ChatGPT converts 9x better than Google. Or is it 42% better? Or 11 times better? Everyone says AI Search traffic is more valuable than traditional search traffic.

How to Scale Digital Marketing (Without Increasing Ad Spend)
Most businesses hit a wall with lead generation and assume the only fix is spending more — bigger ad budgets, more channels, higher bids. But that just pushes your acquisition costs up until growth becomes unsustainable.There are three other ways to increase conversions and lead quality before you touch your ad spend, and in this video, I break down all three with real client results.What I cover:
Why AI Search Is Rewriting the Buyer Journey
The buyer journey you've been designing for doesn't exist anymore.For 20 years, the model was simple: drive traffic (paid or organic) to your website, and that's where people learn about you and decide to buy. But with ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews now doing the research for your buyers, that assumption is breaking down. In fact, one senior marketer at a gl
How To Get ChatGPT to Recommend Your B2B Business
"Is this AI Search visibility thing even relevant for B2B?"That's the question our CEO, Charlie Marchant, got asked by the audience at eCommerce Scotland. It's a fair one, too, because most AI Search examples you see are consumer-focused.

Distinctive Thought Leadership Wins in AI Search

Why You’re Not Getting Enough Leads From Search
Google isn't sending you the traffic it used to, and it's not because your product got worse, your sales team got worse, or demand disappeared.AI Overviews and AI Search tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity are rewriting how people research and buy, and if you're only optimising for traditional search, you're already behind.Here's what I cover:Why AI Overviews cut clicks
