The Modern Growth Playbook: SEO + AI + Social = Sales

See what’s working for your competitors. Then let’s leverage SEO, AI, and social media to get found, attract customers, and grow sales.

Your customers are online. The question is: Are they finding you…or are they finding your competitors?

You don’t need a huge marketing budget or a complicated strategy to grow your business. You need to understand what’s working today and how to put the right tools to work for you.

In The Modern Growth Playbook, you’ll learn practical ways to combine Google search, AI, and social media to help more customers discover your business and turn that attention into sales.

We’ll also look at what your competitors are doing online, the keywords customers are using to find businesses like yours, and how you can use those insights to improve your own marketing.

This is a practical workshop designed for business owners who seek simplicity in marketing.

What You’ll Learn

  • Get Found on Google: Learn what customers are searching for, how search is changing because of AI, and simple ways to help your business appear when people are ready to buy.
  • See What Your Competitors Are Doing: Discover how to identify competitor keywords, content, and online strategies that may be helping them attract customers—and how to apply those lessons to your own business.
  • Put AI to Work for Your Business: Use AI to research your market, create content, improve your marketing, generate ideas, and save time without making your business sound like a robot.
  • Turn Social Media Into Sales: Move beyond likes and followers by creating content that builds trust, starts conversations, and gives potential customers a reason to contact or buy from you.
  • Connect It All: Learn how your website, Google presence, AI tools, reviews, social media, and content can work together to continuously bring more people into your business.

Come ready to work on your business, discover new opportunities, and leave with practical ideas you can start using immediately.
