Brief summary of the show
AI search is changing how potential clients discover attorneys and professional service providers. In this episode, Andrew Colsky talks with Adrian Nikolov of Haide Digital about how SEO, GEO, AEO, entity optimization, and AI automation are changing the way businesses build online authority.
With nearly 18 years of experience in SEO and digital marketing, Adrian explains why traditional keyword-focused SEO is no longer enough and why consistency, credibility, topical authority, and strong brand signals matter in AI-driven search.
For attorneys and law firms, the takeaway is clear: being found by AI requires more than ranking for keywords. Your firm needs a consistent, credible, and connected online presence that clearly demonstrates who you are, what you do, and why you should be trusted.
