Chocolate Pill: Practical Marketing Strategies for Every Stage of Business

AI is rewriting the rules of search—and your SEO plan. Erin, Chris, and Sandi break down what’s changing (AI Overviews, LLM-driven answers, Gen Z searching on TikTok/YouTube), why over-relying on Google is risky, and how to rebuild a durable strategy. We cover intent-led content, the 7-11-4 framework for multi-channel engagement, using video as a repurposing engine, and the technical basics (schema, crawl efficiency, programmatic pages) that help you get discovered—and cited—by large language models. Plus: how to protect your brand voice in an AI world and a quick exercise to audit how LLMs describe your company vs. competitors. If you’ve wondered how AI and SEO actually fit together, this is your field guide.
