Keynote Speaker

"Get Real Innovation" is about how to build a truly innovative company and why it's so incredibly hard.

Innovation is the main driver of business success today. What do the most innovative companies like Google, Amazon, Tesla and many startups have in common? What methods do they use? How can you be successful, too? And what, in practice, has proven to be a mistake?

Using real, short, concise & practical examples based on more than 15 years of practical experience in innovation development, Lars helps his readers discuss these questions and find answers.

//CEO@GRANNY&SMITH, DE-RISKING INNOLAB FOR THE MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES

//THE DAY EVERYTHING CHANGED

It happened during a corporate innovation workshop years ago. As I watched yet another brilliant idea suffocate under the weight of process, I saw the spark fade from the team's eyes. In that moment, I made a promise to myself that would reshape my entire career.

THE PATTERN I COULDN'T UNSEE

Across boardrooms and brainstorming sessions, I witnessed the same story unfold. Brilliant minds with transformative visions hitting the same invisible wall. Their ideas deserved better.

THE UNEXPECTED DISCOVERY

What began as frustration evolved into curiosity. Could innovation success actually be engineered rather than hoped for? I devoted myself to finding out.

Years of experimentation led to an approach so counterintuitive yet effective that it changed everything. By building innovations like a portfolio of startups, we turned the notorious 90% failure rate completely upside down.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT

A prominent German corporation took a chance on this method when traditional approaches had failed them repeatedly. Within weeks, we accomplished what they hadn't achieved in years. Word spread quickly.

Today, seven of Germany's nine most innovative companies have become our partners. From global enterprises to nimble startups, leaders come when they need certainty, not just possibility.

BEYOND THE METHOD

After over 15 years and countless successful market launches, I still feel that same rush when I see an innovation finally connect with its audience. There's simply nothing like watching something powerful emerge from what was once just an idea on a whiteboard.

My engineering background gave me the tools, but it was immersing myself in the human elements of innovation that revealed the true path forward. When leaders invite me to guide their most important initiatives, they're not just getting a process – they're gaining a partner who's navigated this terrain countless times before.

I only commit to journeys I truly believe in, because I've learned that extraordinary innovation requires both methodology and genuine connection to purpose.

The short life story 

I decided to skip the corporate job & start a digital marketing agency at 21. Here is the journey so far: 

Age 21: Bootstrapped Adjust Media at university making websites 
Age 22: Left Uni and rebranded to Verb Brands
Age 27: Acquired DBD Media Ltd, their 20 staff & expanded to digital marketing
Age 28: Won Bugatti & recognised as leading luxury agency
Age 30: Sell entirety of Verb Brands to Croud & LDC in an 8-figure deal
Age 31: Founded Lottie Org w/ Will Donnelly (Grow revenue to 8 figures, raise $35m & hire 100 people).
Age 32: Launch my Media, Education and Investment business
Age 33: Launched the Creator Accelerator and reached 8 figures in revenue
Age 34: Co Founded Searchable

It’s been a journey. 

Through Searchable.com I help founders and marketers to grow their organic traffic on auto pilot with our autonomous Seo and Aeo tool: searchable.com

Co-Founder

Found CRM by Lottie 

A cloud-based care home operation software, mapped and built specifically to the care and retirement industries unique customer journey and supports care homes with CRM, Occupancy, Administration and Finance

Found results in a higher conversion rate, better attribution of marketing spend, saved time and ultimately high occupancy.

You can build an AI agent in 10 minutes. 

But 99% of people will never attempt it: 

I've built multiple AI agents for Searchable, 
And I'm still shocked at how easy it is.  

If you can write a basic checklist, you can build an agent. 

One that will genuinely save you 100s of hours.

Here's exactly how to build one:

1. Pick One Boring Job

Choose one painful workflow you repeat weekly.

Define success in one sentence:
"Given X, the agent should output Y so that Z happens."

2. Map The Steps Like A SOP

Turn that job into 4 to 7 clear steps.
Write it as: Input → actions → decision → output.

3. Choose Your Agent Platform

Decide where this thing lives so you're not reinventing infrastructure.

No/low code: OpenAI Agent Builder, Zapier, Make, n8n
Dev friendly: LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, CrewAI

4. Define Inputs, Outputs, And Tools

Treat the agent like an API, not a vague chatbot.

Specify inputs: what fields are required (text, file, URL, ID)
Define outputs: JSON fields or a fixed template
Attach tools: data tools, action tools or orchestration tools

5. Give The Agent A Job Description

Write the brain with a clear system prompt:

- Role: "You are a [job title] focused on [task]"
- Boundaries: what it must never do
- Style: concise, structured
- 1-2 example conversations

6. Add Memory And Context

Stop the agent forgetting everything after each message.

Three layers:

- Conversation state: pass recent messages
- Task memory: store key decisions for the current run
- Knowledge memory: connect a vector store over your docs

7. Add Guardrails And Human Checks

Mark high-risk actions that need approval. 

Add simple rules:

- Never invent logins or IDs
- Ask for clarification when the brief is ambiguous
- Log every tool call and decision

8. Wrap It In A Simple Interface

Turn the agent into something people will actually use.
Options: internal chat, button in an existing app or Slack command

9. Test On 5 Real Tasks

Catch issues at the step level, not after it breaks something.

For each example:

- Watch which tools it called and in what order
- Score correctness, steps taken, and time saved
- Tighten the prompt, tools, or rules where it failed

Businesses adopting AI now will be too far ahead to catch later.

If you want to be one of them, you need to start automating your work. 

Founders who grow fastest aren't working hardest.
They're building systems that run without them.

This is what we're doing at Searchable.

We built an AI system that handles SEO and AEO automatically. 
It analyses your site, finds opportunities and optimises content.

Co Founder of Searchable.com | Follow for posts on Business, Marketing, Personal Brand & AI

100 days ago I had an idea.

An idea that I think could change marketing forever.

I have been obsessed with AI since ChatGPT came out and been obsessed with digital marketing since I was 16 when I built my first website.

I've Founded or Co Founded 5 of my own companies so far in my career.

- Two were small and faded but I learnt a lot
- Verb Brands was 10 years bootstrapped and I sold for 8 figures
- Lottie is a 9 figure business now, growing under Will Donnelly's leadership
- The Creator Accelerator generated nearly 8 figures of revenue in its 1st year

I went to work with Lovable and again just had my eyes opened even further to the possibilities of AI and technology.

Then this idea hit me and I knew I had to go all in.

100 days

I went to San Francisco and started networking. I knew I would need technical co-founders who were legitimately 0.01 engineers, who were hungry and who were passionate about the idea.

Met Sam Hogan & Arya Nagabhyru

They were both AI engineers building in the AI agent space at YC companies.

Decided to co found. Started building.

Jammed on the idea non stop and eventually landed on a massively improved version of what I had brought to them.

Day 90
- Changed the name from Clicker to Searchable
- YOLO'd it and bought searchable.com 

Day 80
- Decided that to be the company we wanted to be. We had to be in person and our culture had to compete with the fast paced cultures of San Francisco.

- Moved the guys over to the UK so we are shoulder to shoulder working every single day.

Day 70
- Tested our product with a closed list entrepreneurs
- Hired the incredible Nik Gospodinov as a founding engineer

Day 50
- Invested my own cash into the business
- Working with enterprises with our tool and supporting with white glove
- Brands receiving 200% increase in traffic from LLMs

Day 30
- Started a waitlist, reached 5000 people
- Opened a beta account and had 100 companies join
- Opened a community and had 800 people join

(the power of personal brand ay)

Day 10
- Hired a SEO expert product manager Ivan

Day... well today

I have always been a founder that has built in public.
Therefore I wanted to give it to you. Raw as we build.

The more powerful AI becomes...

The more valuable you are, if you adopt the right skills.

The rise of AI has proven it to be a powerful tool. 
Specifically for performing tasks that would normally take hours.  

But even at its most powerful, it's still not human. 

AI can handle technical tasks, but it can't replace human judgement. 
It cannot replace the ability to connect with others.
And it cannot replace adaptability.

The future belongs to those who take action and improve these 8 skills: 

1. Analytical Thinking
↳ The ability to break problems down and see what drives results.

Spend 15 minutes today working out why a result happened.
Review your last three business decisions and look for patterns. 

2. Emotional Intelligence
↳ Understanding your emotions and how you respond to others.

Before your next meeting, consider how each person might feel about the topic.
End the day by asking yourself: Did I listen more than I spoke?

3. Adaptability
↳ Adjusting quickly when things don't go to plan.

Do one thing this week that forces you out of your usual routine.
When plans alter, reframe the situation with: What's still in my control?

4. Social Influence
↳ Moving people towards a shared goal. 

Before every conversation, be clear on the outcome you want.
Influence through conviction and consistency rather than pressure.

5. Decision-Making
↳ Choosing quickly and standing by the result.

Give yourself a 1-minute limit for small decisions. 
When unsure, ask: What will future me thank me for doing today?

6. Discipline
↳ Doing the work long after motivation wears off.

Start your day with one task that moves your business forward.
Remove one thing from your schedule that adds no real value.

7. Curiosity
↳ Staying open, interested, and willing to learn from anyone.

Read something today outside your industry. 
Ask "why?" more often. Especially when things are going well.

8. Self-Awareness
↳ Knowing your strengths, limits, and blind spots.

Ask someone you trust what they think you could do better.
Reflect weekly: What strength can you lean into more?

Try some of these challenges to strengthen that skill.
One small step at a time.

AI has changed the way I hire and evaluate my team. 

For founders, I encourage you to seek hires with these skills. 
Employees with these will be more prepared as AI develops. 

For job seekers, ignoring these skills and chasing shortcuts will show.

Now is the time to understand where there's room for improvement. 
 
What's one skill that AI can't replace?

Failed change is rarely due to resistance.

It's because a proper framework wasn't used.

And a structured roadmap wasn't put in place.

That's where the ADKAR model by Jeff Hiatt comes into play.

It provides the structure and framework for effective change management.

Which, by the way, is critical to any business.
Without change, you don't evolve, and you get left in the dust.

This is how it works:

Awareness 👋
↳ Create an understanding of the objective.

Desire ✋
↳ Cultivate a personal drive to embrace change.

Knowledge 🧠
↳ Equip your team with the necessary understanding of a new system.

Ability 💪
↳ Empower individuals and teams with the capacity to enact change.

Reinforcement 🔄
↳ Strengthen the innovation introduced by the change process.

If you read the sheet, you'll find a breakdown of each stage.

And typically, the perceived value of the model is low to begin with.

But with time, people gain knowledge, ability, and they recognise the tangible value.

These are 3 best practices for ADKAR that I've picked up:

1. Lead from the front 🙋🏻‍♂️
Change doesn't start with a process.
It starts from the leader.

2. Make progress visible 🏔️
If people can see the impact...
That's what keeps them invested.

3. Reward behaviour, not outcomes 🏆
This builds a culture of genuine progressions.
Which leads to results !

And so, if you want change in a business, consider your approach.

The wrong one can cost time, money, and even relationships.
Now, my question to you:

Where will you apply this model to first in your business?

New software implementation?
An AI/Automation project?
Customer Experience transformation?

I'm curious to hear your responses.

If you want a structured roadmap for building your personal brand...

I'm running a free live masterclass on Tuesday, 25th November at 3 pm GMT. 

I'll be breaking down the exact system that's produced 100s of the world's fastest-growing LinkedIn creators.

- How to optimise your profile like a landing page
- The perfect post timing formula based on data
- The content formats driving the most growth right now
- The new comment strategy LinkedIn changed a few months ago (no one's noticed)

Plus we'll have a live Q&A for any burning questions.

SEO is not the full picture for businesses. 

In 2025, it's just a piece of the search puzzle. 

Ranking on Google is not the primary goal anymore.
The search volume inside LLMs is increasing day by day.

Which makes GEO/AEO/AIO/SXO an untapped goldmine for visibility.

I launched Searchable fully this week and hundreds of marketers have signed up.

People are already seeing incredible results, which is amazing to see.
(Like 200% increases in AI traffic in under a month)

So, if you want to dominate search in 2025 and beyond...
There's still plenty of time to be ahead of the curve.

Get going by learning these terms 👇

🧩 SEO: Search Engine Optimisation
↳ Ranking pages on Google through keywords and backlinks. 

✅ Pros: Proven traffic driver, builds long-term authority.
🚫 Cons: Competitive and slow to drive results.
🏆 Rank by targeting high-intent keywords clusters and refresh content.

🧩 GEO: Generative Engine Optimisation
↳ Optimising to be cited by AI engines like ChatGPT or Perplexity.

✅ Early-mover edge, builds trust, captures new channels.
🚫 Harder to measure a direct impact.
🏆 Rank with entity-rich content, forums, clear tables & FAQs.

🧩 AEO: Answer Engine Optimisation
↳ Optimising for zero-click answers (snippets, AI overviews).

✅ Instant authority, high CTR when clicks occur.
🚫 Fewer clicks, volatile snippet positions.
🏆 Rank by answering in 40–60 words, using schema & PAA topics.

🧩 AIO: AI Optimisation
↳ Ensuring your brand appears accurately in AI training data.

✅ Builds trust when AI tools surface your business.
🚫 Influence on training data can be limited.
🏆 Rank with structured, consistent content on trusted sources.

🧩 SXO: Search Experience Optimisation
↳ Optimising the full on-site experience so visitors convert.

✅ Turns traffic into revenue, boosts retention.
🚫 Needs CRO expertise, drops if SEO/AEO/GEO stall.
🏆 Rank with fast, mobile-friendly UX, aligned content, clear CTAs.

I've seen it firsthand. 
These determine if your brand is found or forgotten.

To have it done for you, autonomously, you need Searchable.👇
https://lnkd.in/epgXyFmi

It's the first tool that will optimise for all 5.

Which part of the puzzle are you missing?
I'm curious to know in the comments.

♻️ Repost to help your fellow founder & CEOs.
And follow Chris Donnelly for more.

My LinkedIn profile generates millions in revenue...

Now I'm giving you my full playbook for FREE:

Comment PROFILE, and I will personally send it to you.

Most LinkedIn profiles are glorified CVs. 

They list job titles, but do nothing to convert visitors into customers.

Even top entrepreneurs are losing leads because their profiles don't sell. 

I've strategically optimised my profile to achieve three goals:

- Waitlist for Searchable
- Subscriptions to my newsletter
- Sign-ups for The Creator Accelerator.

The results have been huge:

✅ 210,000+ subscribers to my email list
✅ 5000+ people on the Searchable waitlist 
✅ 5 fully sold out Creator Accelerator cohorts (with another incoming...)

And now, I want to share exactly how I did that with you, free of charge. 

This information could potentially be worth millions...

If you implement it as soon as possible. 

These are the exact steps I used to turn 1000s of profile views into leads. 

Inside, you'll learn how to: 

✅ Write About sections that convert using the TRUST method
✅ Transform your experience into outcome-based credibility
✅ Turn your banner into a digital billboard that drives traffic
✅ Use the positioning formula that turns headlines into micro-pitches
✅ Create instant trust with your profile picture and brand consistency
✅ Follow the complete 30-day implementation roadmap with weekly milestones
✅ Implement the monthly optimisation system that prevents performance decay
✅ Build a strategic funnel flow that guides visitors from awareness to action

Your LinkedIn profile is either making or losing you money. 

There's no in-between. 

This playbook turns it into a powerful landing page.

As a bonus, everyone who grabs the playbook will get a seat for my live webinar: 

"How to go from 0-10k Followers on LinkedIn"

You'll learn when to post, the foundations of a perfect post,
And the content formats working right now.

Plus we'll have a live Q&A and 2 surprises for those who attend. 

If you're ready to turn your profile into a revenue generator,
Comment PROFILE, and I'll send you the link to the playbook.

"It's only 30 minutes."

The world's most dangerous excuse. 

You might think that 30 minutes is a drop in the bucket. 

But when you take the long view, it's more than you think. 

If used well, 30 minutes could change your trajectory. 

Because small habits and actions truly add up over time. 

The major differentiator between an average achiever and the top 1% is how they use their time. 

They know that real success depends on increasing their baseline level. 

So, if you work to operate at a higher level than others, 
It is guaranteed to stack up over months, years and decades. 

Think of it this way: 

30 minutes a day is 182 hours a year.
That's over 7 full days.

If you spent 7 days reading, you'd gain knowledge and motivation.  
If you spent 7 days watching Netflix, you'd be completely depleted.  

7 days of learning to use AI properly would be transformational. 
7 days of sitting around and complaining would be... awful. 

Yet, the majority of people spend (at least) 30 minutes consuming, complaining...

Or doing things that don't move them forward every day.

Truly successful people spend it differently.

They don't spend 30 minutes on:

→ Endless scrolling through social media
→ Watching content that doesn't teach them anything
→ Spending more time tucked up in bed
→ Eating junk food to simply fill the time
→ Perfectionism that delays launching

Instead, they use those 30 minutes to:

→ Read something that challenges their thinking
→ Write down their schedule/action plan for the week
→ Put in time at the gym for their health
→ Learn a skill that will pay off for years
→ Spend quality time with the family

How you use your time is everything. 

And it's entirely up to you.

Success isn't a sprint; it's a life-long pursuit. 

And those who commit to making the most of their time, 
Will be the ones who get the most out of life. 

What's one bad habit you're dropping? And what are you replacing it with?

It's just 30 minutes by Chris Donnelly.

Top businesses aren't just optimising for Google. 

They're already adapting to AI: 

Ranking for classic search engines used to be the goal. 

But now, answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, etc) are on the rise... 
 
If you want your business to stay relevant, 
You need to start investing in AI-driven rankings (AEO, GEO). 

In 2025 and beyond, I'd be putting time into these 3 types of search:
(See the cheat sheet for more details 👇) 

💻 SEO: Search Engine Optimisation
↳ Ranking pages on Google. 

⚙️ How it works:

- Identify high-intent keywords
- Build backlinks and internal linking
- Optimise content, speed and mobile experience

✅ Pros:
↳ Consistent traffic driver
↳ Builds long-term authority
↳ Underpins AEO and GEO efforts

🚫 Cons:
↳ Competitive and slow to show results
↳ Vulnerable to algorithm updates
↳ Requires ongoing upkeep

📈 How to rank higher:
↳ Focus on fewer, high-intent keyword clusters
↳ Refresh content quarterly
↳ Run technical audits

🤖 AEO: Answer Engine Optimisation
↳ Optimising for zero-click answers (like voice search). 

⚙️ How it works:

- Provide concise, direct answers
- Use schema mark-up (FAQ, How-to) 
- Format content bullets and headings

✅ Pros:
↳ Instant authority and visibility
↳ Strong for mobile and voice queries
↳ High CTR when clicks happen

🚫 Cons:
↳ Some users get the answer without clicking
↳ Snippet positions change frequently
↳ Requires constant content monitoring

📈 How to rank higher:
↳ Answer questions in 40–60 words
↳ Optimise for “People Also Ask” queries
↳ Add schema markup to FAQ and How-To pages

🎯 GEO: Generative Engine Optimisation
↳ Optimising content pulled by AI-driven search engines

⚙️ How it works:

- Publish clear, well-structured content 
- Build presence on credible sources (Reddit, Quora)
- Use AI-readable formatting

✅ Pros:
↳ Early mover advantage in AI search
↳ Positions brand as a trusted source
↳ Captures future-facing traffic streams

🚫 Cons:
↳ Hard to attribute direct traffic
↳ AI citation rules are still evolving
↳ Requires off-site presence, not just on your domain

📈 How to rank higher:
↳ Use entity-rich, fact-checked content 
↳ Get cited on known AI training sources
↳ Prioritise clarity with FAQs, tables, lists

Don’t get buried by brands already adapting.

It's not about just ranking on Google anymore. 

You're content is being cited by machines people trust for knowledge.

If you're not using AI on LinkedIn... you're falling behind. 

This sheet will keep you ahead of the pack:

It still surprises me that some people still actively avoid using AI on LI.

Either that or they are using it, but terribly.

Much of that comes down to confusion.
On what the tool is and what it can be used for.

AI doesn’t just help you "write content faster."
It can help you think, plan, and produce at a higher level. 

That’s why I created this sheet, 
So you can use AI to dominate LinkedIn in 2025 👇

(It's what we've taught to hundreds of Creator Accelerator students !)

1️⃣ Audience Research

👥 You are able to quickly identify your ICP using AI. 
📜 Then, create an authentic positioning statement. 
📣 Finally, use ChatGPT to nail your brand messaging. 

2️⃣ Content Ideation

☑️ Identify pain points using Collab. 
☑️ Search for relevant topics and ideas with Saywhat. 
☑️ Visualise the ideas using Saywhat's Infogrpahic Generator. 

3️⃣ Content Creation With ChatGPT

☑️ Create and train a custom content writing GPT. 
☑️ Take the ideas from Saywhat and develop them with GPT.
☑️ GPT takes you 90% there, then you tweak it.

4️⃣ Creating Your Own IP

Step 1: Turn your process into IP.
Step 2: Create 2-3 CustomGPTs for key roles.
Step 3: Give the GPTs more info to become smarter. 

5️⃣ AI Do's And Don'ts

✅ Train with your actual voice.
✅ Give AI clear context before asking anything.
✅ Edit AI output to achieve perfection.
✅ Feed AI real audience pain points.

🚫 Publish raw AI output.
🚫 Copy others' outputs blindly. 
🚫 Use vague prompts. 
🚫 Make false assumptions about understanding.

Ignoring AI for content creation at this stage would be like refusing to learn how to drive because you can ride a horse.

Get off the horse and find your car keys.

It's your most competitive advantage as a creator.

Not knowing it will be your biggest blunder.

If you're feeling lost or confused...
I have good news for you !

This Thursday, December 4th, we are hosting:

"How To Save 100+ Hours Using AI On LinkedIn"

We'll explain exactly how AI can help you: 

✅ Generate ideas and turn them into content in minutes. 
✅ Conduct audience research, positioning, and storytelling. 
✅ Create a BTS co-founder to help you build and scale without burning out. 

Sign up here to join us 👇

SEO has changed more in the past 2 years than in the last 20.

It's an entirely new game with new rules...

And most businesses have no idea it's happening.  

Ranking on Google page 1 used to guarantee visibility.

In 2025, that's no longer enough.

Your potential customers are searching in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

If AI engines can't find and cite your content, you're invisible.

Here's what's shifting in search right now:

📺 Old SEO → Google or nothing
↳ If you didn’t rank page one, your brand didn’t exist.

💻 New SEO → AI search is here
↳ You must appear in AI answers and citations to stay discoverable.

📺 Old SEO → E-E-A-T optional
↳ Thin keyword blogs could rank.

💻 New SEO → E-E-A-T mandatory
↳ Proof, examples, and lived experience are now required.

📺 Old SEO → Keywords ran the show
↳ Stuffed headlines, tags, and paragraphs.

💻 New SEO → Intent runs the show
↳ Content must serve why the user is searching.

📺 Old SEO → Volume over depth
↳ Publish as many posts as possible.

💻 New SEO → Authority over volume
↳ Depth, interlinked clusters, and niche expertise win.

📺 Old SEO → Write for crawlers
↳ Meta tags and keyword stuffing ruled.

💻 New SEO → Write for AI engines
↳ Direct, structured answers that ChatGPT and Gemini can cite.

📺 Old SEO → Any backlink will do
↳ Even irrelevant links moved the needle.

💻 New SEO → Backlinks that count
↳ Trusted sources, PR, podcasts, and partnerships drive authority.

📺 Old SEO → Ranking was the finish line
↳ Page one meant you’d “won.”

💻 New SEO → Discovery never stops
↳ AI summaries, snippets, and citations keep visibility alive.

The rules of SEO are evolving faster than I ever imagined. 

Staying flexible, adaptable, and open to new ideas is non-negotiable. 

This is exactly why we built Searchable. 

It’s designed to:

- Show where your brand is visible (Google + AI search)
- Automatically optimise for SEO, AEO, and GEO
- Turn visibility into clicks and revenue

So you can prepare for the new era of search, without burning yourself out.

Old SEO vs New SEO

SEO has changed more this year than in the last 10. 

This is the new glossary you need for 2025/26: 

The SEO blueprint you were taught in 2022 is already outdated. 

The terms, strategies, and metrics that matter are different now. 

You don't need to know every SEO term by heart. 

But if you want your business to be visible in 2025/26, 
You need to know these 24 terms at the very least. 

Save this glossary to stay on top of AI search: 

1. SEO: Search Engine Optimisation
Improving visibility across Google and AI-driven platforms.

2. AEO: Answer Engine Optimisation
Designing content that appears in AI-generated results.

3. GEO: Generative Engine Optimisation
Ensuring your brand appears inside AI summaries.

4. AI Visibility: 
How often your brand is cited in AI-generated responses.

5. SERP: Search Engine Results Page
Where SEO and AI Overviews now coexist.

6. Zero-Click Results: 
When users get answers directly from AI without clicking through.

7. LLMO: Large Language Model Optimisation
Optimising for models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.

8. Semantic Search: 
AI's ability to understand context and intent.

9. Entity Recognition: 
How AI connects people, brands, and concepts in your content.

10. Embeddings: 
The way AI encodes meaning to determine content relevance and citations.

11. Chunking: 
Breaking content into sections AI can easily index and cite.

12. Passage Ranking: 
Google's ability to rank individual passages within a page.

(See the cheat sheet for the full list of terms 👇) 

The world is splitting between businesses who know these terms,  
And those who have no idea this shift is happening. 

It's your job to land on the right side of history...

Yesterday we launched Searchable

The first Visibility Platform that gets your brand ranked No 1 by AI Search

Founders, SEO’s, marketing teams. The feedback has been crazy, 100s of people signing up. 

Some people even writing things like “Vibe Marketing” and “Vibe SEO” which makes me so happy ! 

So why are we launching? 

60 days ago Google changed how SEO worked forever. 

You used to see hundreds of results per page, now you only see 10. 

Search Engine Land have said over 88% of sites saw a massive drop in traffic from Google. 

ChatGPT looks like it's driving 2-4x higher purchase intent with Seer and Search Engine Land stating up to 9x higher. 

This is a huge opportunity for brands to move fast. If you move fast right now, the dividends will be enormous for you and your business. 

So how does Searchable help?!

1. Identify & Track the RIGHT prompts
Our prompt suggestions are the best in the space at giving you commercial and educational prompts for your target audience

Our prompt research will analyse your site, analytics and search console and suggest prompts to gain qualified traffic. 

2. Content & Technical Optimisation
Our content and technical audits are performed against LLMs requirements to identify which parts of your sites are being read and understood and therefore used in answers. 

We then use this information to advise you on how to fix and improve your site. 

3. Agent Co Pilot 
Your agent will be automatically trained on your brand context and you can connect your Analytics and Search Console. 

The agent is trained on the data, reports and insight of the leading AI Search Experts. 

Imagine being able to ask your agent (a few examples!): 

What are my most commercial prompts? 
What content is going to drive the most LLM traffic?
What prompts should I track and optimise for to win my customers?
What prompts are my competitors ranking for and how do I beat them?

The brands who we have been working with have seen 200-300% increase in their traffic from AI Search over the last 2 months. 

Companies like Heights, Lottie, Thrive and dozens of agency partners using Searchable for their clients. 

To celebrate the launch, I am giving my audience FREE credits to use Searchable

📊 Deep Visibility & Analytics Report
⌨️ 100 prompt credits
🧹 5 site audit credits
💻 1 article credit

Plus free step-by-step guides on how to prepare for this shift.

Utilising ChatGPT properly has made me millions on LinkedIn...

And I'm giving you 4 of my CustomGPTs for FREE:

Comment CUSTOM, and I will personally send them all to you.

Most people see AI as a time saver - an efficiency tool.
While it does help with that... it's a bit of a reductive description.

What it can really do is level up your entire content workflow.

I've spent a ton of time and resource into improving these GPTs.
They've now been responsible for 100M+ views on LinkedIn this year.

As well as a hefty amount of revenue !

The 4 GPTs are:

🪝 The Scroll Stopping Hook Generator
💡 The Viral LinkedIn Idea Generator
💰 The High-Converting Lead Gen Generator
📊 The LinkedIn Algorithm Expert

With all of these, you can essentially:

1. Generate hooks that are proven to drive incredible engagement.

2. Use less brain power to come up with viral post ideas.
(Trained on posts that have generated 100s of millions of views this year alone)

3. Come up with angles for posts that generate dozens of leads per post.

4. Ensure every single post is optimised for the latest algorithm updates.
(Based on a database of 200k+ posts in the last quarter)

You essentially have a 4-man LinkedIn content team at your dispsoal. 

Again, I repeat, for free.

Us Founders are busy, busy people. 
I couldn't stay consistent without these, that's for sure.

Start using them, I promise you won't regret it.

As a bonus, everyone who grabs the GPTs will get a seat for my live webinar:

"How To Save 100+ Hours Using AI On LinkedIn"

You'll learn how to leverage AI into your all-in-one content assistant.

Saving you hours and improving your quality of content in the process.

Plus we have a live Q&A and 2 surprises for those who attend.

So if you're ready to start using GPT properly for LinkedIn,
Comment CUSTOM and I'll send you the link to the 4 GPTs.

♻️ Repost to help your network start growing rapidly on LinkedIn.

After building an AI Startup in 2025

Anyone who says AI is “the magic bullet is lying”

AI isn’t the reason for success.

The reality is, you have to run a great business, design incredible product, have a razor focus on product led growth, run highly personalised marketing and sales, create funnels and customer funnels for acquisition and retention. 

AI will allow you to do it fastest, more efficiently, with a smaller team, at greater scale for less cost than it used to.

Take it from me, I have built and sold or exited three large businesses before from 2011 - 2024.

If I wanted to go from nothing to $1m ARR as fast as humanly possible...

These are the tools I'd use:
(And the purpose they serve)


1. Lovable 

The best tool for product prototyping. This is your breeding ground for an MVP.

2. Searchable

Shameless plug, but this is your go-to Autonomous SEO/AEO/GEO Growth Engineer.

It is now low-level analytics. It is deep analytics for AI Search that you can implement.

3. Cursor

Cursor will accelerate the speed and efficiency of your engineering team by 10x.

4. Zapier

Use Zapier for connectivity for CRM, as well as automated retention and upsell campaigns.

5. ChatGPT or Claude

Use these specifically for custom training for all team members, but also as your day-to-day brainstorming partners.

6. Clay

To enrich contact details at scale, give you the power to stitch together social media activity, marketing activity and intent. 

Therefore you can market far more accurately and efficiently. 

7. Claude Code

You can use Claude Code to plug into all operations of your business to spot trends, analyse churn, create automated communication, reporting and insight on how your customers are using your business.

You don’t need every AI tool.

The tool isn’t the answer.

Good strategy is and the tools enable speed, efficiency and scale.

Happy building folks.

Which tools are you and aren't you using?
Curious to know in the comments.

And let me know if I missed any in the comments as well.

♻️ Repost to give your network the right tools to build.
And follow Chris Donnelly for more AI startup tips.

They say: "Likes don't pay the bills."

It's much more nuanced than that...

I'm not sure where the myth of "growing slowly and authentically" started. 

You don't have to choose between growing fast and making money. 

You can do both at the same time.

I've built multiple 8-figure businesses this way.
And 100s of students in The Creator Accelerator have too.

But you must know which content grows and which content converts your audience. 

The carousel below has the full breakdown.
But here's a quick summary in the meantime: 

Content That Grows:

↳ Top-of-funnel content that gets eyes on your business. 

- Punchy hooks create intrigue.
- Lighter subjects and highly shareable. 
- Gets reach, builds an audience, and creates trust.

Content That Sells:

↳ Middle/bottom-of-funnel content that generates sales.

- The CTA can be subtle or more obvious.
- Talks directly to the audience that is warm or ready to buy.
- Highlights a pain point → offers the solution → shows proof.

One type of content builds trust and positions your brand. 

The other leverages that trust to generate demand.  

The biggest mistake would be leaning too heavily in either direction. 

Real results come from using both strategically.

TL;DR: 

☑️ Reach the right people first
☑️ Provide them with value
☑️ Give them a clear next step

And if you want to see real revenue through LinkedIn...

Content That Grows vs Content That Sells

Whether you're using GPT, Claude or Perplexity,

Weak prompts = Weak outputs 

The quality of your prompts determines your results.  

People tend to prompt each LLM the same, and that’s not always wise. 

But in case you don’t want to learn EVERY tool in detail, 
There are universal rules that can be applied to get good results.  

These will ensure 10x better results from most LLMs: 

(See the cheat sheet for more details 👇) 

1. Keep The Base Prompt Short

Pick one role, goal, or definition of success. 
The base prompt controls how the model thinks.

2. Add Context In Layers

Your prompt is the headline.
Your supporting files and data do the heavy lifting.

3. Multi-shot > One-shot

Show the model good vs bad examples.
These act like micro-training.

4. Give The Model A Thinking Path

AI doesn’t assume priorities.
Tell it the order: analyse → extract → prioritise → recommend → format.

5. Use Constraints Deliberately

Constraints reduce hallucinations, and ambiguity.
Word count, style, and format create clarity.

Context Stacking 

A modern prompt works like a modular system.
It’s almost like you’re assembling it.

Layer A: Role & Goal
Layer B: Memory
Layer C: Examples (Multi-Shot)
Layer D: Documents
Layer E: Parameters

Connectors & MCP 

This is where the next generation of prompting is going.

Use connectors to link AI to:

- Google Drive → briefs, scripts, docs
- Notion → wiki, strategy hubs
- Slack → decisions, updates, support
- AirTable → CRM data, ICP profiles

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

A technical way to tell the model:

- Which tools it can call
- What data it can fetch
- What the output format must be

If your prompts aren’t working, check for these mistakes: 

❌ Mixing tone, goals, and tasks
❌ Asking for everything at once
❌ Giving no examples
❌ Giving too many examples
❌ Forgetting constraints
❌ Zero logic or sequencing
❌ Five different prompts doing the job of one system

After months of building Searchable that uses agentic AI, 
I've learned that prompting is not just writing good instructions. 

It's about engineering a system that produces strong results, consistently. 

What's your formula for a good prompt?

Excited to announce that Searchable has raised $4 million in pre-seed funding at a $40 million valuation.

For an idea we had only 4 months ago. We launched 12 days ago. 

In 12 days we have had: 
- 4,500 people signed up to try Searchable
- 1000s of trials started 
- 100s of paying customers
- Reached $39,322 MRR

Fundamentally, AI is changing marketing faster than Google did.

Now, if you're not indexing within AI search engines, you are going to lose out. 

There are 700 million monthly users on ChatGPT.
450 million on Google Gemini.
30 million for Perplexity and Claude.

This is a real consumer behavioural shift, and we're right at the beginning of it.

Even if you think Google are going to win, the interface will be different forever. 

I truly believe what we're building is the best tool on the market.

With the best team behind it to grow it into what I think could be a billion-dollar business.

I met my Co-Founders Sam Hogan and Arya Nagabhyru 4 months ago. 

They were both deep AI engineers building in the AI agent space at YC companies.

We jammed on the idea non stop and eventually landed on a massively improved version of what I had brought to them.

Since then, I've moved them to our London office, hired some more incredible talent, and hit some insane revenue figures already.

This is predicted to become a multi-billion-dollar market by 2030. The opportunity is massive.

In 2012, £10 in Facebook spend could return hundreds because no one else was doing it.

That same window exists now – for brands who learn to be visible to AI.

I've never worked with more talented people.

- Tested and refined my strategy countless times 

Creators have never faced tougher conditions than right now.

✅ The best way to comment.
✅ How to use video properly. 
✅ The best-performing hook formats.
✅ Which visual formats are working.
✅ The most important metrics to track.

The most common LinkedIn mistake: 

Thinking followers = revenue. 

Growing a strong audience on LinkedIn is still doable with the right approach. 
If you post valuable content daily, you will eventually see follower growth. 

What's challenging is turning that attention into revenue. 

People assume lead gen is complex, pushy, or time-consuming.
And it will be unless you have the right system.

That's what this cheat sheet is for.

I built it for founders who want their LinkedIn presence to really pay off. 

(This is a sneak peek. Scroll down for the full sheet 👇) 

1. Don’t Sell... SERVE 

S → Show up consistently.
E → Educate.
R → Relate to their needs.
V → Value relationships over transactions.
E → Engage with authenticity.

2. Social Selling & Direct Messages 

- Ask real questions
- React genuinely to posts daily 
- Leave relevant, detailed comments 
- Connect with a personalised message
- Add value to their comments elsewhere
- Filter your feed with LinkedIn filters or Sales Nav

Research their activity:

1. Can you solve a problem they have? 
2. Can you add to or debate an opinion they've shared? 
3. Can you make introductions between them and someone else? 

3. Optimise Your LinkedIn & Offer 

➡️ Optimise your LinkedIn page
High quality banner
Custom link
Job link (top right)
Focussed featured section (2x)
Job section (add media)
 
➡️ Landing Page Strategy
Headline: Make it clear who it's for.
Subheading: Reinforce the transformation.
Clear CTA: Keep it simple and action-driven.
Social Proof & Urgency: Showcase proof and results.

4. Lead Magnets 
↳ Designed to capture emails and warm up leads.
↳ It could be a cheat sheet, checklist, ebook, template, etc. 

5. Segmentation & Personalisation 
↳ Segmentation = Dividing your audience into meaningful groups. 
↳ Personalisation = Delivering communication based on segmentation.

6. Understanding Your Funnel 

1. Top of Funnel (TOFU): Educate & attract.
2. Middle of Funnel (MOFU): Engage & nurture.
3. Bottom of Funnel (BOFU): Convert & close.

Only 3% of your ideal clients will ever reach out first.

That leaves 97% of your audience waiting for you to make a move. 
From that 97%, you might convert 5-10%. 

But with a $5–10K offer, that's more than worth your time. 

LinkedIn selling doesn't come without challenges. 
But this is the most accessible and scalable method I’ve found.

(Not to mention it's helped me generate millions in revenue...)

Google still processes 8.5 billion searches daily. 

But now you're competing across AI systems too...

That means it's time to update your vocabulary, 
And make sure you have at least a basic understanding of the new SEO terms.  

Traditional SEO still drives traffic. 
But businesses with hopes to scale in 2026 need to grasp AI search as well.  

Here are 20 essential concepts you need to know:

1. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)
↳ Optimising content so it gets pulled into AI-powered search answers.

2. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)
↳ Targeting platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

3. AIO (AI Optimisation)
↳ Adapting content to maximise visibility across AI search engines.

4. SXO (Search Experience Optimisation)
↳ Blending SEO with UX to improve the user journey and boost conversions. 

5. Keywords
↳ Search terms and phrases people use to find anything online.

6. Backlinks
↳ External links that signal credibility and relevance to search engines.

7. Site Health
↳ The overall technical performance of a site.

8. SERP (Search Engine Results Page)
↳ The page displayed after a search query, showing organic and paid listings.

9. Organic Traffic
↳ Visitors who arrive at your website through unpaid search engine results.

10. Bounce Rate
↳ The percentage of visitors who leave a website after viewing a single page.

11. Indexing
↳ How search engines store, organise, and prepare your content for ranking.

12. Ranking
↳ The position your site achieves in search engine results.

13. On-Page SEO
↳ Optimising website titles, content, structure, and code for relevance.

14. Off-Page SEO
↳ External activities such as link-building and PR that strengthen authority.

15. Schema Markup
↳ Structured code that helps AI systems interpret and display content details.

16. Query Fan-Out
↳ When AI expands a single user query into related sub-queries.

17. Chunking
↳ Breaking long-form content into smaller sections that AI can cite.

18. Passage Ranking
↳ Google’s system for ranking a single section of text.

19. Zero-Click Results
↳ Search results where answers appear directly on the page.

20. AI Overviews
↳ Google’s AI summaries that appear above organic search listings.

Traditional SEO still works, but it's no longer enough. 

Staying ahead now depends on learning and applying these concepts. 

Are any of these terms new to you?
