Words can't express the special energy there was in the room. With a mix of high-standard content, experienced speakers, BSCC regulars, and newbies.

It was our 10# Edition. We hosted 1 meetup per quarter and did not miss a single one since May 2023. Our community is the reward.

In the last 2,5 years, we have had:

✅ 1,000+ attendees
✅ 35 speakers and panelists from the corporate, agency, and consulting worlds
✅ 7 different sponsors (Semrush, Omio, WEVENTURE Performance, Bonial Germany, Xanevo, HomeToGo, Dept Agency)
✅ 8 different venues
✅ the single best community of professionals in the #SEO, #Content, #AISearch, #GEO world, in #Berlin

The positive energy that this community has been able to stimulate is overwhelming.

I'd like to give a BIG public "thank-you" note to our partner Semrush for supporting us with the organization, and flying in from #Barcelona, one of their smartest representatives, and an amazing public speaker, Fernando Angulo.

Thanks, Ciara Serrano Temprado, without whom none of this would be possible...

Thank you to Textbroker International, who is always there to support us and bear all the time and energy I invest in this project. It was fantastic to see in the room, our CEO El-Hadi Zahri, coming all his way from Frankfurt, Andrew Clarke, who made it with a long drive from #Poland, and Jenny Beutnagel and Isabel Valencia Martínez, my Berliner support system!

Thanks, WeWork, Sara Montemarano, and João Bernardo: you guys arranged the space for us wonderfully!

Thanks to the other 2 fantastic speakers, Bert-Jan Vos and Tina Reis. We got such great feedback about your talks. Tina was a speaker at our very first event in 2023, and it was mindblowing to see what a great public speaker she became!

And, last but not at all least, thank you, Sharon Peredo Sahid, for your very nice words at the end of the evening. They really warmed our hearts up. We are no longer used to receiving such compliments and endorsements, so trust me, those words reached exactly where they were meant to reach: the bottom of my heart.

It was very nice seeing many our regulars, the backbone of the community, and other familiar faces: Daniele Montemale, Maximilian D. Muhr, Johanna Maier, Jennifer Lapp, Diana Herbold, Thibaud C., Matthew Buccelli, Juan Daniel Mínguez, Reyhaneh Jafari, Stefan Vorwerk, Stephan Reiss, Sare Dens-Schryvers, Christian Dittmann, Federico Tonus, and all the others... ❤️ 

We wish you a lovely end of the year and see you in 2026!

Save the date: 18th February 2026.

🚀 New Whitepaper Drop: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵

This is probably the piece of work we’re most proud of in a long time.

 13 thought leaders — strategists, SEO Consultants, agency founders, B2B marketers, and AI researchers — came together to map how brands can stay visible, authoritative, and relevant in the era of AI Search.

All under the coordination of Mason Hoenicke, Isabel Valencia Martínez, and myself.

👉 It’s not a “final answer” document.

 It’s a hands-on compass: how to structure your content strategy, build brand authority, and drive branded demand through true expert content.

From #DigitalPR to #RedditBrandMarketing, until  Video Content and how it affects AI Search — this whitepaper connects the dots between what’s changing and what still drives results.

👉  𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 "𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁"

I'm particularly proud of the Textbroker International team, and I'd like to share a big "thank you" to everyone who contributed.

#AIsearch #ContentStrategy #SEO #BrandAuthority #DigitalPR

(disclaimer: it's a long piece of content 😅 , so you can focus on the areas that are more relevant for you, your brand, your strategy).

Enjoy! 🎉

This is not a whitepaper. This is a full guide to (what we know today about) #AISearch and #GEO, and it is free. Write "GEO" in the comments, and I'll share it with you.

Search is changing fast, and this guide explains how brands can adapt to the new world.

Together with experts such as Mason Hoenicke, Malte Landwehr, Myriam Jessier, Daniel Rodriguez, Maximilian D. Muhr, Bert-Jan Vos, Uwe Roll, Stephan Czysch, Alessandro Benigni, and with the external support of legends, like Kevin Indig and Aleyda Solís, we created a complete overview for marketers, #SEO teams, and leaders who want to understand what is happening right now.

Inside the guide, you will go through topics like:

• How SEO is transforming thanks to the raise of GEO, and what it means for brands
• How to run an Authority Gap Analysis
• How expert content works in AI Search
• Why #Reddit is now a trust engine for AI answers
• The role of video, #DigitalPR, and #entities
• Case studies from #N26, #Doctolib, and #Holidu
• How to prepare your content for #LLMs and #AIOverviews

If you want to understand what is coming next, start here.

SEOFOMO featured us 3x in this week's newsletter. 🎉

See you in 48 hours. 🚀

SEO budgeting in 2026 is shifting from output to influence, I just read on the latest release of one of my favourite newsletters, Growth Memo, by Kevin Indig.

Most marketing leaders are still budgeting for click growth, even though:

- AI Overviews have already cut organic traffic by half
- AI Mode will make most search sessions zero-click
- Visibility no longer equals visits

But...this is the new reality:

- SEO is no longer a spend → output model, it’s rather a capacity → influence system
- Budgets shouldn’t chase traffic but they should build authority and presence in AI-driven discovery

What this means for SEO in 2026?

- Stop asking “How can SEO drive more clicks?”
- Start asking, instead, “What capabilities do we need to earn brand visibility inside AI ecosystems?”

Here are some key shifts for marketing leaders:

- From Traffic-based ROI to Influence-based ROI
- From Keyword rankings to Brand mentions in LLMs
- From Content volume to Information gain and recency
- From Spend-to-scale to Capability-to-compound

Traffic is a decayed metric. Influence is the new growth engine.

We speak about it in our latest whitepaper: https://lnkd.in/dTH2Svx6

"Trust” is quietly becoming the new #SEO power metric.

I just read Duane Forrester's latest piece on Search Engine Journal, and the message is pretty direct: if AI doesn’t trust you, you don’t show up.

Ranking alone doesn’t cut it anymore, for obvious reasons. Brands need recognition + credibility strong enough for machines to pull you into their answers.

In this context, #EEAT isn’t a checklist. It’s the difference between being “searchable” and being “mention-worthy.”

A lot of brand awareness is now happening inside AI tools… where you don’t get referral data. The dark funnel just got darker.

Structured data, clear authorship, updated content, real experience, and external validation are the signals AI actually latches onto.

 To summarize it: your content wins when your expertise is verifiable, your signals are consistent, and your brand is the one AI feels safe citing.

If this topic is interesting for you, download our latest whitepaper on the Impact of Expert Content and EEAT on AI Search.

I am still waiting to see the first post of a marketer saying: I've attended conference/tradeshow/event X, and it SUCKED, because of reason X, Y, Z..

Excited to get some 1st-hand insights on the most talked-about acquisition of the year in the Search world...

Senior Market Research Manager | AI-Driven Insights & Digital Experience Strategy | Thought Leader in Content Intelligence, SEO & Consumer Trends

Excited to be back in Berlin next week for the Berlin SEO & Content Club, co-hosted with Semrush! 🎯

The timing couldn't be more interesting—this will be one of my first public appearances since Adobe's acquisition of Semrush was announced, and I'm looking forward to discussing what this means for our community while diving into a topic that's reshaping how we think about SEO success.

I'll be presenting "Zero-Click Content Strategy: When 70% of Queries Never Visit Your Website (And Why That's Your Opportunity)"—exploring how the rise of AI-generated answers, featured snippets, and answer engines isn't the end of content marketing, but rather a fundamental shift in how we create value and build authority.

The lineup is fantastic:

Tina Reis on AI for Content Creation
Bert-Jan Vos on how Digital PR is becoming crucial in the age of AI Search

And a special note: this marks the 10th edition of the Berlin SEO & Content Club! 🎉

If you're in Berlin and working at the intersection of SEO, content, AI, or GEO, I'd love to see you there. Tickets are going fast—link in the comments.

See you in Berlin! 🇩🇪

#SEO #ContentStrategy #AISearch #ZeroClick #DigitalMarketing #Berlin

The AI era is rewarding outcomes, not insights.

Kevin Indig’s latest analysis makes the shift undisputably clear: investors poured $227M into AI visibility trackers because dashboards looked like easy SaaS, but the real value sits in tools that actually ship work.

The pattern is obvious:
Monitoring tools → instant onboarding, pretty charts, zero defensibility, negative switching costs.
Agentic SEO platforms → operational depth, workflow automation, brand-grounded context, high switching costs.

One gets you information, the other gets you outcomes.

That’s why “visibility monitoring” is already being commoditized. When every vendor offers the same graph, the moat disappears. 

If you’re investing:

- Follow the friction. High-friction products become moats once integrated.

If you’re building:

 - Insight layers will get bundled away. Execution layers win by becoming the workflow.

Malte Landwehr

For the past 4 months, people have been asking me why I left idealo to join Peec AI.

I went from leading a business unit with 4 teams to being part of a team (company) of 10.

Since then, we have grown from 10 to 20+ people. And we went from $600k in ARR to $4M.

With 1,300+ paying customers, Peec AI has become a leader in the GEO/AEO space.

Today, we can announce that we have raised a $21M Series A round.

Some more things that happened recently.
➡️ #3 on Harmonic Hot 25 (Q4 2025)
➡️ #14 on Sifted AI Top 100
➡️ Accel Top 100 EU AI

We have achieved all of this in a crowded market with 160+ competitors.

And we did it in Berlin. Not in San Francisco.

Maybe joining Peec AI was a risk. Looking at what this team has achieved in such a short time, it feels more and more like the best professional decision I ever made. 

By the way, I am currently hiring for the following roles:
• Product Manager
• Product Manager SEO
• Customer Success Manager
• SEO & AI Search Strategist

No alternative text description for this image

Both our Series A announcement ($21 million) and our out-of-home campaign in Berlin led to hundreds of questions.

Since we are too busy filling 40 open roles over the next 6 months, we cannot find the time to answer every “what’s going on at Peec AI?” message.

We are doing a live AMA on Monday. We will talk about:
• Speed & Execution
• Product decisions
• How to get 1,400 paying customers in 10 month
• Why we moved the whole company to a Château in France for a week
• Organizing LAN parties for 100+ developers
• Why Marius is only average in League of Legends
• What it feels like to be the oldest person in the office (me)
• Anything you ask

If you’ve got questions about AI search – or just want the unfiltered version of the story – join us.

📅 Monday, 7 PM CET
👉 https://luma.com/si9uutf6

Charlie Marchant (Exposure Ninjas) challenged me to bring real-world examples of companies‘ AI search strategies.

I dugg into some of the research data-sets we are collecting at Peec AI and deconstructed how brands in the B2B space do it.

Examples. Playbooks. Everything.

Tomorrow we will discuss my findings in an exclusive webinar.
