Dublin Chamber's Marketing Strategy Workshop: AI Is the New SEO for Small Business
AI Is the New SEO for Small Business: How to Show Up in AI Search and Local Results (It’s Cost-Effective and Easy!)
Search is changing (and fast!) Instead of traditional “Googling,” more people are now asking AI tools like ChatGPT and voice assistants where to shop, who to hire, and what products to trust.
In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll learn how AI search works and what small business owners can do right now to stay visible. We’ll break it down in clear, practical terms and focus on steps you can actually implement (no technical experience beyond a very basic familiarity with ChatGPT, Google Business Profile, and your website needed!)
You’ll learn:
- How AI tools decide which businesses to recommend
- Why your online listings and website matter more than ever
- Simple ways to improve your chances of being shown in AI search results
- What to prioritize (and what to ignore) as a small business owner
This workshop is designed for local business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs who want
to stay competitive as search evolves. Whether you’re new to SEO or already investing in
marketing, you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and actionable next steps.
What to Bring:
- A laptop, tablet, or phone with access to your website (and Google Analytics login if you have – not required)
Schedule Breakdown:
- 9 am to 9:15 am - Check in, coffee, and networking.
- 9:15 am to 11 am - Workshop and questions. This is a working session so bring your laptops
