AI search just changed, again...

OpenAI released ChatGPT Group Chats, and this update is bigger than it looks.

People will now research and make buying decisions together inside shared chats, and the AI will recommend which businesses to choose.

That means your website MUST be AI-visible, not just Google-optimized.

In our latest blog post, we break down:

🔹 What Group Chats mean for search
🔹 How AI will influence customer decisions
🔹 Why businesses need websites that AI can understand
🔹 How our platform builds sites ready for this new era

AI search is the new SEO. Make sure your business shows up.

Sometimes you fall into a slump or get into victim / martyr mode. Today, someone very important to me shared this interview I did with Leanne Kezin during COVID.

Thank you for the reminder.

One of my Favourite Projects
Global Research I’m Virtual Environments
————————————————
Over a decade ago, StyleLabs started exploring virtual environments (specifically second life("SL")) in an effort to build an international panel for eStyle.

As part of our due diligence/exploratory exercise, two of our researchers (myself included) developed avatars and familiarized ourselves with the SL environment. What we found was that doing research in Second Life is a lot like fieldwork in the real world.

Once we had a sufficient panel, we picked a low incidence segment (HIV Patients) and developed a screener for the first Global Second Life Focus Group with HIV patients and high risk groups. The objective of the research was to test extremely sensitive HIV prevention

The SL facility was robust enough to upload the stimuli (Video, Print and Online) and each respondent piggy backed a translator so that the moderator (myself) could freely communicate with each respondent in their own language via chat. Specifically, whatever I wrote them would be translated to them in their native language, and whatever was written to me was converted back into English.

In one group (english speaking) respondents were permitted to use microphones, facilitating verbal conversations between avatars. For the 4 groups we ran, the honorarium paid out per respondent was the equivalent of $15 US dollars for 90 minutes.

Using Second Life is extremely useful for specific types of qual and quant research. We ran parallel groups in 3 Canadian cities (sponsored by our client) and found that in the SL environment, people were more honest, transparent and less susceptible to group think. Furthermore, the data is transcribed real time, making reporting substantially easier.

There's also the cost factor. Considering advertising and programming costs, facilitating groups in virtual environments and extrapolating (in my opinion) richer data (greater breadth, broader perspective and a less intimidating environment to provide feedback), is at only a fraction of a cost of even online focus groups or virtual round tables (asynchronous).

With today’s technology, imagine what this would have looked like.

Let me tell you about my good friend Tyrone Mellon.

Although I always say that I trust him implicitly, today, I can say I genuinely trust him with my life.

For the past 3 days, we’ve had a natural gas leak at our house. Unfortunately it was a tricky one and the leak only presented when someone was calling hot water from the shower.

Ty called me right away, raised a red flag and guided me through the process.

Thank you Tyrone. I can’t thank you enough for all your support inspecting our home and helping us through the home building, the floods and now this.
