The Best SEO Podcast

by Matthew Bertram

AI-Driven Visibility. Real-World Impact. Getting found, named and cited by AI search. Running since 2009. Over 5 million downloads. The same question the whole time: what is actually working right now, and what only sounds like it is. Matthew Bertram hosts. He owns and leads EWR Digital in Houston, so none of this is theory. It is what he is seeing in client work every week. The shift is not that buyers use AI. It is that a model now decides which companies get mentioned at all, and most executives cannot see whether theirs is one of them. Ranking was something you could measure. Being named is not, yet, and that gap is where the risk sits. Every week: operators, analysts and specialists who have run the thing they are talking about. What still works, what quietly stopped working, and what to do on Monday. If you run a marketing team, run a company, or you are building your own name, this one is for you. Because if the models cannot find you, your buyers will not either. The show explains it. EWR Digital does it.
