/// A Premium Paid Community to learn AI Search

BECOME AN
AI SEARCH
LEADER

The industry is going through the most dramatic change we've ever seen. Every single search professional needs to adapt or get left behind.

We are a paid, private peer network. We don't sell services or software. We sell clarity and capability.

/// Why_This_Matters

AI SEARCH IS A REVOLUTION
& AN OPPORTUNITY

For two decades, we optimized for Ten Blue Links. We built links, we targeted keywords, and we measured traffic. It was a predictable game with stable rules.

AI Search radically redefines consumer behavior, customer acquisition and the information economy. Whether you're an ecommerce brand looking to understand agentic commerce, a media company figuring out bot crawling economics or a B2B saas company figuring out the new rules of demand — it's a radical new ecosystem and the rules are still being written.

BUSINESS_QUESTIONS

Questions every business is trying to answer:

  • ?How is consumer demand changing?
  • ?How do we measure success?
  • ?What is our visibility in the new world?
  • ?How do we allocate resources? What do we stop/start/shift because of AI?
  • ?How are ways of working changing? How should our teams be structured now?
PROFESSIONAL_QUESTIONS

Questions every professional is trying to answer:

  • ?What skills do I need to learn?
  • ?How do I build and deploy agents to scale my impact?
  • ?How do I build reporting and success?
  • ?How do I understand what's changing?
  • ?How do I keep up?

In a world with no stable maps, your only real advantage is VELOCITY_OF_LEARNING. That's what we're building — the lab for this new reality.

NO_HIDDEN_AGENDA

We're not selling you fake “GEO strategies” — because we don't sell software or services.

Every AI Search vendor has an angle. They want you to buy their tool, their audit, their optimization platform. We have zero vendor agenda. No software to upsell. No services to pitch. Just a community of practitioners sharing what's actually working — and what isn't — so you can make smarter decisions faster.

THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

The Brave Search API is critical LLM infrastructure...

Tom CritchlowAdminJust now
Founder of AI Search Leaders

I thought this article was great. Some key points:

  • The Brave Search api appears to power a variety of LLM search experiences, Anthropic included
  • Brave has a “Web Discovery Project” - that uses anonymous browsing data
  • Brave has a “GRAIL Ranking Engine” - To rank web sources for AI, Brave uses an internal system called GRAIL, which relies on a machine-learning model combining 22 different signals. Key metrics include “GTE embeddings”...

Reporting on AI Search performance to C-Suite

T
Tom CritchlowAdminYesterday
Founder of AI Search Leaders

I've been fielding a lot of questions about how we communicate loss of organic traffic to executives when branded queries shift to zero-click AI overviews.

Are folks here building new unified reporting dashboards? How are you framing the narrative so the C-Suite doesn't panic?

“We lost 15% traffic but leads are steady” isn't flying anymore for our SaaS clients...

As much or as little as you want. The bi-weekly expert sessions are ~45 minutes, office hours are optional drop-ins, and the community is async. Most members spend 1-2 hours per week engaging with content and peers.
