We all know that AI is changing how people find information online, and it also changes how you measure what's working.

People are finding what they are looking for without ever clicking through to a website, so focus on showing up where your audience is, and track what you can.

And always ask people how they found you!

I usually don't know the speakers for Live2Lead, but I always learn something, and find new authors to follow (and their books to read), after attending. I have worked with Bill each year to promote this event in Adrian since October 2019.

The 2026 event is coming up on October 23.
