Get Chosen LIVE

AI is changing how people discover businesses, experts, and solutions online. In this episode of Get Chosen. LIVE!, I sit down with Andreas Voniatis to unpack how platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI tools decide who gets recommended and who gets ignored.

He also shares why AI is positioning “winners and losers” in search and what business owners must do to stay relevant.
