Less than a week away until our next event! Everyone's talking about AI search, but few teams have a real plan for tracking their visibility in it.

MnSearch's next event, "Building an AI Visibility Program: What to Track, Measure, and Optimize for AI Responses," is a hands-on workshop with Jason Khoo. He'll walk through selecting the right prompts to track, evaluating AI visibility tools, measuring your brand's presence in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, and turning that data into SEO and content priorities you can actually act on.

Google I/O 2026 just dropped and there is a lot for marketers to chew on.

Join us tomorrow, Friday May 29, from 12–1 PM CST for a casual virtual Lunch-n-Learn debrief inside the MnSearch Circle Community.

We are talking UCP, agentic commerce, AI Mode at 1 billion users, generative UI in search, and whatever else is on your mind after this week. This is not a formal session. Just marketers getting together over lunch to work through what Google I/O means for our work.

Bring your lunch, your hot takes, and your questions. See you tomorrow!
