AI-Ready Marketing for 2026: How Businesses Get Found, Chosen, and Trusted in an AI-Driven World

Описание: Artificial Intelligence is no longer coming — it’s already here. In this MITechTV segment, SmartFinds Marketing CEO Melih Oztalay explains how AI is reshaping digital marketing, search visibility, and customer engagement as we enter 2026.

Businesses that still rely on a website-first strategy are falling behind. AI engines now summarize your entire digital ecosystem before a buyer ever visits your site. To compete, companies must adopt AI-Ready Marketing — a modern marketing infrastructure built for AI assistants, generative engines, and automation workflows.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why your digital ecosystem matters more than your website
• How AI engines read, interpret, and score your online presence
• GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and the evolution beyond traditional SEO
• How AI-Enhanced CRO boosts conversions with behavior analysis
• How the Data Activation Layer connects GA4, CRM, and Looker Studio
• How AI agents automate research, reporting, and lead response
• What businesses must do to prepare for AI-driven buyer behavior in 2026
