The Cost of Being Invisible in ChatGPT - With Joseph Levi

AI search is changing how customers discover, evaluate and choose brands. In this episode of Beginner’s Guide to AI, Dietmar Fischer speaks with Joseph Levi, CEO of Noise Media, about Generative Engine Optimization, AI brand visibility and why appearing in ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity answers may soon matter as much as ranking on Google.

Joseph explains why GEO is not just another marketing abbreviation. It marks a shift from an internet read mainly by humans to an internet increasingly interpreted by AI agents. Instead of fighting only for blue links, brands now need to make sure AI systems understand who they are, what they do and why they should be recommended.

You’ll hear why AI agents often misunderstand brands, how schema and FAQs can help, why authority matters more than keyword repetition, and why smaller specialist companies may have a real opportunity in AI search.
