Coffees and Content: LinkedIn, AI Search & Getting Found in 2026

This week's episode is a quick but important one - recorded from the car on a busy Monday morning because some updates genuinely can't wait.

We're covering what AI is actually doing to how people find businesses right now, why your LinkedIn personal profile has become one of the most powerful visibility tools you're probably underusing, and a few rapid fire updates from the past week you need on your radar.

What's covered:

• How LinkedIn personal profiles are now being cited by AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for business queries
• 68% of Google searches ending without a click - and what that means for your visibility
• The simple self-audit: keywords, email marketing, website accuracy and paid ads
• Rapid fire: Google's Gemini Spark, Meta's AI creative tools for ads, and the big conversation at Cannes Lions
