Listen On

Welcome to the CanadianSME Small Business Podcast, hosted by SK Uddin, where we explore the strategies helping Canadian businesses rise above noise and become the trusted authority in their markets. As AI reshapes how people search and decide, visibility now depends less on keywords and more on credibility.

In this episode, Eric LeRiche, Authority Growth Strategist and Founder of LeRiche Marketing, breaks down why classic SEO is no longer enough and how Generative Engine Optimization is changing the rules.
