How to Prepare Your Business for AI Search With Bruno Gavino

Bruno Gavino

Bruno Gavino is the Founder and CEO of CodeDesign, a global digital marketing agency, and the company behind LLM Search Console. The platform was created to help businesses transition from traditional search engine optimization to generative engine optimization, or GEO, as consumers increasingly use AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to find information and make decisions. Bruno works at the intersection of digital marketing, AI, technology, and systems, helping companies adapt their strategies as search and automation rapidly evolve.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

[02:00] What generative engine optimization (GEO) is and why traditional search behavior is changing.
[03:40] Why AI visibility depends on a company's entire digital footprint, not simply website content and backlinks.
[05:05] How authority, relevant content, social engagement, and technical structure work together to help AI understand a brand.
[07:10] Practical website changes that can make content easier for AI models to find and understand.
[08:35] Why client experiences, case studies, and interviews can provide the unique content AI search increasingly values.
[16:40] Why businesses need clearly defined workflows and processes before they can successfully implement AI and automation

AI isn't simply changing how businesses create content. It is changing how customers find businesses in the first place.

In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Bruno Gavino, Founder and CEO of CodeDesign, about the transition from traditional SEO to generative engine optimization and what companies need to do to remain visible as AI-powered search grows. Bruno explains that visibility can no longer depend on publishing blog posts and accumulating backlinks. AI models can evaluate a much broader digital footprint, including how a company is discussed, reviewed, referenced, and connected to other credible sources across the internet.

Adi and Bruno get practical about what businesses can do now. Bruno recommends making online content easier for AI models to consume, using structured information, question-and-answer formats, summaries, transcripts, case studies, and firsthand client experiences. He also explains why authority matters. A company's expertise needs to appear consistently across its website, social channels, interviews, articles, and other digital touchpoints so AI models have enough context to understand what the company actually knows and does.

The conversation then moves beyond marketing into a larger discussion about AI implementation. Adi and Bruno agree that adding AI to a disorganized business won't automatically make the organization better. Businesses first need to understand and define their workflows so they know what should be optimized or automated. Bruno points out that individual employees adopting different AI tools without an overall blueprint can actually create more fragmentation. The opportunity is to combine AI with clearly defined processes, allowing technology to improve the organization rather than simply accelerating existing disorder.

Quotable Moments:

“We all need to rethink the way that we are putting our content online.”
“It's no longer just a content strategy. It's also a technical strategy.”
“What makes our businesses relevant are our experiences with clients.”
“If you're trying to embrace digital transformation and you don't work with the processes team, I feel like you're not going to go very far.”
“Sometimes optimizing your work does not benefit the company as a whole.”
“We need to make their life easier.

Action Steps:

Assess your entire digital footprint. Look beyond your website and consider how your expertise appears across articles, interviews, social media, reviews, and third-party mentions.
Make content easier for AI to understand. Use clear summaries, question-and-answer sections, transcripts, and structured web content instead of relying heavily on PDFs.
Publish firsthand expertise. Turn client experiences, case studies, interviews, and real business challenges into original content that demonstrates what your company actually knows.
Connect your authority across channels. Make sure your website, thought leadership, interviews, and social presence consistently reinforce your expertise and areas of specialization.
Define workflows before adding AI. Map how work currently gets done before deciding which activities should be automated, augmented, or changed.
Create an organization-wide AI strategy. Avoid having individuals independently introduce disconnected AI tools and workflows without considering how they affect the company as a whole
