The Way Your Agency Handles Leads Will Define Success in 2026 [Webinar] via @sejournal, @hethr_campbell

If you’ve made it this far, driving leads is no longer a challenge for you. 

The real issue is what happens after your leads come in. 

Are you seeing more missed calls than usual? 

Worried about not being able to follow up in time and losing the sale?

Poor handoffs of hot leads to your sales team cause leads to go cold, meaning your marketing budget spend is going to waste.

As speed-to-lead becomes a critical factor in conversion, agencies are being asked to prove ROI when clients struggle to respond fast enough. This disconnect is forcing teams to rethink how lead handling fits into campaign performance and long-term client trust.

In this session, Anthony Milia, President of Milia Marketing, and Bailey Beckham Constantino, Senior Partner Marketing Manager at CallRail, share how agencies are using AI to improve: 

  • Closing & conversion rates.
  • Client communication speed.

What You’ll Learn

Why Attend?

This webinar provides practical guidance for agencies looking to protect performance and demonstrate real results. You will gain clear examples and frameworks to improve conversions and client confidence heading into 2026.

Why Your Small Business’s Google Visibility in 2026 Depends on AEO [Webinar] via @sejournal, @hethr_campbell

AI Assistants Decide Which Local Businesses Get Recommended

In 2026, local visibility on SERPs is no longer controlled by traditional search rankings alone. 

AI assistants are increasingly deciding which businesses get recommended when customers ask who to call, book, or trust nearby. 

Tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Siri are shaping these decisions in ways that leave many small businesses unseen.

AI-powered search is already influencing your shoppers’ choices without a website click ever happening. 

Your future customers are relying on answer engines to surface a single recommendation, not a list of options. 

Yet most small businesses remain invisible to AI because their Google Business Profile information is incomplete, inconsistent, or structured in ways these AI chat systems cannot confidently interpret. The result is fewer calls, missed bookings, and lost revenue.

In this upcoming webinar session, Raj Madhavni, Co-Founder, Alpha SEO Pros at Thryv, will explain how AI assistants evaluate local businesses today and which signals most influence recommendations. He will also identify the common gaps that prevent businesses from being selected and outline how to address them before 2026.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to implement AEO to improve local business visibility
  • The ranking signals AI assistants use to select local businesses
  • A practical roadmap to increase AI driven visibility, trust, and conversions in 2026

Why Attend?

This webinar gives small business owners and marketers a clear framework for competing in an AI driven local search environment. You will leave with actionable guidance to close visibility gaps, strengthen trust signals, and position your business as the one AI assistants recommend when customers ask.

Register now to prepare your business for local AI search in 2026.
