Description
You've spent years focused on prospective students finding you on Google. But students aren't the only ones researching your institution anymore. AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are answering their questions, and your carefully crafted web pages might not even be part of the conversation.
In this interactive discussion, we'll explore what's changing about how people discover your school as search evolves from SEO to Answer Engine Optimization/Generative Engine Optimization. We'll share approaches you can start applying now, discuss what's working across our institutions, and look ahead to what's next...a world where AI agents research and recommend schools for their humans.
Come ready to share your experiences and ask questions.

After the session is over, we’ll continue the conversation on our #ai Slack channel. All DigiCol members are welcome to join the Digital Collegium Slack Workspace.
