Episode 114 of The Closing Table with Lawyers Title dives deep into one of the most confusing — and critical — topics in real estate today: digital visibility in the age of AI.

Host Tamera Gaede sits down with Michael Tritthart, international tech instructor and co-owner of MichaelTritthart.com, to break down SEO vs GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and explain how Realtors actually show up on Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI-powered search tools.

 • Why AI isn’t replacing SEO — it’s amplifying it
 • What GEO is and how agents get ranked inside AI search results
 • Why your website is more important now than ever
 • The critical profiles Realtors forget to update (MLS, Realtor.com, HAR, Google Business)
 • How incomplete bios cost agents visibility and leads
 • Why AI favors facts, structure, and original local content
 • How to use AI without hurting your rankings
 • The fastest, lowest-cost way to generate leads right now
 • Why your database is a goldmine — and how to actually mine it
