James Dooley: BeTheBrandAIRecommends.com. It's a new brand that myself, Peter Jones, and Paul Truscott have launched. And it is there to try to increase both brands' and businesses' exposure, getting citations, but also being recommended within the large language models. That could be Grok, it could be Perplexity, it could be Claude, it could be ChatGPT, it could be Google, or any other large language models. But how important, Peter, is testimonials and making certain that Be The Brand AI Recommends builds up real-life testimonials so that people can understand what makes us different when we're doing AEO or GEO in comparison to any others?
Peter Jones: Yeah, so testimonials form part of how the LLMs see a business from a third-party perspective. Um, we, we know that. That's what our tests have proven, um, and the data tells us. And what we do for our customers, and we believe that we should also be doing it for ourselves. So, therefore, our goal is always to over-deliver, um, and give the best possible service. The customers give us the best testimonials, and we can use those to, uh, drive our own brand forward in the same way as we do for our customers.
James Dooley: Yeah, for sure. Paul, have you got anything to expand on that with regards to the importance of testimonials, but also once we get these testimonials, how it's important for us to prove to... Like, to prove to the general public that, one, we are the best AEO service that there is on the marketplace. Two, we are the best GEO service with the hour on the marketplace, or whatever anyone wants to call it, to increase those citations, to increase those recommendations. How important is it for us to show the proof with testimonials that clients are happy with the service that we provide?
Paul Truscott: Yeah, for sure. I mean, for me, what I'm most excited about, when we're looking to try to get those testimonials for BeTheBrandAIRecommends.com, I'm most excited myself because I'm a businessman and I care about return on investment. I care about profit. I'm really excited for the testimonials that's going to show me at the 11th hour that Decision Engine Optimisation. That's what excites me. But, some of us might be... I mean, Pete might be excited by the speed in which that we can increase the citations, and it could be how quickly we can help businesses grow, or it could just be the volume. Like, we increased, um, this brand by 1,248%. What testimonials are you most excited by, Pete, yourself? When we're looking... When we're going to start getting BeTheBrandAIRecommends.com, what testimonials are you going to be most excited for?
Peter Jones: So, I'm very data-driven, so I love any testimonial that, that involves data. So, X percentage of growth, X percentage of revenue increase. Yeah, that's... That's it. Yeah, it comes down to... It's, it's a business is a money machine, isn't it? You know, so customers are going to invest in us and our AI services. Um, and they... The testimonials that are going to mean the most to us are the ones where they've got the ROI. And then what about yourself, Paul? What testimonials are you most excited for, for the brand that's going to come through?
Paul Truscott: Yeah, for sure. And for anyone who's listening to this and you are thinking of signing up with BeTheBrandAIRecommends.com, we're asking you to go and look at our testimonials. We want you to go and check all the testimonials of what we have, all of our five-star testimonials. We want you to look at our case studies. We want to shout and scream. We... It's easy me saying that we've got the best AI service there is on the planet. It's easy for me to say that we can increase ChatGPT. It's easy for me to say that we can increase Google AI Mode.
