It's 15 days until Christmas, and Jerald's here with the gift that keeps on giving: getting your business ranked in AI search results before your competitors even know what AEO is.

In this episode, we break down Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) - what it is, why it's easier than SEO (sort of), and why 2026 is the year you need to move NOW.

Topics Covered:
- What is AEO and why does it matter for service businesses?
- Why AEO is more approachable than SEO (and why you're early)
- How AI recommendations work and why they're sticky
- Practical steps: schema markup, FAQ pages, and natural language content
- Why 2026 is the year AEO goes mainstream

Holiday shopping is stressful, but for service business owners in the Midwest, the real nightmare is the inevitable "Christmas Freeze."

In this high-energy holiday special, we discuss Murphy's Law of Home Service: why pipes always burst when the turkey is in the oven and furnaces die at 11:59 PM on New Year's Eve.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Designated Driver Analogy: Why your business needs an AI Voice Agent that stays "sober," awake, and cheerful on New Year's Eve so you don't have to be.
• The Holiday Dilemma: How to stop choosing between being the "Family Grinch" (hiding in the pantry to take calls) and losing thousands in emergency holiday revenue.
• The Only Resolution That Works: Why gym memberships fail by February, but installing a Smart Website sets you up to dominate 2026 with a fully automated front line.

Don't spend another holiday glued to your phone. Give yourself the gift of silence this Christmas.
