DENVER - ColoradoDesk -- International AI SEO expert Chris Raulf, founder and CEO of Boulder SEO Marketing, a human-driven AI-assisted SEO and GEO agency, will join Duda's Local AEO 2026: The AI Visibility Masterclass on July 30, 2026, as a featured speaker. The free online event gathers nine search and AI experts around a shift every local business now faces: AI is the front door for local discovery, and traditional search alone no longer keeps the phone ringing.

The Event: A Full Day on AI Search Visibility

The masterclass runs four sessions, from the state of local AEO to how agencies sell and deliver these services. The lineup includes Ben Fisher of Steady Demand, Andrew Shotland of Local SEO Guide, Liraz Postan of BrainZ Digital, Steve Wiideman, Shelly Fagin, Malte Landwehr of Peec AI, Ruan Marinho of Develomark, and Shawn Davis of Duda.

Chris Raulf's Session: Inside 68 Million AI Crawler Visits

Raulf co-presents the data-focused session with Duda's Shawn Davis at 1 PM MDT / 3 PM EDT, translating Duda's analysis of 858,000 sites and 68 million AI crawler visits into moves any business can make. His segment covers what drives AI crawlers to cite a local site, why Google Business Profile sync, schema, and fresh content compound, and where Micro SEO Strategies℠ fits.

"The businesses that win in AI search are not the ones with the biggest budgets. They are the ones that make themselves useful and easy for AI to understand. That is what I have spent nearly three decades learning, and it is exactly what this data confirms," said Raulf.

The Results: Why It Matters for Agencies and Local Businesses

With AI search set to overtake traditional search by 2028, the gap between businesses cited in AI answers and those that stay invisible widens fast. Duda's research found AI-crawled sites generate far more human traffic, form submissions, and calls than sites AI engines ignore. Raulf turns that research into a repeatable process businesses can run. Registration is open now, and anyone who cannot attend live can register for the recordings. Save your seat for the Local AEO 2026 masterclass.
