You’re getting clobbered in Google. You write blog posts. You fiddle with SEO
plugins. You tinker with AI prompts hoping ChatGPT will turn you into the next
Neil Patel. But Google still buries you on page 3 under Reddit threads and
listicles from people who don’t even do the work.
Here’s the truth: You don’t need more content. You need leverage. And that comes
from stacking authority—not spamming keywords.
In this session, I’ll show you:
How to turn one video or podcast into 50+ ranking assets with AI and a
VA
The “Topic Wheel” strategy that makes Google chase you
Why authority beats content—and how to steal it from your own
testimonials
The system we use to rank clients in days—without backlinks or BS
The festive season is a high-stakes moment for marketers—a time of soaring
consumer intent, but also intense competition. Amid the noise, how can brands

creative excellence with contextual precision, attention metrics, and
high-quality media environments.
Join this session to explore how data-driven insights can elevate the upcoming
Indian festive campaigns—by driving conversions today and building brand equity
for tomorrow.
Because in a crowded festive landscape, it’s not just about showing up—it’s
about showing up in the right place, at the right time, in the right context.
