65% of Their Sites Now Start This Way (Most Founders Miss It)

What if the way you build your website today is already costing you visibility tomorrow? In this episode, Sean sits down with Itai Sadan, co-founder and CEO of Duda, a website building platform designed specifically for agencies, freelancers, and SaaS platforms working at scale. Itai breaks down why AI discoverability is becoming the new SEO frontier, and why optimizing your content for platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity is no longer optional for businesses that want to be found. You will also learn how Duda handles the technical heavy lifting behind the scenes, from crawler integrations to schema creation, so the people building sites can focus on what actually moves the needle: content. If you are a founder or agency owner still thinking about SEO the old way, this conversation will change how you approach your entire web strategy.
