Do you have a visibility strategy? Do you have a visibility method? Maybe you don't even know what one is, but we're gonna talk about that today because it is so important to know that to be honest with you, you have something. Is it strategic enough? Is it doing what you desire it to do? That's a question you get to ask yourself. But when we look at marketing as a whole, there is no marketing without visibility. Because everything we do in marketing either contributes to our visibility or takes away from it. When we talk about posts and blog posts and being a guest on people's podcasts, maybe we have our own podcast, maybe we have a YouTube channel, maybe we aren't consistent, maybe we aren't congruent. And all of those things either add to or take away from that strategically. So when we have a visibility method or strategy, it really is what is a system that you're using to create visibility, to create brand awareness online. It doesn't matter whether you're a personal brand, whether you're a product-based business, whether you're a service provider, whether you're a course creator. It literally doesn't matter. Even if you're an offline business, there has to be something that you're creating, right? Let's say you're a brick and mortar, there has to be something that you're creating. To draw attention to you. And and and that's what visibility is. So your visibility method or strategy is simply how do you show up so people can find you? How do you show up so people can trust you? How do you show up so people can choose you and feel safe by choosing you? And here's the thing most people miss. You already have one. You have one. Whether it's intentional, whether it's accidental, whether whatever you're doing to currently bring Visibility to you and your brand. But the question is, is it working as hard as it could be? For most people in 2026, I'm going to say the honest answer is no. And here's why. Because we have many different people teaching many different things. So, for example, if you're an SEO expert, you are teaching search visibility, which is great. It is great to be searchable. If you are working with someone who is an Instagram expert, they are teaching you Instagram visibility. The same thing if it's LinkedIn, if it's TikTok, if it's Facebook, it doesn't really matter, If you're working with a video expert, then they are teaching you how to be visible on video, Which was my main core like back in the day. If you're working with a PR company, their goal is to create visibility for you. By being in front of other people's audiences or leveraging other people's audiences, whether it's articles or podcast guessing, it's it's so many different things, But it all is focused on leveraging someone else's platform. And then we have AI visibility, which is helping you be recommended by AI, which ties a lot into the SEO side of things. But again, none of these work without the other. Not congruently, not in a In a visibility strategy that works harder than you do. They all get to work together. One of the things I used to say when I would look at people's marketing strategies when I did their done for you social media organic or paid ads, we would find the holes in their in their marketing strategy. So it's like this puzzle, but is missing all these pieces, which means that people are gonna fall through those gaps, The people that you're trying to to attract, the people you're trying to drive, Trying to drive them to a certain website or product or whatever it is, they're falling through the cracks because the strategy has holes in it. And that's the way that most people's visibility strategies or methods do. They have holes in them. And it's like, how can we fill those holes? Is truly by diversifying our visibility. Now, I have been teaching diversified visibility since 2021. And I cannot see the future. However, me starting to teach that in 2021 has made all of my long term clients the work that we're doing to specifically be more visible to search and be more visible to AI ten times easier because we've always been diverse focused on diversification. And it wasn't because it was trendy, it's because it was true. You know, a lot of times if uh Facebook or a meta platform goes down, the first thing we say is, that's why you have an email list. And yes, email is is a is a form of visibility. Yes. But today I would say this is why you are searchable. This is why AI recommends you. Like having all these things in place, it doesn't matter if a platform goes down. Because you are still known. You're still recommended, you're still unforgettable in other places. And that's one of the reasons that My visibility strategy is called the Omni Method, which we teach in the Omni Group Coaching Program. And that is built to work across all layers because it can't just be your content and your feed. It can't just be your bios. It can't just be a podcast or a long uh long-term marketing strategy. It can't just be getting in front of other people's audiences. It can't just be, I'm searchable or um I'm recommended by AI, because not everyone searches the same way. So for example, in the world today. We will have people who are still like to be in control and they want to research every single thing. They are not going to listen to an AI overview. They are going to go to your platform and look at you. They're going to go to your website and look at you. They are going to do their own search and look for you. They are not going to allow anyone to make that decision for them. They are very analytical and they want to know. You are going to have people that do go to Google and they are gonna search and they are gonna come to the first AI overview of whatever it is that you do and they're going to go with that person as recommended and they're not gonna search any further. There are gonna be people who go into AI and say, tell me who to hire, because they don't want to make a ton of decisions and they're gonna hire the person that AI recommends. There are people that don't know what they don't know, so they're not searching at all. But they're on their social media platform and you come across their feed and they realize this is what I need to transform my life or make a change in my life, and they are going to buy that way. So because we have so many different ways that people are buying and they are researching and they are looking at things, if we are not diversified, we are leaving money on the table. We're leaving money on the table. And what does that mean? That means that we are not creating exactly what we could be creating. And again, I mean, leaving money on the table. Do really need to say anything else? Who wants to be leaving money on the table? No one. We want to collect all of that money. And so when it comes to really making sure that we are diversified, we also want to make sure that we have the foundation of the five C's built into that. So before any visibility method strategy can work, five things have to always be in place. And I call these the five C's of visibility. The first thing is consistency. You have to be showing up regularly enough that platforms, even if you blog, Even if you do YouTube videos, even if you do podcasts, there has to be some type of consistency. So that search newsfeeds and AI platforms know who you are. And when there's inconsistency, it creates gaps. And algorithms read that as silence. Your person sees that as, oh, are they still in business? If you haven't posted in two weeks, there's a question that's gonna come up. The second thing we wanna make sure is we have congruency. I learned congruency and how to be more congruent by running ads because if somebody landed on an ad, how many times have you ever seen an ad? You click on said ad, you go to the landing page, and you have no idea. How that had anything to do with that ad you just clicked on? Because it doesn't make sense. Congruency is a way that we lose a lot of people in ads if we're not congruent across. We want to be congruent. What do you say about yourself on Instagram? What does your LinkedIn bio say? What does your about page say? What does the article that just got published about you say? how did they introduce you to walk on that stage that you just spoke on? This has to be congruent. It has to match. You know, I've said this before. If if AI sees that, well, Chrissy says she's a visibility expert, she says here she's a visibility coach. She says here she's a visibility strategist. She says here she's a visibility know it all. She says here she's just the visible CEO. That's confusing. AI doesn't understand that all those can kind of mean the same thing and it doesn't have time to figure it out. It's incongruent in its mind. And so therefore it is not going to recommend me for visibility anything. Because there's not enough congruency there. A confused audience will not buy. A confused AI, or search for that matter, will never recommend you. And yes, I know there are a million character limits when it comes to our bios, but we gotta be as congruent as possible with the character limits that we have available. The third thing is conviction. So we have to believe deeply that. No matter what you do, that we let it come through. What is the hill you're willing to die on? What is it? Like this is the hill I'm gonna die on. Like this is what I believe so deeply. For example, I believe so deeply in June of 2026, that if you are using AI as AI profile photos, if you're using AI to do any type of video for you as creating your AI twin, you are hurting your personal brand. You are hurting your personal brand. And if you don't see it now, you may not see it now, but you will see it eventually. That's a hill I'm willing die on. Right now in June of 2026. Will I feel this way in June of 2027? Probably, but I'm just gonna say it for now. That's the hill I'm willing to die on. So what do you believe so deeply in? Because conviction is what makes someone stop scrolling. It's what makes AI understand that you are the authority, not just another person talking about it. Where is your conviction? How is it showing up? And I'll tell you this, it shows up better in video than anything else. The fourth thing is clarity. We have to be crystal clear on what we do and who we serve and who we are. What transformation we provide. Clarity is what makes your content searchable. But again, go back to the confused audience, go back to the confused AI, go back to the confused Google. It's not gonna recommend you. Clarity is clear, visible. Clarity means there's no fog. It's understandable. Have you ever got really clear on something? It felt like a million bucks. That's what your person needs to see when they look at you. vague content or trying to say something different every single day because you've you're bored with saying the same thing does not rank. It does not get recommended and it does not convert. You might get lucky but for the most part your person needs to know who you are they need to trust who you are and they need to believe who you are and the only way they're going to be able to do that is if you are clear in who you are and you are putting that out across the marketplace. And the fifth C is connection. Visibility without connection is just noise. Every piece of content you create should be building a relationship with your person. And you should know your person so well. You should talk to your people so you know what they're saying all uh you know what they're saying on a Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock. You know what they're saying, you know what they're feeling. Because you talk to them and you have that connection. We're not just throwing out messages hoping that they stick. We're putting out messages with a purpose. Connection is what turns a viewer into a raving fan. And when these five things are in place, your visibility strategy, your visibility method stops being something you have to constantly push because people will be pulled towards you because you are so solid in what you do. Your content improves, your podcast episodes are being found, your AI visibility keeps growing, your social media content keeps circulating because all of it is pointing to the same thing, saying the same message, leading with the same place. And that's what the best visibility strategies in 2026 and beyond, really before that, have in them. So I want to think about this. Are you ready to stop piecing together a visibility strategy from whatever worked a year ago or two years ago or you see somebody else doing and really be intentional, be diversified and build it around who you are and who your specific audience is? Whether you want to go really deep inside the Omni program, this is where I teach the full-on method that helps you create a visibility strategy that works harder than you do. And we do it by connecting all those pieces. Or you need to start because you're just not visible at all in your mind. I'm doing air quotes. Um, or you just don't feel like you're visible enough at all. So you need to start somewhere like the uh visibility school, which we just opened up inside of a skool community. And Again, it's a way that you can go through and do these things yourself. And um Omni, the difference is Omni has the full roadmap with coaching calls, group coaching calls that you can get feedback on and I can help walk you through some of these things. I don't know what the next step is for you, but I challenge you to join the Skool community for free and check out what all's going on in there. We just opened it up, so we're still in kind of a soft launch if you're listening to this live. But you get to get in there and decide what the next right step is for you. I want to make sure that you don't have a confused audience because they will not buy. And I want to make sure you don't have anything that is confusing AI, because then it will never never recommend you. And we get to fix both. There's places in everyone's business where we get to streamline all of this. Create it if we don't already have it, but we've got to get diversified friends. That's how we're going to stay visible and stay top of mind and be recommended and be known and be unforgettable in 2026 and beyond.
