Search that
moves the
business forward.

I’m Carolyn Lyden — I build SEO, AEO, and content programs that get brands found by people and by the AI engines now answering their questions.

The short version

Fifteen years leading SEO and content for B2B SaaS, global enterprises, and fast-growing brands — building the search systems, content programs, and teams that scale.

I study how search is changing and what stubbornly stays the same — how AI engines surface information, and how content structure, technical fundamentals, and brand authority shape visibility in both classic search and AI answers.

Then I turn that into clear web roadmaps: mapping intent, restructuring sites, and building content systems that answer real questions and connect to revenue. Audience-first, not product-first. More about me →

What I do

Three ways I help teams

On stage

A recognized voice
in search — and on
the future of it.

I teach audiences how to connect content to revenue, how to build search programs that scale, and how to adapt to the rapid shift toward AI-powered search. Practical, data-backed, and refreshingly free of jargon.

Topics & stages
  • 01 Content that connects to revenue
  • 02 Building search programs that scale
  • 03 Winning visibility in AI search
  • 04 Salary negotiation & pay equity

Also on my mind

I speak nationally on salary negotiation and pay equity — data, stories, and scripts that help people advocate for themselves.
