Part of GEOly's "GEO / AEO Expert Watch" series — meet Amanda Jordan, a quick map of their public work and where to follow them, with links to the original sources.
Who is Amanda Jordan
Director of Digital Strategy at local-SEO agency RicketyRoo and a frequent conference speaker, Amanda focuses on reviews, Google Business Profile, and entity consistency across surfaces — the groundwork for showing up in AI local recommendations.
These experts put the entity at the center: AI is not matching keywords, it is understanding "who you are, what you relate to, and whether you can be trusted." Knowledge graphs, structured data and entity disambiguation are their shared language. Their recurring focus areas include: Local SEO, AI search, multi-surface discovery.
What GEO / AEO practitioners can learn from Amanda Jordan
- Become a clear entity first: keep brand, product and people consistent across Wikidata, your site and third-party sources so AI can merge scattered mentions into one "you."
- Feed the graph with structured data: Schema.org, sameAs and explicit relationships help engines place you in the right knowledge neighborhood.
- Fact density beats rhetoric: verifiable facts, numbers and relationships are recited by AI far more readily than flourish.

What it means for brands going global
A hidden loss for global-facing brands is being split by AI into several fuzzy entities. Aligning names, categories and facts across your site, overseas socials, third-party directories and encyclopedic entries — so AI is sure "this is one trustworthy brand" — is where AEO begins.
Want to see how your own brand shows up across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers — and how you stack up against competitors? That is exactly what GEOly's brand GEO audit measures: citations, share of mentions and answer share, tracked over time.
