## Background

Adam has spent more than 20 years in software. He founded Agility Writer, an AI writing tool, and leads GEO strategy at ADE Marketing. In December 2025 he started LocusPilot, an AI website builder aimed specifically at local businesses.

## Why he writes this course

Building 200+ local sites produces a lot of evidence about what AI search actually rewards. Crawler logs show which bots arrive and how often. Search Console shows where AI Overview impressions land. Prompt tests show which businesses get named and which get skipped. This course is that evidence, written down for the owner who has to act on it.

## How he works

Every recommendation here has been run on a live client or test domain before it was published. Where the result was mixed, the lesson says it was mixed. Where a claim rests on a single observation, it says that too. The 

editorial policy

 explains the standard in full.

## Disclosed relationships

LocusPilot publishes this course and appears as an example in Lesson 5. The AI SEO Rainmakers link in Lesson 8 is a Skool referral link to a paid community run by Charles Floate. Neither relationship changes what the lessons recommend, and both are stated on the pages where they appear.
