In this episode of Branding Momentum, I’m breaking down: Why AI trusts certain platforms and ignores others How service pros can plant themselves where the machine is looking The fastest moves you can make to show up in AI answers now This...

Your Website Isn’t Dead, But It’s No Longer the Star

We Don’t Live in Social Media Anymore. It’s Interest Media Now
Branding Momentum with Veronica Di Polo
You’re still posting for followers, but the algorithm isn’t showing your posts to them. Because in 2025, we don’t live in social media anymore. We live in interest media.

And if your business content doesn’t signal a clear topic, it’s invisible. In this episode, V breaks down: ✦ Why your posts aren’t reaching who they should ✦ How to build topic momentum that actually shows up ✦ The...
