Short-form video isn’t “nice to have” anymore — in 2026, it becomes the single most important proof signal AI uses to decide whether your business is real, trustworthy, and worth recommending.
In this episode, Adam and Josh break down why AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews are shifting away from written content and relying heavily on authentic video evidence — known as proof clips — to verify the legitimacy of local businesses.
You’ll learn:
🎥 Why AI will downgrade businesses with little or no video content
🤳 What “authenticity scoring” means — and why AI trusts video over text
⚡ The 10 types of proof clips every local business needs in 2026
📱 How to record high-impact short-form videos using just your phone
🚀 How video now influences GBP rankings, AI Overviews, and LLM recommendations
🔍 Why video has become a ranking factor, not a marketing add-on
Whether you’re a plumber, café owner, gym instructor, landscaper, dentist, carpenter, florist, or cleaning company — this episode shows you how to stay visible in the AI-driven economy.
And the best part?
You don’t need a studio. You don’t need an editor. You need 10 seconds per clip and a system that works every week.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to keep your business ranking in Google and AI search… while your competitors slowly disappear.
