DENVER - s4story -- Boulder SEO Marketing, a content marketing and AI SEO agency, announced that founder and CEO Chris Raulf will serve as a panelist at AgencyCon 2026, held Thursday, October 8, 2026, at 11:00 AM in the Skyline Room at the Children's Museum of Denver. The panel, "AI Automation Ideas: Tips Specifically for Agency Owners," is moderated by Jim Kreinbrink. Read the full event details.

The Challenge: Selling AI While Running on Manual

Agencies have spent two years selling AI to clients. Far fewer have turned those tools inward. The result is a widening distance between what agencies pitch and how they run, and owners absorb the cost in hours nobody bills for.

The Solution: Automation Built From the Owner's Seat

Raulf's contribution draws on BSM's own build, not theory. The agency rebuilt its operations after a 2021 core update erased 80% of its organic traffic, and the panel covers what that rebuild taught:

• Where automation returns real hours inside an agency, and where it quietly creates more work
• Building AI systems trained on an owner's own expertise instead of generic outputs
• What breaks when agencies automate delivery before they automate operations
• How our proprietary AI SEO and GEO methodology was rebuilt around a human-driven, AI-assisted model

"Look, every agency owner I talk to is selling AI to clients and running their own shop the way they did in 2019. The cobbler's children go barefoot. But the gap is getting expensive, and this room can do something about it." — Chris Raulf, Founder and CEO, Boulder SEO Marketing

The Results: What the Rebuild Produced

Boulder SEO Marketing now sees roughly 40% of new client leads arrive through AI search, a direct result of the thinking the panel covers.
