CEO Coaching International Welcomes GreenBanana SEO as Platinum Strategic Partner to Help CEOs Win Search Visibility in the Age of AI

MIAMI, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CEO Coaching International, the leading CEO coaching firm for growth-focused CEOs and entrepreneurs globally, proudly welcomes GreenBanana SEO as its newest Platinum Strategic Partner.

Founded in 2009, GreenBanana SEO is a three-time Inc. 5000 digital growth agency specializing in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and AI search visibility. As a Platinum Partner, GreenBanana SEO will provide CEO Coaching International's community of CEOs and entrepreneurs with access to specialized expertise designed to help companies remain visible as search undergoes one of the most significant transformations in its history.

According to the company, since consumers and business buyers are no longer relying solely on traditional Google results and are increasingly asking questions through AI-powered platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude), it is no longer enough for a company to rank — it increasingly needs to become one of the sources AI trusts, cites, and recommends.

"How customers discover a business has fundamentally changed, and most CEOs haven't caught up to what that means yet," said Randy Dewey, CEO of CEO Coaching International. "GreenBanana gives our clients a partner who understands both sides of that shift — ranking on Google today and being the answer AI recommends tomorrow. That's the kind of forward-looking expertise our community needs to stay ahead."

"Search is going through the biggest structural change I've seen since starting GreenBanana," said Kevin C. Roy, Founder and CEO of GreenBanana SEO. "For twenty years, companies competed to get onto page one of Google. Now they also have to compete to become part of the answer itself. That's why this relationship with CEO Coaching International makes so much sense. Their clients are CEOs who are constantly asking where the next competitive advantage is coming from. AI search is one of those advantages right now. Our job is to help them understand where they stand, where their competitors are beating them, and what they need to do to become more visible in both traditional and AI-driven search."

Through the partnership, CEO Coaching International clients will gain access to GreenBanana's capabilities across several areas, including:

• SEO + AI Visibility Diagnostics — evaluating how a company appears across Google Search, Google Maps, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and other emerging discovery platforms
• Competitive AI Search Analysis — identifying which competitors are being surfaced, recommended, or cited, and why
• SEO, AEO & GEO Strategy — an integrated roadmap covering technical SEO, content architecture, entity development, structured data, and AI citation readiness
• Content Credibility & Authority Development — strengthening the signals that connect content to credible companies and subject-matter experts
• Google Maps & Local Search — improving Google Business Profile optimization and local visibility
• Paid Media & Demand Generation — extending organic visibility through Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other performance channels
• Conversion & Revenue Measurement — connecting rankings, traffic, leads, and CRM data so leadership teams can evaluate marketing based on business impact, not vanity metrics

This partnership builds on an existing relationship between the two organizations: Roy previously joined the CEO Coaching International podcast for The CEO's Guide to SEO, AEO, and Humanizing Your Digital Marketing, where he discussed how search is evolving beyond traditional rankings. Roy is also the author of The Coherent Mountain: The Operator's Playbook for Winning SEO, AEO, and AI Search.
