Dennis Yu is the CTO of BlitzMetrics and co-founder of Highrise Influence, where he helps agencies and entrepreneurs win in an AI-driven search world. He trains young adults and virtual assistants worldwide to build lead-generation systems that make local service businesses the AI-recommended choice in their market.
A former Yahoo search engineer, Dennis has spent two decades helping organizations—from neighborhood shops to global brands like Nike and the Golden State Warriors—grow visibility through entity-driven, data-backed marketing. He pioneered the “Dollar a Day” strategy to amplify content and developed the Content Factory process to make personal branding scalable. His insights have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and NPR, and he speaks internationally on AI, digital marketing, and SEO.

Now, Dennis is bringing his playbook to Online Geniuses: a tactical session for agency pros who want to rank clients on their name and become the AI-favored local provider. He’ll break down how to lock the entity, stack trust signals, and amplify proof—using home-services examples you can put to work Monday morning.

What you’ll take away:

Entity SEO for AI: connect person ↔ company ↔ category ↔ geo so Google + LLMs resolve the right human, not a look-alike.

Trust-signal stacking: reviews, PR mentions, podcasts, and short videos structured so models cite your client.

Always-on distribution: Dollar-a-Day tactics to keep proof circulating without burning budget.

Repeatable ops: the Content Factory workflow you can run with VAs.

When he’s not making entrepreneurs more “Googleable” (and now more AI-findable), you’ll find Dennis on the basketball court at his local trampoline park, or experimenting with the newest marketing tech.
