Search is changing fast — and links are still at the center of it. That’s why SEO Arcade founder Jeremy Rivera is hosting Coffee & Links: Cookeville, a free, no-pitch morning meetup for local SEOs, marketers, and small business owners who want a practical handle on link building in the AI era.

What we’ll cover
Over coffee at Poet’s Coffee in downtown Cookeville, we’ll break down the white-hat link and citation tactics that earn rankings in Google and visibility in AI answers:
- Why relevance beats domain metrics (DA/DR) for Google and LLMs
- How brand mentions & citations feed AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews)
