Take a moment to look through the Market Research Prompt Guide PDF. Marshall’s Guide is a particularly useful takeaway from the workshop, created specifically for arts and cultural organizations. The guide uses a prompt to help you uncover the questions people in your area are actually asking, identify information that is missing or difficult to find on your website, and pinpoint the questions your organization is best positioned to answer. It also turns those findings into a practical content plan and four clear sentences you can use consistently across your online presence.

The presentation from this session is available below as a resource to revisit and put into practice. For arts organizations, AEO offers a useful way to think about how your programs, mission, artists, and community impact are represented online and how that information can be understood by emerging AI-powered search tools. Use the presentation as a reference as you review your own digital presence and identify opportunities to make your work easier to discover and understand.
