Eric Ritter
With Ray Brehm, Host of the AI Catalyst Summit 2026
In this Expert Session, Eric Ritter unveils the seismic shift transforming how brands are discovered online—and how you can become the AI’s top choice.

As the SEO Sommelier, he works nationally with growth-minded businesses to fix broken marketing systems. Most businesses aren’t lacking spend; they’re lacking alignment.
