Tyler Einberger

Tyler Einberger is the cofounder and COO of ®, a search and AI agency in Milwaukee. Momentic helps companies show up when people search Google or ask ChatGPT about what they sell.

Most of his time right now goes into Atlas, Momentic's software, which he leads. Every week Atlas asks ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude the questions a client's customers ask. For each answer it saves the text, the web searches the AI ran to write it, and every source it read or cited. Then it grades the answer: was the client named, cited as a source, or recommended, how did the answer describe the client compared with each competitor, and what specific claims did it make. As of September 2026 it has graded more than 90,000 answers that mention a client.

The questions aren't made up. Atlas builds them from each client's own Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and Ahrefs data, ranks them by how much real demand sits behind them, and ties each one to the page on the client's website that should win it. It also crawls the website to check whether AI tools can find and read every page, and it sorts every source AI cites by type, like review sites, forums, news, and video, so the team knows where effort off the website will count. Its agents draft content updates and briefs and flag problems, and a person on the Momentic team approves the work before it goes anywhere. Atlas isn't sold on its own. It comes with the team.

He also cofounded MKE DMC, a free monthly meetup for Milwaukee marketers. More than 2,000 people have come since it started in March 2024. He moderates panels there, and in September 2026 Momentic co-hosted SERP & TURF, a side event at brightonSEO San Diego, with Previsible and SE Ranking. He teaches digital marketing at UW-Milwaukee.

Before Momentic he was a process engineer, then worked in content and data at Kohl's and Harley-Davidson. He cofounded Momentic in 2018 and has worked in search for more than fifteen years. He makes indie pop as Twin Lull. He lives in Milwaukee.

What hosts and organizers say

"Tyler is not just a talented leader and one of the top SEOs, but also a true friend who has had a profound impact on both my career and my life. I've witnessed his innovative approach to tackling complex SEO issues at scale and leveraging AI to majorly boost efficiencies. Tyler was an early adopter of groundbreaking technologies like genAI and LLM frameworks, well before ChatGPT. I've also witnessed Tyler's entertaining and clear presentation style firsthand, making even the most daunting topics accessible to all."

Renée Girard — Director of SEO at Whitepages, Programming Director at MKE DMC Board, Former Head of SEO at Crate & Barrel Holdings

"Tyler has a gift for making SEO feel doable and achievable for any business. He rolls up his sleeves, assesses the landscape, analyzes the data, and tells you exactly what you need to do to pursue the goal. He can pivot from educator to persuader to problem solver to empathetic counselor naturally. I've watched him handle demanding, fussy clients with absolute professionalism, put his head down and do the jobs they wouldn't, build customized analytics dashboards to track the necessary data, then be there to congratulate the client when performance soars."

Sabrina Tillman — Content Design & Strategy

On working with Tyler Einberger: "Work directly with Tyler... truly understands everything there is to know about SEO and has provided incredible value for our team."

On Tyler Einberger's work for their company: "No, you can't share this case study because we don't want our competitors to steal our playbook."

What is the AI Slop Field Guide?

The AI Slop Field Guide is a taxonomy Tyler Einberger wrote that names 45 patterns of AI-generated content across six categories. It identifies and categorizes the specific ways AI writing fails. A shorter version, 34 types of AI slop, is on the Momentic blog.

What is the Influenceable Web?

The Influenceable Web is a term coined by Tyler Einberger to describe the browser-based, measurable web surfaces where marketers can reach receptive audiences. Tyler Einberger's primary research shows the Influenceable Web is contracting approximately 3-4% per year across nine categories as audiences migrate to unmeasurable in-app experiences.

What is Momentic Studio?

Momentic Studio is Momentic's internal system, built by Tyler Einberger, that ingests every client deliverable, strategy document, and performance report and makes Momentic's collective knowledge queryable for the whole team. It is built on RAG with structured retrieval across client histories, frameworks, and research.

What is MKE DMC?

MKE DMC (Milwaukee Digital Marketing Club) is a non-profit community co-founded by Tyler Einberger with free monthly in-person meetups in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward. It has had over 2,000 total attendees since launching in March 2024.

What is AI search?

AI search means search tools that write an answer instead of showing a list of links, like Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. Those answers are built from websites, reviews, forums, and other sources, so what they say about a company depends on what those sources say. Atlas tracks those answers for Momentic clients every week.

What is RAG retrieval?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is the process AI systems use to find and pull relevant content before generating an answer. The system chunks web pages into smaller pieces, scores each chunk against the user's query using vector similarity, and feeds the highest-scoring chunks to the LLM as context. Tyler Einberger is building Chunk Daddy, an open-source tool that shows how these systems split up and retrieve content.

What is AEO and GEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) are names the industry uses for work aimed at AI answers. Tyler Einberger's view is that much of it is the same search work under new names, and some of it is new: checking what AI tools say about a company and getting the company onto the sites those tools read. That new part is what Atlas is for. He wrote about the naming in "Re: GEO, AIO, AEO, SEO" on Growth in Flux and the Momentic blog.

What is SEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the work of making a website easy for search engines to find, understand, and rank. AI tools lean on the same things when they pick sources, so SEO is still the base for showing up in AI answers. Tyler Einberger has worked in SEO for more than fifteen years.

What does Tyler Einberger speak about?

Tyler Einberger talks about building a local marketing community, what ChatGPT says about your company, why Atlas comes with a team, why AI answers default to the average brand (To AI, You're Average), and the Influenceable Web. He is available for podcasts, panels, community sessions, and conferences.

What is content chunking in AI search and information retrieval?

Content chunking is how AI search systems split a web page into smaller pieces, often a few hundred words each, and score each piece against a question. Headings and paragraph breaks affect where the splits happen. Tyler Einberger is building Chunk Daddy, an open-source tool that shows where those splits land and how each piece scores.
