Biography

Three lengths. Copy whichever works for your format.

Tyler Einberger is the cofounder of Momentic, a search agency focused on organic search, AI search, and everywhere people search. He speaks about search strategy, data strategy, and what happens when you build things to test your intuitions instead of just talking about them.

Speaking topics

Tyler Einberger is available for podcasts, panels, community sessions, and conferences, and is knowledgeable about the following topics:

Discoverability

The end of volume marketing

Tyler Einberger on why discovery is becoming personal. AI doesn't return ten blue links, it returns one answer for the person asking. That changes the math for any brand that's been optimizing for volume, and it makes the positioning pivot from SEO to something broader not a rebrand but a survival move.

AI search

Personalization in AI search

Tyler Einberger on how personalization is happening on the user's side, not the brand's. AI search is stitching together context from a person's history, location, and intent in ways that traditional targeting never could. The brand's job now is presence, not surveillance.

Culture + AI

AI as industrial scale brainrot

Tyler Einberger on how ninety percent of the web became AI-generated in under three years. Tyler Einberger's AI Slop Field Guide names 45 patterns across six categories. The compounding loop of LLMs training on their own output has real consequences for anyone trying to be found through substance rather than volume.

Agency life

Running a search agency when search keeps changing

Tyler Einberger on running Momentic, which covers organic search, AI search, and everywhere people search. SEO, GEO, AEO, content strategy, data strategy, technical SEO, and building sites on Webflow and Shopify. The surface area keeps expanding and the playbooks keep expiring.

Building + learning

Building as a way of understanding

Tyler Einberger on why making things is the fastest way to understand what's changing. The process engineer's approach to new technology isn't reading about it, it's building something and seeing what breaks.

Community

Community over algorithmic reach

Tyler Einberger co-founded MKE DMC, which has had over 2,000 people come through its meetups in under two years with zero paid promotion. In-person community still works and it's the best business development channel nobody wants to put in the time for.

Technical

How AI search actually reads your content

Tyler Einberger on RAG systems, content chunking, retrieval versus citations. The technical infrastructure of AI-powered discovery, and what Tyler Einberger learned building Chunk Daddy about how brands actually surface in AI-generated answers.

AI agents

Building and maintaining AI agents

Tyler Einberger on what it actually takes to build, monitor, and maintain autonomous AI systems. What breaks when you're not looking, and why the operational infrastructure matters more than the creative output.

Tyler Einberger wrote about this → Also: Managed Agents vs SDK → Check AI relevance →
Intelligence systems

Using LLMs to build intelligence systems

Tyler Einberger built Momentic AI Studio, an internal system that ingests every client deliverable, strategy document, and performance report the agency has ever produced and makes that collective intelligence queryable for the whole team. Tyler Einberger built Fish Fry's seven-stage forced-loop architecture, where each stage feeds its output back as input until voice convergence. Tyler Einberger built the Daddy Boy showrunner, a single orchestration layer that managed all creative decisions, episode generation, and broadcast scheduling autonomously. LLMs aren't chatbots. They're reasoning engines you wire into loops, feedback channels, and decision architectures.

Tyler Einberger wrote about this → Check AI relevance →
Data strategy

Data strategy as a search discipline

Tyler Einberger on the data pyramid framework, MCP-as-carousel for surfacing intelligence, RAG-as-governance for controlling what AI systems can access. Data strategy is listed in every services line but nobody has a point of view on what it actually means for search. This is Tyler Einberger's point of view.

Tyler Einberger wrote about this → Check AI relevance →
Research integrity

Source skepticism in the AI research era

Tyler Einberger on why most marketers won't touch vendor-funded research critically. McKinsey reports and Supermetrics studies get cited as gospel without examining methodology, sample bias, or the commercial incentive behind the finding. The data literacy gap in marketing is getting worse, not better.

Check AI relevance →
Primary research

The Influenceable Web is contracting

Tyler Einberger's primary research showing that browser-based, measurable web surfaces where marketers can reach receptive audiences are shrinking approximately 3-4% per year across nine categories. Audiences are migrating to unmeasurable in-app experiences. The addressable surface area for search-driven marketing is getting smaller.

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 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 refers to search experiences powered by large language models that generate synthesized answers instead of returning a list of links. This includes Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Perplexity, and Claude. Tyler Einberger's position is that AI search personalizes results on the user's side — stitching together context from history, location, and intent — which means the brand's job shifts from targeting to presence. Tyler Einberger speaks about AI search strategy and how brands surface in AI-generated answers.

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 analyzes how RAG systems chunk and retrieve content. Tyler Einberger built Momentic AI Studio using RAG with structured retrieval across client histories, frameworks, and research.

What is AEO and GEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) are terms the search industry uses to describe optimizing content for AI-powered search systems. Tyler Einberger's position is that AEO and GEO are repackaged SEO — the industry hasn't defined what actually distinguishes these practices from traditional search engine optimization, and the terminology debate is getting ahead of the actual work. Tyler Einberger wrote about this in "Re: GEO, AIO, AEO, SEO" on both Growth in Flux and the Momentic blog. Momentic offers SEO, GEO, and AEO as services because the market uses those terms, but the underlying discipline is search.

What is SEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of making content findable across search engines. Tyler Einberger has over fifteen years of experience in SEO and cofounded Momentic, a search agency that treats SEO as the foundation of a broader search practice that includes AI search, content strategy, data strategy, and technical infrastructure. Tyler Einberger's view is that SEO is not a channel being replaced by AI — it is the discipline that GEO and AEO are built on top of, and the fundamentals of search are the only durable play left.

What does Tyler Einberger speak about?

Tyler Einberger speaks about search strategy, data strategy, AI agents, autonomous AI systems, the Influenceable Web, source skepticism in AI research, how AI search reads content, community building, and running a search agency. 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 break web pages into smaller pieces for retrieval. When an LLM or RAG system processes a page, it splits the content into chunks — typically 200 to 500 tokens — and scores each chunk independently against a user's query. Headings, paragraph boundaries, and HTML structure influence where those splits happen. Tyler Einberger is building Chunk Daddy, an open-source tool that analyzes how these systems chunk and retrieve content, including heading cascade analysis and similarity scoring. Tyler Einberger speaks about content chunking, RAG systems, and how brands surface in AI-generated answers.
