Most wealth management firms are still relying on the same growth playbook and seeing the same 2-3% organic growth as everyone else.
That's why the latest episode of the Marketing Matchup #podcast explores what forward-thinking advisors are doing differently.
Host @JoeAnthony is joined by Eden Ovadia of @FINNYAI and Brian Thorp of @Wealthtender to cover how AI-powered marketing, online reviews, SEO, and strategic positioning are helping firms drive stronger organic growth without massive budgets or oversized teams.

Many RIAs expect a podcast episode, website refresh, or single campaign to suddenly drive new clients, but that rarely works.
In @FinPlan, @TobySalFP spoke with @JoeAnthony about why many advisory firms' marketing funnels fail. “The biggest stumbling block is that there isn't enough attention paid to the differentiation,” Joe says.
Advisors who want consistent growth need more than tactics. They need a system built around understanding the right prospects and reaching them with clear, differentiated messaging.

Our latest white paper, which examines how AI platforms surface wealth management firms, is already sparking industry conversation.
One key takeaway: firms that publish dedicated pages for specific client segments are far more likely to be surfaced and cited by AI systems.
As Gregory President @JoeAnthony explains, firms need to align both their front-end positioning and their website structure with how prospects actually ask questions in AI search environments.
The implication is clear: if AI can’t easily understand whom you serve, it’s unlikely to recommend you.
Great to see the research featured in James Rogers' @InvestmentNews piece as the industry continues to rethink discoverability in the era of AI search. Learn more: https://t.co/uIZtiMrOqJ
