Direct Online Marketing’s Justin Seibert and Diego Gattesco to Speak on AI Search for Manufacturers

Seibert and Gattesco will join the U.S. Commercial Service to show manufacturers how buyers use AI tools to find suppliers.

PITTSBURGH, PA, UNITED STATES, October 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Direct Online Marketing (DOM), a digital marketing agency, announced that president Justin Seibert and Diego Gattesco, DOM’s International Growth Strategist for Latin America, will present a webinar entitled “AI Search for Manufacturers: How Manufacturers Can Get Found and Recommended by AI Search.” The U.S. Commercial Service is hosting the webinar on October 29, 2026, from 1:00 to 2:15 p.m. ET as part of Manufacturing Month. They will present with Enybe Diaz, an International Trade Specialist at the U.S. Commercial Service office in Charleston.

More B2B buyers now start supplier research in AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini instead of a traditional search engine. Some may never visit a manufacturer’s website before they build a shortlist. The webinar covers how AI search platforms discover or overlook manufacturers and which signals help those tools understand and recommend a company. The session also walks through practical steps manufacturers can take now to strengthen their online and AI visibility with buyers in the United States and abroad.

The webinar is designed for U.S. manufacturers that export or want to expand into international markets. The intended audience includes business owners and executives, sales and business development teams, marketing and digital strategy teams, and export professionals. Registration is open at events.trade.gov.
