The Magic Berry of Reputation: Why I Love DigiMarCon and How Trust Wins in AI Search
In 2025 alone, I’ve spoken at countless DigiMarCon events. At many of them, I’ve run a simple experiment: I hand out lemons and a small red fruit called a Magic Berry. On its own, the lemon is sour. But after eating the berry, that same lemon tastes sweet.
That’s exactly what reputation does. It changes how people perceive you—how they interpret the same “lemon” of your work or your past. Instead of chasing clients or trying to impress strangers, a strong reputation makes people come to you.
After every talk, I stay until the last question is answered. That’s when the best moments happen—when people bring real challenges and get actionable answers. DigiMarCon attracts marketers who care about building long-term reputation over chasing quick wins.
And what I’ve learned from those conversations is simple: people—and search engines—are both looking for signs they can trust you. That matters more than flashy marketing, especially as AI summaries replace traditional search.
Why I Keep Saying Yes to DigiMarCon
I keep saying yes to DigiMarCon because they attract the kind of people who show up ready to learn and actually apply what they hear. Every event I’ve spoken at this year has been packed with real conversations, smart questions, and people who care about doing the work.
It’s rare to find an event series that stays focused on substance across so many locations. That’s why I keep coming back.
Fundamentals Win, Not Tricks
A lot of marketers are still chasing hacks—relying on virality or one-off hits instead of building consistent systems.
However, the most effective systems are simple and repeatable:
Show them something familiar in a new way—just like the Magic Berry turns a sour lemon sweet, clear results change how people see you.
We use the Content Factory to make this sustainable—so every client success, FAQ, or testimonial becomes an asset that builds trust.
Your Offer Isn’t the First Step
When you push your sales page before people trust you, it doesn’t work.
But when people have already seen proof—real experiences, videos, mentions from clients—your offer becomes more credible.
Think about what people are saying about you. Are you collecting that feedback and using it?
The Magic Berry moment in business is when someone experiences that shift—when they realize the work you’ve done all along was valuable, but now it feels different because trust is in place.
If not, start with this: How to Get Google Reviews
How AI Chooses Who to Show
At DigiMarCon, I did live reviews of attendee websites.
The pattern was clear:
We reviewed Joel Yi’s personal branding site live. His site ranked well because he had a detailed About page, multiple third-party mentions, and a strong Google Business profile. That kind of proof builds credibility—for both humans and algorithms.
Why? Because AI ranks trust. Just like people do:
We teach this in Personal Branding Through Authority—where we show people how to earn credibility over time.
What People Are Actually Doing
At a recent DigiMarCon session in San Diego, one business owner told me:
“I’m going to email my 10 happiest customers this week to get Google reviews. I didn’t realize how simple that could be.”
Another marketer said she was:
“Rewriting our About page to include our founder’s story and photos from our first location.”
These aren’t big moves. But they compound. Visibility follows execution.
Why Marketers Fail to Execute
The tactics are simple. The real challenge is execution.
Sending a review request, posting a short FAQ video, or following up with a happy customer is easy. Doing that every week is what separates good marketers from great ones.
Most people want the sweet outcome without realizing that the ‘berry’ is the consistent, boring stuff—like sending follow-ups, tagging reviews, and repurposing small wins.
At DigiMarCon, I opened our Content Factory SOP in front of the audience—walking through the step-by-step process of how we tag reviews in Google Sheets, assign them via our Task Tracker, and convert them into blog snippets and reels.”
One of our clients turned a single Facebook review into 12 content assets across YouTube, Instagram, and their weekly newsletter.
I showed them exactly how we do it—step-by-step in our SOP, using real tools and client examples.
How to Stand Out—Quietly
You don’t need to be flashy. Consistency and value win attention over time.
You need to:
When people trust you, they’re more likely to buy, share your content, and refer you—even if a competitor charges less.
The Shift That Changes Everything
Reputation is your MagicBerry. It changes how people experience everything you say and do. What might have seemed average or overlooked before suddenly carries weight—because people believe you.
When that shift happens, you don’t need to convince. You don’t need to chase. The same content, the same service, the same story hits differently.
That’s the moment people start calling you instead of the other way around.
Want more visibility? Focus on proof. Build habits that earn trust. Do that long enough, and even the sour stuff starts tasting sweet.
