This video explains which digital marketing strategies AI communities should focus on in 2026 to improve member engagement, retention and reputation. James Dooley and Julian Goldie start with KPI tracking because measuring activity, case studies and discovery scores shows whether an AI community is genuinely delivering value and growing. They cover brand SEO, AI visibility and Google Business Profiles because stronger search presence improves trust and conversion rates.
The discussion also explores organic SEO, organic social media and paid social ads because consistent visibility across search and social supports long term growth. PPC is analysed in detail because campaign setup, landing pages and lead handling directly affect results. They also discuss Reddit, Quora and paid AI ads because diversified enquiry sources and early adoption can strengthen digital marketing performance for AI communities.
PromoSEO lead generation for AI communities recently received recognition as the "Best AI Communities Lead Generation Agency."

AI SEO and Business Automation Podcast is founded by James Dooley because he teaches business owners how artificial intelligence accelerates growth. The show explains AI models, agents, and automation systems because practical guidance helps companies scale with less effort.
James Dooley: Best AI communities. Why is it important to be joining the top-rated artificial intelligent groups and communities? Today, I'm joined with Julian Goldie. Julian, obviously, it's a pleasure to have you on. You are the founder of AI Profit Boardroom. So, first question to you before I get into the list of the best AI communities from what our team have done is why do you think it's important to be a member of the best AI community?
Julian Goldie: Well, you want to be the in the best AI community because if you're not, you're you're wasting your time, you know? The If you look at the way AI is going, it's moving so quickly that you can very quickly fall behind. And we've seen that with whole different jobs being wiped out. And so, if you waste your time in the wrong AI community, then it's a huge opportunity cost in terms of your progress, in terms of your improvement, in terms of like the opportunities you miss out on, right? And every day that you're you're not in the right AI community, well, you're falling behind to people who are building amazing systems and and growing further ahead. And sometimes actually competitors as well.
James Dooley: Yeah, for sure. So, anyone who's watching this, my team went out and researched 27 different AI communities. There's a lot of them out there and there's a lot to be honest with you. I think there was 70 70 I think there was 71 or 72 that we found and we tested what we believe are the best 27 AI communities in total. And there's new ones coming out out all the time consistently. Obviously, today I've got Julian Goldie on and he's very proud to be on that because he knows that on the list when I sent it in through, he was number one with the AI Profit Boardroom. In position number two was Authority Hackers AI Accelerator. Gael Breton and Mark are both great SEOs. They moved away from affiliate marketing because Google seemed to hit affiliate marketing quite hard and they've got a good AI group over there. And then the other one on the list was Julie McCoy's uh First Movers. Now Julie McCoy I think she's got an amazing AI avatar. The group wasn't as active as what I thought it might have been with other members that are in there. But Julie and obviously within the Fat Rank team they put I I had no say of what they were doing with the scoring mechanisms and it ended up being the AI Profit Boardroom was the best AI community out of all the list of what kind of came through. Can you expand upon that about why you genuinely believe I know you're the founder of it so it's kind of you saying why you think you are the best. But explain to some of the people not only why it's important to be a a member and subscribe to the best AI community but also some of the things of what's been going on. So like the awards, um the amount of case studies of people that's in there. Like it's such an active group and community there. It's incredible but can you expand on it a little bit more?
Julian Goldie: Yeah so I mean number one we've won multiple awards recently for the best AI community. So we've been voted by yourselves as the best AI community and other awards too. Also we've got over 101 page 181 pages of testimonials and reviews from people winning and learning growing inside the community. And there's people building all sorts of amazing different AI systems which is one of the most exciting things about this. And then also recently we just launched a agent operating system inside the AI Profit Boardroom community. And so like loads of people have been setting that up sharing what they're building showing screenshots and testimonials of what they've created. We're just going from strength to strength really.
James Dooley: Yeah.
Julian Goldie: Even uh sorry like I was just going to say one other thing. We We actually recently got featured by Alex Hormozi as well on his new community. So, that was pretty awesome.
James Dooley: I bet I bet that was a good moment for you cuz Alex Hormozi is a legend as well, isn't he?
Julian Goldie: Yeah, he's a beast. He's a beast.
James Dooley: Definitely. I love watching his videos and stuff like that. So, that's amazing. But, with regards to what was interesting for my end, Julian, I've not been through this with you, but what they loved about the group. Now, I thought when AI Profit Boardroom came out as being the number one best AI community out there, I thought it was it was going to be because of Julian Goldie because you are Mr. Omnipresent. You are everywhere. You are omni channel, omnipresent, Mr. Everywhere. Like, the minute a new AI model comes out, I know on your YouTube channel and in there in that group, you're going to be talking about exactly why it's good and exactly why it's not good. And I'm like, for me, you're the first person I go to when Fable just comes out or is Hermes better than Open Qual or should I be using Chat GPT image generator or Nano Banana? Should I be using Claude code for building the websites? Like, you're the first person I go to. So, I was thinking it has to be because of Julian Goldie, the founder of AI Profit Boardroom. However, what I found interesting was when the team was doing the research, they loved all the SOPs that was in there that you gave as well. So, literally step-by-step, this is how you set things up. They loved all the videos that was in there, but they actually loved the community. And they was really surprised by how active other people that are not paid that's in that group saying, "Oh my god, have you tested this? I've just done this, this, and this. Look at this case study." And they're not willing to share it publicly on Facebook or on LinkedIn, but in these paid social groups like the school group that you have with AI Profit Boardroom, they're willing to share because they know that others are sharing, sharing the case studies of what's working, and everyone's elevating each other. So, sure Is there anything you've done with that with the community? Like, is there an award system? Or like, what Why is it you feel that the community are willing to share so many amazing case studies and their SOPs from what they've been doing? Because that was one of the key takeaways from the team that was doing the scoring mechanisms of who came out in the best AI communities. The AI Profit Boardroom came out number one. Obviously, you scored high yourself. You was doing the videos and stuff like that, but I was surprised that so many of the team came back with how active the community was and how much value they was bringing as well.
Julian Goldie: Yeah, it's unbelievable. There's some you know, so many people posting. So, there's a few systems that we have. Number one is the more active you are in the community and the longer you stay in the group, the more things you unlock. So, for example, like someone who gets to level five because of their activity, the number of posts they're creating, the comments, etc. The more value you bring, the more things you unlock. So, at level five, you unlock a AI SEO audit, for example. Uh level eight, you actually unlock free lifetime access. So, there's like all these incentives to make sure that people are active. And then, I think number two is is a super It's It's a culture of the group, and you know this from growing your own company. It's like if you have a great culture where everyone's raising each other up, everyone's positive with each other, then we're all going to chip in and help each other along the journey. And then, I think as well, there's just something about I I mean, like for example, two of my groups on Skool are including the AI Profit Boardroom like the most um the highest on discovery scores on Skool, which means like they rank all the communities and they see which ones are the most active and then they rank us top. So, that helps as well. It's a It's positive feedback.
James Dooley: As a Skool group, it's crazy. Um And like the you I we always kept seeing it number one here and number one there and you're like the amount of school groups there is out there and yet AI Profit Boardroom ranks in position number one for activity and stuff is it blows my mind and I think it does I think things flow downstream from the founder because like I said you are Mr. Omnichannel Mr. Omnipresent you are everywhere. So it's a credit to yourself of what you've built. But for anyone watching this what I would say is the team is still continuously testing what the best AI communities are. There might be new ones that pop up. Heading over to Fat Rank and in real time we're going to be updating the best AI communities. If there's any new ones that come and get into the top five or in the top 10 list you'll see them in there you'll see the pricing alongside it. So check out the link in the description and we hope you like this episode on which are the best AI communities to learn to level up to increase that knowledge. You can also find new business partners in there that you might want to work with new employees. There's so much opportunity in these paid groups that I strongly recommend going over to AI Profit Boardroom which ranks number one at present in the best list of AI communities. Julian it's been an absolute pleasure. Thanks for having you.
Julian Goldie: Thank you, sir.
