Yardi's multifamily marketing agency to discuss the future of rental search

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- REACH by RentCafe® will showcase new, proven search strategies at the upcoming Apartment Innovation & Marketing Conference (AIM) in Huntington Beach, California, May 4-7. As the title sponsor for the seventh consecutive year, REACH continues to share the latest multifamily marketing trends, data and innovations with property management companies. 

Unpacking the search evolution: Ready, set, GEO

On Monday, May 5, REACH experts Esther Bonardi and Kyle Jones will lead a main-stage session on the future of search, focusing on the growing importance of generative engine optimization. Attendees will learn what GEO is, how it intersects with SEO and practical tips for appealing to generative engines.   

Esther and Kyle will present alongside Brooke Henderson, VP of U.S. strategic partnerships at Yext, and Melissa Brady, SVP of marketing, communications and customer experience at Fogelman Properties. The session will feature case study data from Fogelman, highlighting their success optimizing website content to appear in AI overviews.

REACH is also hosting two breakfast roundtables during the show:

• Mastering GEO: Tips to improve your content strategy
• How to market what renters want most (based on survey data)

"We look forward to sharing new, data-driven strategies during AIM," said Esther Bonardi, vice president at REACH.
