Why Second Chair
A business owner with an obsession for search.
I’m Manny Shiferaw, founder of Second Chair Growth and co-owner of Youth Bar Medical Aesthetics in Halifax. I’ve become obsessed with SEO, GEO and how AI could change the way customers find and choose businesses.
Running a business keeps that curiosity practical. Visibility needs to lead somewhere: a useful enquiry, a quote request or a new customer. I bring that owner’s perspective to helping service businesses get found today and prepare for how people may search in the years ahead.
