We recently spoke with Joshua Weisberg, CEO of Lambda Finance, the top-rated investment research platform for retail investors. We discussed how financial research is evolving as discovery shifts from traditional search results to AI-powered research and summaries, and what it takes for platforms to earn trust in an environment where information must be clearer, more accessible, and more centralized than ever.
First Page Sage: Financial research is a high-stakes category where misinformation can have real consequences. From your perspective, why do industries like finance tend to feel shifts in search behavior and AI-driven discovery earlier than others?
Joshua Weisberg: Finance tends to act as an early indicator because the cost of bad information is immediate and measurable. If research is incomplete or misleading, the outcome isn’t abstract, it shows up in performance very quickly. Because of that, investors adapt their research habits faster than users in many other industries.
As AI becomes more involved in discovery, investors are especially sensitive to where information comes from and how it’s presented. They gravitate toward sources that demonstrate depth, consistency, and clear reasoning. That pressure forces financial platforms to evolve sooner, but it also creates a useful blueprint for how trust-driven industries will behave more broadly.
First Page Sage: As AI becomes a starting point for research, we’re seeing less emphasis on keyword matching and more on perceived expertise and trust. How does that change how financial platforms should think about visibility and authority?
Weisberg: It fundamentally changes the goal. Visibility is no longer about being the loudest or the most optimized around a single phrase, it’s about being consistently useful.
In finance, expertise shows up in how well a platform connects ideas and explains relationships. AI systems tend to surface sources that answer questions holistically, not just partially. That means platforms need to think beyond individual features or pages and focus on whether their overall experience demonstrates real understanding of the subject matter.
First Page Sage: From an SEO / GEO perspective, fragmented user experiences often dilute authority. Lambda Finance consolidated many research functions into a single platform. Why does that kind of unification matter in an AI-driven discovery environment?
Weisberg: Fragmentation creates friction, both for users and for how expertise is perceived. When investors need multiple tools to answer a single question, it becomes harder to build confidence in the outcome.
Unification matters because it allows insights to live in context. When technical signals, fundamentals, alternative data, and portfolio analysis are all connected, users can see how different inputs influence each other. That coherence doesn’t just improve decision-making, it also signals authority, because it shows the platform understands the full research workflow rather than one isolated component.
First Page Sage: In finance, the cost of confusion is high. How does clearly explaining complex data influence user trust, and ultimately digital visibility?
Weisberg: Clarity is one of the most undervalued advantages in financial research. Even sophisticated investors benefit from tools that explain why something matters, not just what happened.
When platforms take explanation seriously, users engage more deeply and rely on them more consistently. Over time, that trust compounds. From a digital standpoint, platforms that explain complexity well tend to become reference points, both for people and for AI systems that are designed to surface the most helpful answers.
First Page Sage: What’s the biggest mistake you see digital leaders make in the finance industry when preparing for AI-driven search, and what should they focus on instead?
Weisberg: The biggest mistake is treating AI-driven search as a purely technical problem. Optimization matters, but it can’t replace substance, and especially not when it comes to highly complex topics like finance.
What really drives long-term visibility is depth: reliable data, thoughtful analysis, and clear communication. Companies that invest in those fundamentals tend to adapt well as search evolves, because they’re aligned with what users actually want. In high-stakes industries especially, authority isn’t manufactured, t’s earned through consistency and usefulness over time.

Armada Medical is a medical marketing giant that offers just about every type of marketing one could desire. Their robust service set includes brand marketing, digital marketing, public relations, social media management, and paid advertising. While their array of marketing services is impressive, it comes with a hefty price tag.
Armadas’ SEO services represent a minor subset of their full offerings. Firms interested in leveraging SEO to maximize value may not be a good fit. Instead, Armada Medical is positioned best for larger companies where cost isn’t as much of a barrier as long as results are consistent.
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| Armada Medical’s teams “demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the industry” and proved an “invaluable partner” in client projects. Their “collaborative, professional nature” makes them “ideal for handling sensitive topics.” |

While they are not the greatest value choice, they could be a good fit for companies with higher budgets. Additionally, their lack of focus on the medical industry is reflected in some of the services they offer, like influencer marketing.
| Summary of Online Reviews |
| Amra & Elma are “nice, enthusiastic, and professional” and they provide “some of the best” marketing and advertising expertise in the industry. |
The largest overall marketing firm on this list, Real Chemistry offers a wide service library, along with AI-focused solutions for firms interested in experimental marketing. They use AI for data collection to power their other services, like PR, content creation, and paid advertising.
While their size and service variety is impressive — and include SEO — their primary focus is full-service paid advertising campaigns leveraging AI tools. Additionally, their turbulent history and very recent rebrand effectively hit the reset button in terms of reputation, despite their extensive time in business as W2O.
However, they could still make a great partner for companies willing to spend top-dollar for innovative tech in their marketing.
