Founder, Clickmill.co | GetLocalLeads.ai | Pioneer in AI Visibility & Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Brett Henderson is the founder of GetLocalLeads.ai and a recognized authority in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and AI Visibility—helping mission-driven organizations and local-first institutions win attention in a world where discovery is increasingly mediated by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. He partners with private schools, church networks, and values-based organizations to engineer the digital infrastructure that turns online attention into real-world outcomes: more qualified inquiries, higher enrollment yield, stronger donor pipelines, and sustained community growth. He also serves as a strategic partner to private equity-backed franchise groups and national marketing agencies, bringing the same rigor and execution standards across every engagement. With over 10 years of experience architecting digital strategies for nationwide brands and global organizations including The Salvation Army, Henderson blends deep operational expertise with a first-principles approach to growth. He has led and trained high-performance marketing teams to execute complex campaigns, managed over $10 million in Google Ads spend, and overseen content operations that have reduced client costs by millions annually. Rather than treating AI search as a simple “SEO update,” he approaches it as a strategic paradigm shift—then builds systems that help organizations remain discoverable, credible, and chosen. Henderson’s methodology is backed by proven execution. Before founding GetLocalLeads.ai, he built Clickmill.co from the ground up using the same proprietary content frameworks he now deploys for clients. He scaled the niche ministry platform to 41,000+ monthly active visitors entirely through organic search—demonstrating a core thesis behind his GEO approach: high-value, structured content—engineered correctly—can capture massive attention without dependence on paid media. Today, he advises 7-figure agencies and growth-minded leaders on navigating the “Zero-Click” future, helping them transition from traditional SEO to AI Visibility while maintaining measurable performance. His work is driven by a commitment to solving the hard problems of modern marketing—so schools and churches can grow with clarity, integrity, and resilience during the largest discovery shift in a generation. Henderson has equipped over 10,000 students across 143 countries with digital strategy training and is the author of multiple books, including The Digital Ministry, Resolving the Free Will Dilemma, and Resolving the Problem of Evil. He lives in Tennessee with his wife and children, where he continues exploring the intersection of faith, technology, and complex business and philosophical systems.
