[Omaha, NE] — April 30, 2026 — S.R. Prater, author, small business consultant, and Certified AI Coach, will exhibit at two regional business events in May 2026: the Pitch Business Conference on May 2 and the Revive Black Business Expo, held in partnership with the Empowerment Network's Rebuilding the Village Conference, on May 8. Prater will be presenting her Amazon #1 New Release, SEEN: How Small Businesses Get Seen, Found and Chosen in AI Search.

Published in February 2026 and registered in the Library of Congress, SEEN addresses one of the most pressing challenges facing small business owners today: invisibility in AI-powered search. As consumers increasingly turn to tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and other AI assistants to find and choose service providers, businesses that are not structured for AI interpretation are being passed over — not because they lack quality, but because they lack visibility.

"Small businesses are not being overlooked because they aren't good at what they do," said Prater. "They're being overlooked because AI can't see them. That's a solvable problem — and that's what this book is about."

SEEN provides a practical framework for making businesses visible, interpretable, and trustworthy to AI search systems. It covers what signals AI uses to qualify businesses, why traditional marketing approaches are becoming less effective, and the specific steps business owners can take to get found and chosen in today's AI-first environment.

Prater brings both practical and credentialed expertise to the subject. She holds an AI in Coaching Certification from The Mindset Coach Academy, an ICF Continuing Coach Education provider, and is also a Certified Business Advisor and acquisition professional with a background spanning corporate training, technology, government procurement, and entrepreneurship.

Attendees at both events will have the opportunity to purchase SEEN, access free resources on AI visibility, and connect with Prater directly.

SEEN is available now in paperback and digital formats on Amazon and at seensmallbusiness.com.
