The Story
Maggie Mae is a distinguished product and technology leader with over 15 years of experience in the mortgage and fintech industry. Known throughout the industry as the "mad scientist of mortgage marketing," she has built a career on transforming how businesses connect with their audiences through technology.
Starting as a Junior Loan Officer in 2008 during the financial crisis, Maggie learned firsthand the challenges businesses face in reaching customers. This experience shaped her approach: use technology to solve real problems for real people.
At Absolute Mortgage, she led marketing efforts that grew the company from 3 to 14 locations in just 18 months. Later, at Top of Mind Networks, she built and enhanced the Surefire CRM platform, expanding MLS coverage to over 650 boards across all 50 U.S. states.
Why Ask and Be Found?
After years of watching AI transform how people search for information, Maggie recognized a fundamental shift: businesses optimized for Google weren't showing up in ChatGPT, Claude, or AI Overviews. She founded Ask and Be Found to help businesses navigate this new landscape through AI Engine Optimization (AEO), schema markup, and structured data strategies.
