Community Highlights: Meet Cyril Peretti of LikeSocialBiz

Today we’d like to introduce you to Cyril Peretti.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?

I started my career with a passion for technology, design, and helping businesses grow. In 2014, I founded LikeSocialBiz (LSB) with the vision of helping businesses build a stronger digital presence and connect with their customers in a more meaningful way.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with businesses across different industries, from hospitality and retail to technology, real estate, and professional services. What started as a small digital marketing initiative has grown into a global agency serving clients in the U.S., Latin America, and beyond.

Today, my focus is on combining **digital marketing, SEO, AI, branding, and technology** to help businesses not only get noticed online, but also generate real opportunities and sustainable growth.

What I enjoy most is turning ideas into practical strategies and building long-term relationships with the people behind the businesses I work with.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?

It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Building a business from the ground up comes with constant challenges, especially in an industry that changes as quickly as digital marketing and technology.

One of the biggest challenges has been **adapting to change**. Over the years, we’ve seen social media, Google, advertising platforms, SEO, and now AI completely transform the way businesses reach their customers. Staying ahead means constantly learning, testing new strategies, and being willing to evolve.

Another challenge has been **building trust and proving value**, especially as a small agency competing with much larger companies. We learned that the best way to overcome that is through results, transparency, and strong relationships with our clients.

There have also been the normal challenges of entrepreneurship—managing cash flow, finding the right people, balancing multiple projects, and making difficult decisions when things don’t go as planned.

Those challenges have ultimately shaped how I approach business today. They taught me to stay flexible, keep learning, and focus on creating **real, measurable value rather than simply following trends**.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
LikeSocialBiz (LSB) is a digital marketing and technology agency founded in 2014. We help businesses build their digital presence, attract the right audience, and turn online visibility into real business opportunities.

Our services include **SEO, AI-focused search optimization, Google and Meta advertising, social media management, content creation, branding, website development, and digital strategy. We work with businesses across industries including hospitality, retail, real estate, technology, fashion, and professional services.

What sets us apart is that we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We take the time to understand each business, its audience, and its goals, then build a strategy around what will actually move the business forward.

We are also focused on the next evolution of search. As people increasingly use AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity to discover businesses and make decisions, we help our clients build the digital authority and content needed to be visible in this new environment.

What I’m most proud of is that LSB has grown through relationships and results. We’ve been able to build long-term partnerships with clients while continuing to evolve alongside the technology and platforms that shape digital marketing.

At the end of the day, our goal is simple: help modern businesses become more visible, more credible, and more competitive online.

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I believe the next 5–10 years will completely redefine digital marketing. The biggest shift will be from traditional search and social media toward **AI-driven discovery.

People are already asking AI platforms questions instead of simply searching Google, and I expect this behavior to grow significantly. Businesses will need to think beyond traditional SEO and focus on becoming a trusted, recognizable source of information across search engines, AI platforms, social media, and other digital channels.

I also believe **AI will become a core part of marketing operations. It will help businesses create content, analyze data, personalize customer experiences, automate repetitive tasks, and make faster decisions. However, I don’t believe AI will replace creativity or strategy. The businesses that succeed will be the ones that combine technology with authentic human insight.

Another major shift will be toward quality over quantity. As AI makes it easier to produce content, simply publishing more will no longer be enough. Expertise, credibility, original ideas, strong branding, and real customer experiences will become increasingly important.

For LSB, this represents a major opportunity. We are evolving from being simply a digital marketing agency into a partner that helps businesses build **digital authority across both traditional search and the emerging AI ecosystem**.

The next decade will be less about *“How do I rank on Google?”* and more about:

“How do I become the business people—and AI—trust when they’re looking for an answer?”
