Professional background
O’Donnell’s professional background connects search marketing with AI consulting. Earlier public references place him in SEO and digital marketing; the January 2025 announcement describes a consulting practice focused on the operational use of artificial intelligence. Those areas overlap in business research, information analysis and the organization of digital work.
The career described here is organized around businesses and documented activities. Coffee Cup AI is identified as his current company. Crevand AI & SEO and 2 The Top Marketing are identified as past ownership roles. Exact founding, acquisition and ownership-transfer dates have not been supplied, so the timeline below uses dated announcements and confirmed speaking months instead.
The 2025 announcement locates the consulting practice in Boise. It does not establish a home address, a complete geographic service area or a present-day office address. This profile focuses on O’Donnell’s public professional work rather than personal information.
Companies and business affiliations
Coffee Cup AI
O’Donnell identifies himself as the owner of Coffee Cup AI. The company is the current business affiliation supplied for this biography, and its website is linked in the opening paragraph. That relationship is kept separate from his former businesses so readers can distinguish current work from earlier career references.
Crevand AI & SEO
O’Donnell’s supplied biography describes him as a past owner of Crevand AI & SEO. An ABNewswire announcement published January 24, 2022 identified him as the owner of Crevand SEO at that time while reporting his SEO Rockstars speaking appearance. The dated release provides a public reference for that earlier role.²
The older announcement uses the name Crevand SEO. This profile retains the user-supplied name Crevand AI & SEO for the former affiliation while preserving the historical wording when discussing that source. It does not imply that he currently owns or operates the business.
2 The Top Marketing
O’Donnell also identifies 2 The Top Marketing as a past ownership role. A March 5, 2018 PRWeb release quoted him on search-engine optimization and listed him as a media contact for the company. Its indexed text supplies a dated public connection between O’Donnell and the business; it does not establish the dates of an ownership transfer.³
Together, the two earlier company affiliations provide context for his search and digital marketing background. They are professional history, separate from the current Coffee Cup AI affiliation.
| Affiliation | Relationship in this profile | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee Cup AI | Current owner | Biography supplied by O’Donnell. |
| Crevand AI & SEO | Past owner | Supplied current status; a 2022 release identifies him as Crevand SEO owner at that time. |
| 2 The Top Marketing | Past owner | Supplied ownership history; a 2018 release documents a professional association. |

Dan O’Donnell’s AI consulting work
The 2025 consulting announcement
The January 6, 2025 release announced O’Donnell’s AI consulting service and presented business adoption as its focus. It described helping organizations connect AI capabilities to operational needs, including strategy, workflow automation, data analytics and natural language processing. The release directed readers to his personal professional website.
The announcement marks a public reference point for his AI practice. It places his work in the context of business adoption and operations, extending the search and digital marketing background documented in earlier references.
Strategy, automation and business applications
For this biography, AI consulting is the context for O’Donnell’s professional work. The relevant themes are how organizations identify useful applications, evaluate information and consider changes to existing workflows. These themes connect the service announcement to his earlier experience in search and digital marketing.
His professional websites provide the starting point for learning about current consulting engagements and areas of work. This biography records the published announcement and his supplied business affiliations.
Author and AI speaker
AI Job Loss: How To Prevent AI From Taking Your Job
O’Donnell is the author of AI Job Loss: How To Prevent AI From Taking Your Job. The book title and authorship were supplied directly for this biography. This profile does not infer a publisher, publication date, edition or ISBN that was not provided.
The book addresses the relationship between artificial intelligence and employment, complementing O’Donnell’s consulting work on business adoption, workflow change and practical AI strategy.
AI speaking services
O’Donnell’s professional services include AI consulting and AI speaking. His speaking record includes the documented SEO Rockstars appearance and the three 404con appearances listed below. Current engagement scope, availability and event terms should be confirmed directly through his professional websites.
SEO and digital marketing background
Search-engine optimization experience
O’Donnell’s earlier company references place SEO within his professional background. The 2018 company announcement and the later Crevand speaking announcement document public activity in search marketing before the January 2025 AI consulting release. They provide a sequence of references without requiring an invented start date for his career.
His past business affiliations are relevant to understanding that background: 2 The Top Marketing appears in the 2018 reference, and Crevand SEO appears in the 2022 reference. The profile uses the dates of those publications as evidence of public professional activity, not as company founding dates.
Website authority and incoming-link research
The SEO Rockstars announcement described O’Donnell presenting research on website authority and testing incoming links. That subject connects his speaking record to the analytical side of search marketing. The release records the topic and reported appearance; it does not supply enough underlying test data to reproduce or independently evaluate the research here.
The progression from SEO speaking topics to the AI consulting announcement connects two parts of O’Donnell’s professional record: work on search visibility and a later public emphasis on business applications of artificial intelligence.
Conference speaking
SEO Rockstars
ABNewswire’s January 24, 2022 release reported that O’Donnell had been a featured speaker at SEO Rockstars in Las Vegas. It associated the appearance with his work at Crevand SEO and described website-authority research as the subject of the presentation.
January 24, 2022 is the publication date of the release. It is not presented as the event date. Additional SEO Rockstars references supplied for this profile are listed on the Resources page, with their retrieval status identified.
A separate 2022 conference commentary identifies O’Donnell as president of Crevand SEO and describes his presentation as covering entity-based salience and confidence scores, categorical analysis and website-traffic evaluation. That commentary expands the documented topic record without establishing an exact event date.
404con: October 2025, June 2026 and October 2026
O’Donnell reports speaking at three consecutive 404con events: October 2025, June 2026 and October 2026. He describes 404con as an underground, invitation-only AI conference attended by digital marketing practitioners in the United States.
The three appearance months and the description of the gathering come directly from O’Donnell’s supplied biography. No public organizer agenda was available to confirm session titles or exact event days. The months are listed as supplied and are not described as three annual appearances or a fixed six-month schedule.
| Event or reference | Date information | Presentation information |
|---|---|---|
| SEO Rockstars, Las Vegas | Reported in a release published January 24, 2022 | Website authority and incoming-link testing, according to the announcement. |
| 404con | October 2025 | Speaking appearance supplied by O’Donnell; session title not supplied. |
| 404con | June 2026 | Speaking appearance supplied by O’Donnell; session title not supplied. |
