For your. Easy way to get your brand recommended by AI is to show up in the search.
And at least right now, for the most part, current AI models are just going to parrot back whatever they find in those searches. But with newer models because of course, in addition to what the models find is also they already know about your brand and your competitors brand.
We call this their primary bias. Now, right now their primary bias does influence what kind of searches they do and how it evaluates the results of those searches.
It just doesn't carry you nearly as much weight as what it finds in the searches and it's much harder to influence. The only way to influence the primary players is to actually show up in the trade.
So instead of just targeting a few specific searches, you have to be prominent across the internet...
trust the sources that are being used for grounding. Because Google still accounts for over 90% of AI search.
I don't think that's changing anytime soon. I still think the best thing businesses can be focused on is showing up in those search results.
