The Visibility practice: When they ask the machine, it should say your name..

Which Visibility posts are in this archive?

Voided ad tiles in shadow and a lime beam hitting a 21+ license card. AI Visibility

Cannabis visibility when the ad accounts are banned

Google and Meta will not take the usual spend. The models still answer dispensary, cultivator, and brand questions — if the site can be read and the cart can clear a 21+ order.

A local shop nameplate in a lime beam beside a dim generic franchise badge. AI Visibility

When ChatGPT names the franchise, not your shop

Run the best-HVAC-near-me prompt panel. If the model names a national franchise, fix corroboration and entity facts — not another blog calendar.

A scuffed work smartphone with a blank glowing circular button. Thesis: GET CITED BY PERPLEXITY SPECIFICALLY. AI Visibility

How do I get cited by Perplexity specifically

Allow PerplexityBot, put a liftable answer and unique numbers in HTML, then log numbered sources on a frozen prompt panel. There is no bought citation rate.

A lime beam hitting a small brass nameplate. Thesis: BELONGS AI VISIBILITY MONTHLY RETAINER. AI Visibility

What belongs in an AI visibility monthly retainer vs a one-time audit

A one-time audit is the baseline plus prioritized fixes. A monthly retainer is prompt-panel tracking, entity hygiene, page jobs, and citation recovery.

A cloth-bound blank encyclopedia. Thesis: WIKIPEDIA WIKIDATA HELP AI RECOMMEND. AI Visibility

Does Wikipedia or Wikidata help AI recommend my brand

Wikipedia is not a paid AI lever. Notability plus independent sources decide the page; a real Wikidata item helps entity consistency, not a promotional stub.

32 MIN
A lime beam hitting a small brass nameplate. Thesis: SHARE VOICE AI ANSWERS MEASURE. AI Visibility

What is share of voice in AI answers, and how do I measure it

Share of voice in AI answers is your mention and citation slice versus a frozen competitor set on a frozen prompt panel, split by engine — not classic SEO SOV.

27 MIN
A lime beam hitting a small brass nameplate. Thesis: BACKLINKS STILL MATTER AI VISIBILITY. AI Visibility

Do backlinks still matter for AI visibility

Yes. Backlinks still help crawl, ranking, and entity corroboration. They are not an AI citation API. Mentions on retrieved pages beat bought DR packages.

31 MIN
A lime beam hitting a small brass nameplate. Thesis: NEED FAQ SCHEMA SHOW UP. AI Visibility

Do I need FAQ schema to show up in AI Overviews

No. FAQ schema is not a ticket into AI Overviews. Google's floor is indexed and snippet-eligible; visible Q&A helps extraction. FAQ JSON-LD does not buy a cite.

22 MIN
A lime beam hitting a small brass nameplate. Thesis: MUCH MARKETING BUDGET SHOULD GO. AI Visibility

How much of my marketing budget should go to AEO vs traditional SEO

There is no universal AEO vs SEO percentage. Split by informational, brand, and commercial mix — fund citations without starving ranking and technical work.

31 MIN
A lime beam hitting a small brass nameplate. Thesis: SHOULD OPTIMIZE ZERO CLICK SEARCH. AI Visibility

Should I optimize for zero-click search or fight it

Optimize for citation and brand capture on informational queries. Fight only when a protectable commercial URL is being stolen, not every zero-click result.

24 MIN
A lime beam hitting a small brass nameplate. Thesis: E E T SIGNALS ACTUALLY. AI Visibility

What E-E-A-T signals actually move AI citations

AI citations follow extractable proof: named authors, matching entity facts, original numbers, and third-party mentions — not a hidden E-E-A-T API score.

34 MIN
A brushed metal coupon. Thesis: GET PRODUCTS RECOMMENDED AI ANSWERS. AI Visibility

How do I get products recommended in AI answers and AI Overviews

To get products recommended in AI answers, ship unique specs in HTML, matching Product schema, consistent reviews, and a Merchant Center feed that agrees.
