To get AI to mention your brand, you should give the clearest, most useful answer to the exact question people are asking. AI often pulls from high-ranking Google results, and while some brands appear without this, building the best answer gives you the most reliable path.

In summary - you need thoughtful content (the first half of my 6 word marketing strategy).

DIY the steps below - or, if you’d rather skip the trial and error, this is exactly what our AI Authority Package delivers.

✅ Who this guide is for

Owner-led SMEs and in-house marketers who want measurable leads.
Service businesses (law, finance, recruitment, trades, agencies) competing in a local or niche market.
Teams willing to publish at least one clear, honest, numbers-backed page and keep it fresh.

❌ Who it’s not for

“Publish-and-pray” content or brand-only campaigns with no intent to measure outcomes.
Anyone unwilling to share methods, proof or prices (AI won’t cite vague claims).
People looking for AI “hacks” instead of building the best answer on the web.

Why AI mentions matter (and how they happen)
Pick the exact question you want to own
Make a page/blog worth citing
Make it “AI-friendly” (checklist)
Next steps (and how to know if it worked)

1) Why AI mentions matter (and how they happen)

Answers are now written by AI. If your business isn’t mentioned, you disappear.

When AI mentions you, it’s a signal you’re doing something right. People increasingly skip the SERP (search engine results page) and trust the AI’s single answer. Ahrefs found traffic from AI answers convert 23x higher than organic search. If your brand is in that answer, you catch buyers at the exact decision moment. If you’re missing, the AI is often recommending your competitor.

AI tools aim to be the answer, not a list of options. They collapse the SERP into one confident response and often pull from the page already ranking #1. So your job is simple (not easy): own the answer.

2) Pick the exact question you want to own

Start with a bottom-of-funnel, buyer-intent question you should win.

Effective options (pick one):

“Best [service] in [location] for [persona]”
“[Service] cost/pricing in [location]”
“[Service] vs [Service] in [industry] - which is right for me?”
“Who is the right [service provider] for [specific use case]?”

Rule of one: one page = one question. If you answer five questions, you answered none.

3) Make a page/blog worth citing

Bottom line: Write something clear, structured, and useful that an AI would quote.

Pick one real question your buyer asks and write a plain 600–1,000 word answer. Start with the answer, add a few specifics (rough range/scope, who it’s for, one example), and include your name, location, and “Updated: [date]”.

4) Make it “AI-friendly” (checklist)

AI needs to be 100% sure who you are and what your page is about.

Use clear, specific headings.
Keep answers short and direct.
Add one useful stat, chart, or example.
Link to credible sources.
Refresh content regularly.

5) Next steps (and how to know if it worked)

So, you've put the work in. Now what? Well, it's time to check...

Ask the question in ChatGPT (web on), Gemini, and Google’s AI box.
Spot your brand. In the answer or the citations. If yes → win. If no → fix and try again.
Test like a stranger. Incognito, logged out, right country selected.
Screenshot it. Note the date and which AI you tested.

Bonus: get AI to improve your content

Copy-and-paste these prompts after you publish. Replace the bits in [brackets].

Neutral check “Act as a neutral researcher in [country/region]. For ‘[exact question]’, which pages give the clearest, current answer? Cite sources.”
Summarise mine “Summarise [your page URL] in ~120 words for a small business owner. Include one number and clear next steps.”
What’s missing “Read [your page URL] and list 3–5 things that would make it more trustworthy (e.g., numbers, examples, dates, author).”

Tip: Run these in ChatGPT (web/browsing on) and Gemini, set the right country, then tweak and recheck next week.

Be the brand AI recommends. Our AI Authority Package builds the cite-worthy page, adds the right signals, and verifies results across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google’s AI.
