Came across a helpful guide suggesting practical steps for entrepreneurs to increase their content's visibility with Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI search results. The source recommends running an "LLM visibility sprint" on existing, high-value pages rather than always starting from scratch. Here are a few interesting takeaways mentioned in the source for making your content AI-friendly: * Focus on Answers: Revamp your content by leading with a brief summary (TL;DR) and adding clear FAQs, comparisons, and tables. The key is to provide structured answers to potential questions. * Build Trust: Ensure your pages include "trust signals" like fresh dates, author bios, citations, and proof, as this helps LLMs (and users) determine credibility. * Use Structure: Organize content with clean headings, scannable lists, and schema markup (structured data) to make it easier for LLMs to understand and use. * Test as a Buyer: The source suggests testing your pages by asking questions directly in AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude. If your page doesn't appear in the answers, you should fix the content and re-test.

Hi AEO Community, As part of our research efforts, we're looking to get detailed Query/Answer analysis out for you all to check out so we can figure out together what matters to become the answer in specific queries in our market. Here's a sample report of "Future trends in artificial intelligence and business" we ran it through three of the main Answer Engines that we've selected for our research: ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google's AI Mode. We analyzed the cited URLs, website types, and traditional authority metrics to try to understand how these answer engines cite their sources and how we, as business owners and entrepreneurs, can get in the sources and become the answer.

This AMA (Ask Me Anything), led by a Reddit marketing veteran from OGS Media, highlights the unique nature of Reddit as a platform that requires a different approach than traditional social media. The key to success on Reddit lies in authentic engagement, community understanding, and long-term relationship-building, rather than short-term promotions or ROI-focused tactics. Key Takeaways: Biggest Mistake Brands Make: - Brands often treat Reddit as just another marketing channel, focusing on ROI rather than understanding the platform’s culture and community dynamics. - Success on Reddit requires understanding how subreddits function as unique communities with their own rules and expectations. Why Traditional Social Media Strategies Fail: - Reddit is more about engaging in conversations than promoting products. - Unlike platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn, Reddit is not a megaphone for brand exposure but a place for meaningful interaction and problem-solving. Do’s and Don’ts for Reddit Success: Do: Become a genuine Redditor, engage authentically, and build relationships. Don’t: Hand Reddit to marketing teams focused on short-term metrics like clicks and conversions. Timeframe for Success: - Meaningful impact on Reddit typically takes 6–12 months of consistent, authentic engagement. - Some brands see results in as little as 3 months, especially with strategic content placement. Product Promotion: - You don’t sell products on Reddit directly; instead, solve problems and help users. - Mention your product only when it’s a natural solution to a problem they’re facing. 90-Day Strategy for New Brands: Month 1: Learn the platform, join communities, and immerse in discussions. Month 2: Start authentic engagement within your industry communities. Month 3: Develop and strategically time content based on community needs. Authenticity and Handling Criticism: - Avoid defensiveness or arguments. Respond with human-like empathy and humility. - Apologize when necessary and show willingness to engage as a real person, not just a brand.
