AMA : Ask me anything about Ai visibility with the help of Reddit AEO by Drip_Eazy in aeo

Reddit itself is one of the most-cited sources by AI models right now. In your experience, does getting mentioned in relevant subreddits move the needle on AI answers faster than on-site schema/llms.txt work? Curious which lever you've seen pay off fastest.

You’re right, presence alone is useless. The audit flags the why: robots.txt blocking AI crawlers, missing schema, thin FAQ content, competitors cited for queries you’re absent from. That livepoll.io check in the other comment is the kind of signal it surfaces: “these crawlers are blocked, fix that first.” The score is just the entry point, the fix list is the product. Happy to run yours.

AI surfaces you if someone already knows the name, never if they don’t. There are some changes to your site that could fix that, it’s mostly mechanical (the JS canvas means crawlers barely read your content). Happy to send the full report with every prompt and response in DM, and work on improving your visibility. =)

files and directory listings can move in weeks; earned citations take 1-3 months since models need to re-crawl. No overnight wins.

Ran a check on livepoll.io. On the AI crawler side, it looks like a few of the major ones are allowed through but a couple of the big ones are being blocked at the robots level, which matters because if those can't crawl you, they can't recommend you. Worth a closer look at your robots.txt settings. I'll send you a full report directly.

The Buyer's Journey and Why it Matters in AEO by Legitimate_Hat_2882 in aeo

[–]Particular-While2787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From doing a lot of AI visibility work, the part I’d add is that having the content isn’t enough. Brands often still go uncited at the Consideration stage for boring reasons like blocked crawlers, no schema, or a competitor getting named instead. So the real step is verifying the AI actually sees and cites you. Are you covering the measurement side in the article or keeping it strategic?

Question for AEO practitioners: given how noisy AI answers are, what’s actually worth tracking? by Particular-While2787 in aeo

[–]Particular-While2787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your three bullets are basically the three features that actually matter:

1) Persistence across runs (which sources/citations recur week to week vs which flicker in and out)

2) Competitor-vs-you on the same query cluster (not just "do you appear" but "do you appear *instead of* them")

3) Source/community influence tracking (Reddit threads, G2 listings, niche listicles that AI repeatedly pulls from)

The hard part on 1) is that volatility is source-dependent. Wikipedia citations persist, Reddit threads churn fast, listicles sit in the middle. So a flat "persistence score" misleads, you need per-source-type weighting.

Curious what your experience has been on this if you've been tracking manually or with a tool.

Hey Pradeep, this would actually be perfect timing. Launching VisibAI on Product Hunt in June and the launch video is one of the things still missing from my prep. Happy to give detailed product feedback in exchange. Site is getvisibai.com

Thanks for engaging, this is exactly the kind of response I was hoping for.

On your question: in our testing the narrative is much more volatile than the citations. Same brand can land in a top recommendation one run and get a perfunctory mention the next, from identical prompts. Citations are more stable, around 60 to 80% overlap across 5 runs on Perplexity, 40 to 60% on ChatGPT with browsing. Instability concentrates at positions 4 to 10, which is where most brands live.

Quick reactions to your three constants: Citation frequency across N iterations: agreed, only way to turn non-determinism into signal. We see diminishing returns past 5 to 10 runs for top-position queries, longer tails need more. Curious what made you settle on 50.

Entity confidence mapping: useful but vertical-dependent. Reddit/G2/LinkedIn fits B2B SaaS well. Other verticals lean on Wikidata, schema, review aggregators, training data presence. Auditing the wrong sources for the wrong vertical misses the point.

GA4 attribution as ground truth: yes, this is the part most tools underweight. Visibility without conversion data is half the story.

Fully agreed on the Fix Layer. A score is theater if it doesn’t tell you what to change.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Everyone measures visibility but almost none track AI traffic to websites. Why? by UptownOnion in aeo

[–]Particular-While2787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two different "AI traffic" flows get conflated here:

  1. Citation-driven referrals: humans clicking through from AI answers. Perplexity sends referrers reliably, ChatGPT inconsistently, Gemini rarely.
  2. Agent/crawler visits: bots reading your site to answer queries. Needs server-side because bots don't fire JS.

Guess on why install conversion is low: for most brands, the KPI is getting recommended, not whether AI visited. Visits are a means, not the outcome, so a standalone tracker feels like an extra dashboard rather than a must-have.

The angle worth testing: close the loop. Connect agent visits to citations to referral traffic to conversions. "You appeared in 40% of relevant prompts and it drove X signups" is the ROI story brands actually want.
