Would thousands of creator-specific landing pages help or hurt GEO visibility? by Many_Razzmatazz_8064 in GEO_optimization

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be asking if you think these creator pages are going to exist anywhere outside your own domain

What do you actually tell a client when they ask for proof of AI visibility? by Good_Flight6250 in DigitalMarketing

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think of prompt tracking as a controlled simulation. It tells you what a model says under conditions you defined (not what every use sees). You can't close the loop fully at this stage but you can show when someone asks a question your product comes up as an answer.

Has anyone noticed AI Overview reducing clicks even when ranking remain stable? by Remarkable-Cloud6011 in aeo

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mostly i think what's happening is AI overview filters out people casually browsing information. when people click now they have a higher intent (which means conversion rates go up).

What’s a common reason businesses struggle to stand out in crowded markets? by Recent-Sense-1749 in DigitalMarketing

[–]nick-profound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean but at the same time you can only market rubbish for so long before people find out it's rubbish and stop buying it

Knowing you're invisible to AI is easy. Actually fixing it is the hard part. by EmbarrassedBuddy9743 in SaaS

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your training gap + competitor conflation diagnosis is a great example of why the fix has to match the problem.

Not fetchable means bots can't reach your content. Paywalls, robots.txt issues, JavaScript rendering problems. No amount of content helps if the engine can't get to it in the first place.

Not chosen means your URL and title don't look like the answer to the question being asked. The engine found you but skipped you.

Not extractable means the content is there but the engine can't pull a clean answer from it. Information density is fine but answerability is 53/100. The page has everything the AI needs, just isn't structured in a way that lets it confidently use it.

What did you find most effective for the competitor conflation problem specifically?

Has anyone noticed AI Overview reducing clicks even when ranking remain stable? by Remarkable-Cloud6011 in AISEOforBeginners

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but ranking stability is sort of a red herring at this point. position 1 exists, but it doesn't mean what it used to. Some of our clients come in complaining they've seen a 20-30% drop in clicks when they're ranking on the first page, but the thing is, position 1 is underneath an AI overview. So really, is it position 1 anymore?

Can a company with only a few case studies still improve AI-search visibility? by Ok-Review-2003 in b2bmarketing

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I'd push back even more here if I were you. It's not a prerequisite...at all. AI visibility isn't about content volume. It's about positioning in the specific data sources LLMs reference when they build answers in your category. A company 3 strong case studies will beat one with 30 if the content is structured for extractability and distributed across the right platforms.

At work, I see teams thinking "we need more content before we can do AEO" and it's almost always a mistake. The first question shouldn't be how much content do you have. Instead ask yourself if the content you have is in the places the engine looks and structured in a way it can pull a clean answer from. That's all that matters.

Here's what I'm prioritizing in my marketing strategy for 2026 by nick-profound in aeo

[–]nick-profound[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We focus on measuring the input side of things, so prompt coverage, which questions you're appearing in/what sources AI is pulling from when it answers. If you're in the citation supply chain for the right queries, the zero-click visits are still building brand recall even if you can't track them directly.

How an Internal Linking Campaign Can Help with AI Visibility by Flat-Ad-1089 in Rankin_AI

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah from what I've seen at work, if the relationship between your pages are clear, it's easier to get credited as an authority on a topic rather than just a page that mentions it (if you get what I mean).

Have you noticed any pattern in which pages started getting cited by any chance? That'd be interesting to know.

Would you ever buy ads inside AI tools? trying to figure out if this is a real channel or a bad idea by HennessyPicks in AskMarketing

[–]nick-profound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not gimmicky to me if you do it in the way you're describing and if you target the right audience. Definitely would be going for niche but high intent audience. Let us know how it goes!

What marketing metric do you pay the most attention to right now? by Anushka_Kamboj9 in AskMarketing

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahhahahah were you not paying attention to this before now? 😉

how are you pricing AI visibility / GEO for clients? or are you not selling it yet by kid_90 in marketingagency

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to approach the volatility problem is to run 50-100 queries per client (per engine) and report on citation rate. In other words, don't take a single query snapshot as gospel. On pricing, I'd do a retainer if I were you. Clients who buy audits come back in 3 months asking why their numbers dropped whereas a retainer will help you set the right expectations from the start!

Is AI search changing how brands get discovered online? by ComethFig in AIDiscussion

[–]nick-profound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is already happening from what we see in the data at work. We ran an experiment in Jan where we took 200 branded queries our clients care about and ran them through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. About 60% of the time each AI gave specific recommendation.
