AI-generated search answers draw on sources that search engines already trust. That makes authority more valuable, not less.
Citations follow credibility
Brands frequently mentioned by respected publications are more likely to be referenced in AI answers.
Mentions matter, not only links
Unlinked brand mentions in credible contexts help search systems understand who you are and what you're known for.
Original insight earns coverage
Data, expert commentary and fresh perspectives are what journalists and AI systems both look for.
