Instead, there\u2019s a lot of noise from agencies and service providers selling tactics such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inclusions in \u201cbest of\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/what-to-know-about-listicles\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">listicles<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Mentions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/how-reddit-drives-genai-visibility\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on Reddit<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Improving traditional organic rankings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Collectively, such tactics are helpful. Individually, none will improve visibility across a range of prompts and large language models.<\/p>\n<p>LLMs are much more complicated than that. Visibility <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/how-genai-platforms-generate-answers\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">involves<\/a> two key components:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>LLMs must know the brand \u2014 what it does and how it\u2019s different from competitors.<\/li>\n<li>The brand should appear across websites used by LLMs to create responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cLLM consensus\u201d is the term of industry practitioners for a brand positioned across multiple sources. I know of no single tactic to achieve it.<\/p>\n<h3>Consistent messaging<\/h3>\n<p>Visibility on generative AI platforms starts with consistent, clear brand descriptions across all ranking pages. An LLM consensus audit can help by addressing a brand\u2019s:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On-site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/use-page-build-trust-first-time-visitors\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">about-us pages<\/a>, which tend to be outdated and lack essential details.<\/li>\n<li>Social media profiles.<\/li>\n<li>Local reviews from Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, Trustpilot, and the Better Business Bureau.<\/li>\n<li>Business directory listings.<\/li>\n<li>Other pages mentioning the business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Essential, consistent details across all URLs include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Years in business (or, even better, the launch month and year).<\/li>\n<li>Physical address.<\/li>\n<li>Partnerships, especially with known entities.<\/li>\n<li>Awards, recognitions, and milestones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Including a company description with specifics will help it stand out in the training data, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Family-owned,<\/li>\n<li>Manufactured in the U.S.,<\/li>\n<li>Locally farmed,<\/li>\n<li>Dates of awards and recognitions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Repeating such unique identifiers across the web will help the brand appear in genAI training data and thus in relevant answers.<\/p>\n<h3>Visibility gaps<\/h3>\n<p>The next step is to identify the on-topic answers that do not cite your brand. Study the tactics of the most-cited domains and URLs. Enterprise businesses should aim for visibility across a range of prompts. Smaller brands can focus on 10 or fewer prompts. <a href=\"https:\/\/peec.ai\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Peec AI<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amadora.ai\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Amadora<\/a> can reveal the competing citations, as can manual prompting and analysis.<\/p>\n<p>For target prompts, note:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most-cited domains, such as Reddit and YouTube. Create a visibility strategy for those.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Most-cited URLs, such as listicles on established domains. Reach out (via careful relationship-building) to those authors and editors to request your brand\u2019s inclusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>None of these steps is easy. Results can take months or even years, as there\u2019s no quick fix for consistent citations, despite assurances from agencies and tool providers. Short-term manipulations are often counter-productive in my experience.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, keep an eye on your brand\u2019s AI visibility using the clear metrics <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/better-metrics-for-ai-search-visibility\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I\u2019ve outlined<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-2\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"81650\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"no\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s no clear playbook for elevating visibility in AI answers.
