Most agencies think AI SEO is just about adding Schema markup. They are missing the main part: How AI actually connects brands to topics. Here is how ChatGPT and Perplexity decide which business to recommend: Brand Topic Connection: AI builds a mental map. If your brand isn't constantly mentioned next to your core service online, AI won't trust you. Entity Sources: AI checks structured sources like Wikidata, Crunchbase, and niche directories to verify if your business is real and authoritative. Co-mentions: If your brand is mentioned alongside top industry leaders across blogs and forums, AI treats you as a top choice. Traditional SEO helps you rank on Google. Entity optimization helps you get recommended by AI. Want my AI Brand Visibility Checklist to see if AI trusts your brand? Comment "AI" below and I’ll DM it to you!

Agree on the topic connection part. We saw the same with B2B lists: a brand gets named when third party pages describe it consistently, not when the markup is perfect.

You loved my last GSC regex trick for tracking AI search queries, and it blew up! 🔥 (If you missed it, check out the original post here: https://lnkd.in/dVhASZyp) Today, I’m sharing another 5 second GSC hack that 90% of SEOs overlook: Extracting 4+ word long tail queries. Stop filtering Google Search Console keywords manually. 🛑 90% of SEOs miss the highest-converting traffic because it’s hidden in long-tail queries. When someone searches a 4+ word query, they aren't just browsing, they are ready to buy, convert, or take action. The 5-Second Setup: Open GSC > Performance > Search results Click + Add filter > Query Select Custom (regex) -> Matches regex Paste this code: ^([^ ]+ ){3,}[^ ]+$ Why this works like magic: Uncovers Buyer Intent: Filters out generic 1-2 word clutter. Finds Fast Wins: Uncovers low hanging opportunities you can easily rank for by tweaking your H2/H3 headers. Captures Voice & AI Searches: Exposes full natural-language questions people actually ask. 📌 Pro Tip: Sort the filtered list by Impressions (High to Low) and find queries with high impressions but low CTR. Update your content with those exact phrases for an instant traffic jump!
