AI SEO is a set of activities that make you discoverable in AI – so tools like ChatGPT and others can recommend you.
Unlike traditional SEO, this is a broader discipline. It’s not just about being found on a website, but about being discoverable as a person, brand, project, or service.
AI can recommend your social platforms (like a Facebook group), videos, or articles about you from across the internet.
The key is simple – AI needs to know about you.
What else helps you get discovered in AI search:
- A clear, responsive, and up-to-date website – many traditional SEO principles still apply here. AI doesn’t read HTML structure; it evaluates how your website looks, what content it contains, and whether the information is current.
- Backlinks and mentions – AI keeps information about you in its “active memory.” The more often you appear across different platforms and contexts, the more likely it is to recommend you.
- People searching for you – once AI knows about you, it’s important to stay in its “active memory.” When others search for you, it reinforces your visibility. (You can track AI traffic in your analytics – sources may include ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)
