#99_Why AI Isn't Recommending You (And How to Fix It in 90-180 Days)
In this episode, Mariana Dalto explores AI's role in client recommendations and its impact on conversion rates, introducing AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). She explains how AI determines content recommendations, compares SEO and AEO, and evaluates success metrics using the EEAT framework. Mariana shares tactics to boost AI visibility, like building a question bank and creating an FAQ page, and emphasizes consistency across platforms. She discusses tools and timelines for implementing an AEO strategy and steps to test visibility on AI platforms, concluding with insights on establishing authority and her closing remarks.
Key Points
- AI-referred traffic can convert significantly better than traditional search because AI prequalifies for relevance before making recommendations.
- To optimize for AI recommendations, focus on creating question-centric, factually accurate content that is structured in a machine-readable format.
- Consistency across all online platforms, including your website, social profiles, and industry directories, is crucial for AI to recognize and recommend your business.
