AI Has a Type. You’re Not It.

26% of brands don’t exist to AI. [1] Not low rankings. Not buried under their competitors. They just don’t show up at all.

So how do you get your company cited by ChatGPT and AI search engines?

Start by looking at what Wikipedia does right. They get cited 47.9% of the time in top AI responses. [2] You know what Wikipedia has that you don’t? Sources. Actual ones. Not just “trust me bro.”

AI was trained on academic content. Nature papers. NBER working papers. Princeton research. Turns out AI has a type. Now you know what it is. [3] Cite the right sources and AI mentions you 40% more often. Not theory. Princeton measured it. [4]

Your competitors already figured this out and they’re getting quoted. Clock’s ticking.
