Search tools like ChatGPT are picking up cues from the web. Who’s being talked about, reviewed, and shared.
The more useful, trusted and present your brand is online, the more likely it is to be recommended… even if the person searching has never heard of you before.
This is the final post in our AI search series, and it’s all about recommendations - boost your visibility and credibility without needing to go viral.
Start small. Show up often. Let AI do the rest.

– How to send out trust signals online
