So yeah, people ACT like all the AI LLMs are going to RANK their site. But that isn't what they do when they make recommendations in overlays and responses.
This came from a post on LinkedIn – lots of meat on the bone but this phrase stuck out –
“LLMs don't rank websites. They synthesize trust.”
So how exactly do they do that? In this week's episode even though I mention 4 areas – I focus on 2 of them that are 100% within our control.
- Social Media
- Diversity of platforms
- Schema
- Our websites
