Find the questions for your brand The sources AI leans on
When AI engines answer questions about B2B services and consulting firms, they combine what the model learned in training with pages found through live search. These kinds of sources tend to shape the answer:
- B2B review and directory sites, such as Clutch and similar platforms.
- Industry publications and award lists.
- LinkedIn content and profiles.
- Case studies and client stories on your own site.
- Partner directories from software vendors you work with.
What to do
- 1Track service, industry and city questions, such as best agency for X in Y.
- 2Give each service its own page, with who it is for, how you work and typical outcomes.
- 3Publish case studies with real, approved details.
- 4Keep directory and review profiles complete and current.
- 5Show your people and their expertise, with profiles and articles.
- 6Get listed in partner directories and industry lists.
Watch out for
- Thin service pages that list services without detail.
- Directory profiles that are years out of date.
- Claims about results you cannot support.
