Why is your branding missing

from AI Search

Domain Authority

AI algorithms deprioritize content that does not appear on websites with high domain authority.

Lack of Competitiveness

Limited external mentions cause AI models to recommend competitors with more citations instead.

Outdated Information

AI algorithms interpret a lack of fresh news as inactivity, causing your brand to drop from rankings.

Unverified Sources

AI's safety filters often discard content as unreliable noise without the verification of an official wire service.

Press Releases Are Your Secret Weapon for GEO

AI models prioritize content that is authoritative, credible and semantically clear.

Posting high-quality content on your own website is a great start, but it is often not enough for AI search. Algorithms look for content across the internet to verify facts. If your stories only appear on your brand’s site, AI may view them as unverified content and leave them out of the results.

Press release distribution solves this by publishing your stories on high-authority media websites. This builds authority by leveraging the high reputation of established publishers, and ensures credibility because AI views third-party coverage as verified facts. Furthermore, the trusted links generated from these sites tell algorithms your content is relevant and important, prompting algorithms to rank your stories as primary sources.

AI platforms do not feature content randomly.
They rely on trusted, high-authority domains that provide accurate, structured information.

A Semrush study (Oct 2025), analyzed more than 230,000 prompts across ChatGPT, Google AI and Perplexity, to find out which domains AI platforms preferred.

PRNewswire.com ranks #12 among the top 20 most-cited domains across major LLMs. alongside other leading domains like Reddit, Forbes, Wikipedia, G2, etc

More about AI Search

What is “zero-click search” and why does it matter?

Zero-click search refers to search results where users get the answer directly in the search interface—especially via AI overviews—without visiting a website.
Why it matters:
• Brands are seeing decreased traffic, especially to blog and educational content.
• But the traffic that does arrive tends to be more engaged and further down the funnel.
• Brands must shift their KPIs from volume to quality and influence.

How do I influence how my brand is represented in AI summaries?

To increase inclusion in AI-generated answers:
• Create well-structured, semantically clear content with FAQs, bullet points and SME quotes.
• Develop topical authority by consistently publishing content on your core subject areas.
• Leverage entity authority—get your experts quoted in content and build their reputations across channels (especially LinkedIn and YouTube).

How do I measure success if I’m getting less traffic?

Traditional metrics like click-through rate (CTR) are becoming less useful. Instead, shift to:
• Impression tracking: how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers.
• Inclusion metrics: is your brand mentioned in responses.
• Sentiment analysis: what tone is associated with your brand.
• Bonus: Traffic that does click through from AI platforms often converts at much higher rates (60–70% in some cases).

How can I protect my brand from AI-driven misinformation or negative opinions?

Here's how to mitigate risk:
• Be proactive: Publish authoritative, accurate content across multiple formats (press releases, blogs, videos, FAQs).
• Address criticism publicly: Don’t “take it offline.” Transparency helps influence how AI agents interpret your brand.
• Monitor your presence: Use tools that track how your brand appears in AI results and search overviews.
