Work the retrieval lever now

OutcomeImpactHighEffortModerate

A meaningful share of your mentions (45%) come from live retrieval — which means you can move this quickly. Retrieval responds to content and citations far faster than the models' trained memory.

  1. 1.Strengthen the pages AI is most likely to retrieve (your best category and product pages).
  2. 2.Earn links and citations from sources AI browses, so it finds and trusts you.
  3. 3.Re-measure in a few weeks — retrieval-driven gains show up fastest.

Get named on the sources AI reads

AI answers from the sources it trusts — review sites, 'best of' roundups, forums, industry publications and knowledge bases. You barely appear in answers because you're largely absent from those sources. This is the foundational lever.
