AI search is already changing how people find businesses. When someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, the answer comes from structured content, authority signals, and brand mentions across the web. Most businesses have no idea this is happening, let alone how to show up in those answers.

If you want to understand the shift from ranking on Google to getting cited by AI, start here. I write from hands-on experience building AIO campaigns, not from speculation about what might work.
