More and more people are turning to various AI chats to research businesses, both local and national. If ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI aren't mentioning your business, you're missing out on leads and revenue. It's not going anywhere, and it will only become a more important brand awareness and lead gen channel.

Solid traditional SEO tactics do indeed help you show up in AI searches. But there's more to it than that.

I scoured the leading research from Princeton, Georgia Tech, and more to compile a list of the 15 tactics that actually lead to AI search visibility improvement.

No snake oil, no speculation. Only proven tactics that I use for my business and for my clients.

Tactics like these are how I helped a national B2B client outrank the FDA and 2 multi-billion dollar companies in highly competitive AI searches.

This is part 1 of 3. The first 5 proven tactics to increase AI search visibility.

What are you doing to increase your AI visibility?

Nobody warns you about the zen-master poker face you slowly develop after year three of running an agency.

A client emails at 4:59pm on a Friday with 'Hey! Quick change, shouldn't take long!' and something inside you quietly leaves your body. But your fingers? Your fingers type back 'On it, no worries at all!' with the serene calm of a Buddhist monk on a mountainside.

The internal experience is more like a Waffle House at 2am. But the external experience? Completely unbothered professional who has absolutely everything under control.

That gap between what your face is doing and what your nervous system is doing is the real skill they don't teach in any business course. That's the thing you can't put on a resume.

13 years in and honestly? I've made peace with it. The worrying means you care. The 'no worries' means you're a pro.

Both things can be true.

Oh, the irony. The hardest part of lead gen isn’t SEO or ads. It’s undoing the “little changes” that quietly kill conversions. Hidden phone numbers. Removed forms. No calls-to-action. Then, wondering why leads slow down. Marketing only works when the path is clear.

This post is for all the marketers out there. You know how it is. Ambiguity can be tough to navigate. We're often torn between what the client wants and what we know will work best. Getting feedback that isn't clear, but abstract. Over the years, we have gotten good at translating seemingly contradictory feedback. As marketers, part of our job is standing up for what we know is the best way forward. The question ends up being this. Are you loyal to the client's wishes or to getting them results?

The analogies are endless. SEO is one of the few careers where you are at the mercy of a giant global corporation that keeps shifting the goalposts and doesn't even tell you they moved it. Every new update, minor or major, can change what works and what hurts a website's rankings. Google keeps the algorithm secret. This leaves us having to read through patents, constantly test things, and see what other SEOs are testing and seeing. I learned early on as an SEO that you can't even trust what Google officially says, as they tend to put out disinformation. So yea, hide and seek but the damn house keeps moving.

It really is pretty crazy how much has changed in the last year or 2 with the rise of LLMs. SEO as a whole has changed so much since I started Radiant Elephant 13 years ago. Things have only gotten more complex and will only get more complex as we move forward.

What's the difference between mobile-first web design and responsive web design? A lot. So much that I drank a bunch of coffee and wrote a 3,400-word article about it. Don't worry, it's an easy read and primed for scanning. Mobile-first vs. Responsive design all comes down to approach, performance, and UX. This is a must-read for any business looking to build or redesign a website.
