Presence Over Position: Why the Citation Is the New Rank.

The shift from ranking to citation is the most important change in digital discoverability since PageRank. A single citation in a ChatGPT answer to a high-intent query is worth more than a #3 ranking on a long-tail keyword. Here is how to measure and build citation surface coverage.

Entity Engineering for Brands: How to Make AI Systems Understand Who You Are
