Disambiguation

AI visibility is an ecosystem problem.

A brand can appear in an answer while a third-party publisher supplies the supporting link. You need to win both.

One engine ≠ another

ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Copilot use different source mixes. Build authority across the whole source graph.
