How to Optimise Your Blog and Website for AI Visibility

The Next Era of Visibility

For years, visibility meant ranking on Google. Today, it means being recognised: by people and by AI. When systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini summarise answers, they don’t just pull from keywords.

They pull from trusted, structured, human-authored sources.

The question is no longer “How do we rank?” but “Are we credible enough to be recommended?”

Here’s how to build that kind of visibility and optimise your blog and website for AI visibility.

How to Optimise Your Blog and Website for AI Visibility

1. Make Expertise Visible

AI systems value clarity of authorship. They look for names, credentials, and consistency across platforms.

• Include author bios on every article with links to your LinkedIn.

• Mention experience and perspective — “from working with small business brands…” adds valuable context.

• Maintain a consistent voice across your website, newsletter, and social media platforms to reinforce your brand identity.

2. Write Like You’re Answering a Question

Most AI queries start conversationally — “How can I improve brand trust?” or “What makes a strong founder story?”

To align with that:

• Use question-based headings (H2/H3).

• Break content into short, skimmable sections.

• Define key ideas clearly — AI uses your context to build understanding.

Example: Instead of “The Importance of Brand Story”, use “Why Your Brand Story Matters to AI-Driven Audiences”.

3. Add Structured Data (Schema)

Schema markup acts as a translator between your content and AI systems. It tells them who wrote it, what it’s about, and why it matters.

• Add Article schema for every blog post.

• Use FAQ schema (like the one below).

• For product or service pages, use Organisation or Service schema.

This makes your content easier to cite or surface in AI-generated answers.

4. Connect Content into a Knowledge Graph

AI models understand networks, not isolated pages.

• Interlink related blogs (e.g. from “Brand Authority” → “Building Trust in the AI Era”).

• Use consistent anchor text to reinforce themes.

• Include a clear About page that ties your personal and company identity together.

Over time, these links create a web of credibility: your own brand knowledge graph.

5. Create Content That’s Worth Quoting

AI engines prefer verifiable, unique perspectives. If you can share data, frameworks, or lessons from experience, you’re giving AI something “quote-worthy.”

Examples:

• “Three things I learnt from rebranding during a recession.”

• “A simple model I use to evaluate brand trust.”

These aren’t just human-friendly; they train AI to associate your name with authority in that domain.

6. Optimise the Technical Foundations

Even the best content needs solid infrastructure.

• Fast loading time and mobile responsiveness.

• Meta titles and descriptions written in plain, human language.

• Descriptive alt text for all images.

• HTTPS security and up-to-date sitemaps.

Technical health signals are reliable to both Google and AI crawlers.

7. Build Recognition Beyond Your Website

AI doesn’t just read your site — it connects dots across the internet.

• Stay active on LinkedIn and Medium with consistent branding.

• Encourage mentions, guest articles, and backlinks.

• Ensure your company’s name, tagline, and URL are identical across directories.

Visibility isn’t a single channel anymore — it’s an ecosystem.

8. Keep Your Content Alive

AI systems prefer current sources. Review key blogs every 6–12 months:

• Update statistics and examples.

• Refresh titles to align with emerging searches.

• Add a short “Updated on [date]” note for transparency.

Regular maintenance keeps your content relevant and retrainable.
