· INSIDE THE GUIDE ·

Seven modules. One framework

01

Search Became an Answer

What actually changed when keywords became prompts, and why the shortlist is now built before your buyer sees anything.

02

Why Reddit Is the Hidden Layer

The four structural reasons AI engines trust Reddit, and why the AI slop crisis made authentic human threads the internet's most premium data.

03

Start With People

ICPs versus personas, the decision moments that produce prompts, and the two persona frameworks we actually use.

04

Prompt Research

The seven prompt clusters, how to find prompts that force AI to recommend brands, and the scoring model for prioritizing them.

05

Evidence Mapping

Exactly what Reddit discussions AI needs to see before it can confidently recommend you, and why one thread is noise but five are a signal.

06

Narrative Engineering

AI doesn't recommend brands, it recommends narratives. Choose the 3 to 5 you can credibly own, then reinforce them thread by thread.

07

Validation & Monitoring

The 15-day check loop, the four metrics that matter, and how to trace which comment feeds which AI answer.

Proof: Three Real Campaigns

An AI music platform, a telehealth brand, and an apparel e-commerce brand, with the real citation numbers behind each campaign.

Can You DIY This?

An honest answer: yes to get started, hard to run at scale. What the operational reality looks like either way.

  • You expect AI citations overnight without building evidence first
  • You think AI visibility is a fad that will blow over
  • You'd rather keep optimizing for the ten blue links alone
