Introduction

Transitioning from theoretical AI visibility to practical implementation requires a robust system for decision-making. In the fast-moving landscape of LLMs (Large Language Models) and Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), practitioners often face a backlog of hundreds of potential fixes—from structured data overhaul to entity bridging. Without a structured prioritisation framework, marketing teams risk wasting resources on 'vanity' optimisations that do not move the needle on citations or sentiment. This lesson explores how to adapt proven frameworks like ICE and RICE to the unique constraints of AI visibility.
