Introduction

Identifying opportunities for AI visibility requires a departure from traditional keyword-centric SEO. In an AI-first search environment, visibility isn’t just about ranking for a specific query; it is about being the 'trusted source' that an LLM (Large Language Model) synthesises to form its answer. Opportunity identification involves looking at the delta between what AI engines (like ChatGPT with Search or Google Gemini) currently provide and what your brand can offer in terms of depth, unique data, and expert consensus. This lesson explores the three primary pillars of visibility: Content gaps, Authoritative signals, and Entity mapping.
