The creator argues that AI answers about small and medium-sized businesses can feel like opinions but may be assembled from current search results and their cited pages. For large, well-known brands, more information may already exist in training data.
For medium-sized businesses, the model may have some prior information, but the creator says search results are typically more influential. For small businesses with little information available, the creator says AI may not remember the brand, which they frame as making its description easier to influence.
Their proposed approach is to identify pages commonly cited when people ask about the brand and, when those pages cannot be updated, create similar pages that may be cited instead.
