I have a lot* of anecdotal evidence. That should be good enough for all the "Everything you need to know about ranking for LLMs for the next 25 years" post writers.
*At least a half dozen screenshots accumulated so far, clearly enough for an informed consensus, obviously.
I wish I had the knowledge to write a post on it, it would probably bang on social if I shared it! The reality is I've just been continuing to do the basics right, and we've started to rank in AIOs as a result.
Yeah, all clients want it and I understand why agencies and consultants are pitching it. We are also trying to figure it out, of course. I am just truly skeptical of the people who claim they did.
Consensus is a huge component. I've lost AIO (due to content becoming 'out of date'), updated it to restore consensus & AIO rankings returned within days
to that same end, RAG optimization should be similarly effective
tested with a large brand, can't speak to smaller sites

I'm always looking at their posts and going... how?
Where have I heard this before…?
Also did you see the work Jason on our team did around the 3 types of AI "engines" it really reframed a lot of how I talk about it too
