This thread is to have an ongoing discussion strategizing creative ways to optimize our online presence for the new AI Search frontier. It's inevitable.
So the key question is, how do we get our businesses and websites "ranked" in this new playing field?
Perplexity's free version offers source links and ChatGPT's paid version does that too. I'm sure Claude will add it too.

Some of my related thoughts.
I have replaced Google search with Perplexity and couldn't be happier, as it provides source links of where it obtained the information.
Even though it uses ChatGPT and Claude, it's more accurate than both, as it's connected to the internet and accesses up to date info, which ChatGPT and Claude will instead fabricate.
I only use Google for image searches these days.
Some of us already saw the signs on the wall early on, and knew it will come to this. I did contract work for Anthropic in 2021-2022, working on Claude before its release.
I told people 3 years ago that in 5-10 years, Google Search will likely be like AOL and other dinosaurs in the sands of internet time.
Google hasn't helped its case, as the Google Search product has deteriorated to nearly unusable levels, with irrelevant search results. Nearly all its search products are broken.
YouTube search is one of the worst search algorithms I use these days, with completely irrelevant results and all that "what others are watching."
Remember when YouTube search was like magic? You didn't even need to remember the name of a channel, video or song to find it. You'd enter a clue and it would find it.
Now, entering even exact match titles of clips often fails to find it.
Google is currently at over 90% search engine market share. I saw a WSJ publication today (behind paywall), that Perplexity and TikTok will cause Google to dip below 50% of Search market share by next year.
I suspect it will be downhill from there, straight to AOLville. Considering search ads are Google's bread and butter, losing that in a short period of say, 1-2 years will be a big blow to its entire operation.
So once again, how do we optimize for AI search engines? As time goes on, new information, tips, tricks, magic dust and all that will emerge and we can discuss optimizing them here.
