But Stanley is ahead: the old playbook was 'rank on Google.' The new playbook is 'get cited by AI systems.' They're different. Human search rewards clickthrough and time-on-site; AI search rewards credibility and citation. The move is to check whether your brand appears in Perplexity search results for your core keywords.

(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nStanley 1913 adapted its marketing approach to be discoverable in AI search platforms, recognizing that traditional human-search optimization no longer captures the full intent funnel, per Digiday.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): your current SEO strategy and content probably rank well on Google for humans but may not appear in AI search results because AI engines crawl and cite differently. If you publish content on your site, test publishing the same core information as a public case study or how-to guide on Medium, LinkedIn, or a research platform where AI engines source citations. Track which content gets cited in AI search results. Repurpose high-citation content back into your core pages and ads.\nWhat that means for you: This feels early because it is — most brands haven't optimized for AI search yet. But Stanley is ahead: the old playbook was 'rank on Google.' The new playbook is 'get cited by AI systems.' They're different. Human search rewards clickthrough and time-on-site; AI search rewards credibility and citation. The move is to check whether your brand appears in Perplexity search results for your core keywords. If not, you're invisible to a growing segment of your audience.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Digiday: https://digiday.com/marketing/lifestyle-brand-stanley-1913-adapts-its-marketing-for-the-ai-search-era/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
