Unlocking the Full Potential of AI: Beyond Topical Authority

When it comes to SEO, I’ve learned that topical authority is just the beginning. AI search systems take it a step further by assessing choices among entities, not just content. Understanding the nine-cell model is crucial for grasping how these selections truly happen.

The concept of topical authority is fundamental in SEO. I’ve realized it doesn’t fully explain how search and AI choose between different sources. The critical element is missing, lying in the selection signals that separate mere eligibility from being the chosen one.

Topical Authority: Understanding Content vs. Selection

In my journey, I see topical authority as foundational for both SEO and the evolving AEO and AAO. However, it’s not enough. The current framework accounts for semantics, content, and structure but falls short of explaining topical ownership — the real goal.

Topical authority reflects what I’ve built, while topical ownership is about whether AI systems prefer my content over others during the selection. This hinges on having content that surpasses mere existence and becomes preferred through the selection processes in AI pipelines.

My insights have been influenced greatly by Koray Tuğberk GÜBÜR’s work. His methodological approach to content architecture has consistently demonstrated how signaling genuine expertise results in notable outcomes.

GÜBÜR’s formula and framework, which include the temporal dimension, are crucial to expanding the cell model. His innovation in coining terms like “topical map” has provided the industry with structured guidance steeped in thorough research and understanding.

Row 1: Coverage as the Starting Line

I’ve come to see coverage as more than just ticking off content boxes. It means providing unmatched depth, comprehensive breadth, and offering unique insights. These elements together ensure that one’s presence is unmistakably their own.

While ensuring complete coverage is vital, presenting a new perspective is what keeps content relevant in the dynamic AI landscape. Original thought is my ticket to retaining repeated attention from AI systems, fostering recognition and engagement.

Row 2: The Foundation of Architecture

The architecture of content, from sentence clarity to strategic linking, is a cornerstone for effective communication. Starting with source context helps determine the identity and structure that align with my strategic goals.

Good architecture, as I’ve experienced, is not just about organizing content but about making it accessible and understandable for AI systems. It bridges what exists with how it is understood, a critical factor for effective communication.

Row 3: Position Decides the Game

Building a strong position requires more than content. It involves staking my claim as an entity of authority, ensuring recognition and relevance in my chosen topics. In AI, position is the differentiator that sets entities apart in a crowded digital landscape.

The effort I invest in establishing this position pays off when AI systems recognize and prioritize my contributions, setting me apart from others with similar coverage and architecture. This understanding underscores the significance of position in AI optimization strategies.

Through exploring these strategies, I have seen how each layer — coverage, architecture, and position — supports and enhances the other. Together, they create a robust framework that ensures my content stands out in competitive AI environments.

AI Search: Bridging the Wealth Gap in Digital Exploration

I keep hearing about AI search as if it’s become the norm for everyone—an inevitable shift in how we discover information. But in reality, it’s not so simple.

AI search is indeed on the rise, but it’s not being adopted equally. The real divide comes down to something rarely discussed: household income.

My agency started closely monitoring search behaviors back in early 2025. In our latest study, we took a closer look through the lens of household income.

The results? A significant divide emerged. While a general 27% of users claim to regularly use ChatGPT, income-specific data paints a different picture.

In essence, higher-income households are significantly more likely to use generative AI tools.

This major variation challenges the common assumption that AI adoption progresses uniformly across demographics.

We’re seeing a new layer of digital inequality in accessing information. This divide, visible across the UK, is adding to an existing digital skills gap.

AI adoption relies on more than just having the right tools. It’s also influenced by:

If you work in certain sectors like digital or corporate, you’re more likely to be encouraged to incorporate AI into your daily routines.

Capability plays a role, too. For some, using AI tools comes naturally. For others, it’s an intimidating process without proper guidance.

Then there’s confidence—trust in AI tools varies. In our research, users on platforms such as Perplexity report high levels of trust, but they remain niche.

These disparities mean that AI literacy is quickly becoming another possible layer of the digital divide, augmenting the advantage of the digitally savvy.

For businesses, this division has tangible implications. Different audiences are developing distinct behaviors:

This isn’t a minor shift. Making incorrect assumptions about user behavior could lead to strategic missteps, like over-investing in one area and neglecting another.

Yet, there’s an upside. Fast adopters of AI are often the very decision-makers and high-income consumers that brands value most.

These users are frequently termed “digital explorers” and see AI as an integral part of their decision-making process.

Behavior and confidence are intertwined, shaping how far users will go with AI.

To respond to these fragmented behaviors, brands need to:

A comprehensive understanding of AI’s role at every step of the customer journey becomes essential.

Ultimately, as AI weaves deeper into our lives, the human element remains paramount in determining the future of search.

Boost AI Search Success With an Organic Product Feed Strategy
Most product feeds are traditionally geared towards paid media. But I’ve discovered aligning them with organic search behaviors significantly enhances visibility across Shopping and AI platforms.

When I ask most e-commerce brands who manages their product feed, the response is usually the same: the paid media team is in charge.

Often, a feed management tool is categorized under PPC. It might even be a relic created by the shopping team years ago, with titles that haven’t been updated since. SEO, unfortunately, rarely has its say in these strategies.

Whether you’re focused on AI-powered search or traditional clicks, excluding SEO from your product feed strategy means missing out on substantial opportunities.

AI Shopping Results Are Connected to Google Shopping Data

According to a recent Peec AI study, up to 83% of ChatGPT carousel products reflect Google’s organic Shopping results—and 60% of those are from Shopping positions 1-10.

Data shows how ChatGPT’s product carousel matches Google Shopping’s organic results, with Google dominating over Bing.

On Google’s side, their Shopping Graph includes over 50 billion product listings, directly feeding AI Overviews, AI Mode, and Gemini. AI Overviews now appear in about 14% of shopping inquiries, a leap from roughly 2% in late 2024. As I’ve seen, AI search results are still largely based on the traditional search engine result page (SERP).

SEO is vital for establishing brand authority. It opens up valuable opportunities to collaborate across channels for improved search visibility. It’s time for SEOs, commerce, and paid media teams to come together.

The Case for a Dedicated Organic Feed

Most brands run a single product feed aimed at Google paid shopping campaigns. The focus is often on optimizing titles for bid relevance and descriptions for Quality Score rather than for user search behaviors.

As user search habits evolve, aligning product data with search queries becomes increasingly important. A title with too many paid-friendly modifiers doesn’t necessarily match natural search queries.

When we tested this with a major ecommerce brand, our agency’s AI SEO team worked with the commerce team to create a dedicated product feed just for organic listings. Optimizing specifically for organic visibility made a world of difference.

After implementation, we saw the following results:
- Organic listing CTR increased by 10% month over month and purchasing rates rose by 4%.
- A product-level test revealed a 92% increase in revenue for free listings, with an 83% increase in visibility and a 14% rise in add-to-cart rates.
- Organic optimizations alone generated 35,000 impressions with a 1.4% CTR—55% higher than paid CTR for the same period.
We recognized that our paid and organic strategies serve different needs, so they should be optimized independently. Organic feed titles should reflect how customers naturally search.

What to Prioritize in an Organic Feed Strategy

Not all feed attributes are equally important. Whether you’re setting up a dedicated organic feed or auditing an existing one, these elements are essential starting points.

Focus on Titles as the Key Lever

Google’s algorithm favors feed titles highly in matching products to queries. As Google documentation suggests, including significant attributes can lift performance. Consider what customers might conversationally say when searching for your product.

Google’s Merchant Center documentation emphasizes aligning your feed strategy with how customers shop, enhancing their search journey.

Don’t Neglect Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs)

According to Google’s GTIN documentation, products with accurate GTINs gain significant visibility. Data shows well-matched products can attract up to 40% more clicks and are key in aggregating reviews.

Images Add Value

Images are often flagged in Merchant Center disapprovals. Products with both standard and lifestyle images engage more users. Google’s Product Studio can assist in editing, helping SEO and creative teams work together on feed assets.

Optimize Key Attributes: product_highlight and product_detail
- product_highlight allows you to add concise benefit statements in Shopping views. Descriptions like “water-resistant for light rain commutes” are more beneficial than vague terms like “high-quality material.”
- product_detail gives structured specs that influence Google’s filters in product grids.
The semantic optimization SEOs apply to product pages should guide feed attributes. Product and content teams’ insights are vital not just for PDPs but also for feeds.

Your Feed is Your Agentic Commerce Foundation

Investing in feed optimization for organic visibility will prepare your brand for the agentic commerce landscape.

Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol is essential for AI agents to complete transactions directly in AI Mode and Gemini. Feeds entering the Shopping Graph fuel AI responses to shopping requests.

Google added the native_commerce attribute for UCP-powered buy buttons across Google services. Several new conversational commerce attributes will soon be available, which means feed and on-page content must be in sync.

Building a Cross-Channel Strategy for AI Search

Product feed strategy is ideal for cross-team collaboration to test, execute, and measure brand visibility. A harmonized approach across all surfaces benefits both traditional and AI-driven search outcomes.
- SEOs contribute keyword intelligence and semantic insights about AI system matching.
- Commerce teams manage product data and retail relationships.
- Paid teams have the infrastructure and expertise in feed health management.
These teams should collaborate to create a unified AI SEO strategy. Reviewing existing feeds and gathering all relevant stakeholders is essential to developing a comprehensive and effective product feed strategy.

Discover Google’s New Universal Commerce Protocol Guide!

I’m thrilled to share that Google has launched a groundbreaking onboarding guide for its Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). This new system marks a significant shift towards integrating seamless checkout experiences directly within search. It’s a game-changer for advertisers and merchants alike.

Google is setting the stage for what they call ‘agentic commerce,’ where I can see purchases happening right in the AI-driven search moments. It’s all about making the buying process smoother and more intuitive for users like me.

What’s happening. Google has unveiled a detailed onboarding guide for the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) in Merchant Center. This guide shows merchants how to integrate with UCP, which allows checkout directly from product listings in AI Mode and Gemini. I find this incredibly useful in streamlining my customer journey.

The big picture. With AI search evolving into transaction facilitation, Google aims to keep users like me engaged by embedding shopping and checkout into conversational experiences. It’s all about keeping us within their ecosystem.

How it works. Before jumping in, merchants need to complete a technical integration and submit an interest form. After getting approval, they can access onboarding tools in Google Merchant Center. This includes a testing sandbox, identity linking, and checkout APIs — tools that I find essential for successful integration.

Why we care. Google’s move of aligning search closer to transactions means that I, as a user, might complete my purchases directly inside AI interactions rather than visiting separate websites. This could redefine how we measure, attribute, and optimize our advertising performance. Early adopters of the Universal Commerce Protocol could gain a competitive advantage as shopping becomes more integrated into AI tools like Gemini.

Zoom in. The protocol acts as an open standard, connecting product data, user identity, and payment flows. I’m excited about making seamless purchases without any redirection to external sites.

What to watch: The rollout is gradual and currently limited to the U.S. I should keep an eye out for a dedicated UCP integration tab appearing in Merchant Center accounts in the coming months.

Bottom line. If widely adopted, the Universal Commerce Protocol could transform online shopping, making search a complete, AI-powered checkout experience. I hope to see this fully integrated soon.

Google Search to Transform into Your Personal Task Manager

I’ve been intrigued by how Google Search is set to transform. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet, recently shared on the Cheeky Pint podcast that search is moving away from just providing information and answers. Instead, it’s evolving into a dynamic system that can complete tasks for us.

Why this matters to us: This shift marks Google’s transition from being a tool for information retrieval to becoming an assistant in task execution, which I’m sure will enhance our web interactions significantly.

Search’s agentic evolution: Sundar Pichai illustrates that our traditional way of searching is already seeing changes, and it’s only going to continue evolving.

He mentioned, “If I fast-forward, a lot of what are just information-seeking queries will be agentic in Search. You’ll be completing tasks. You’ll have many threads running.”

Pichai envisions a future where Google Search serves more as an agent manager, coordinating various actions for us. It’s like having multiple agents accomplishing different tasks, allowing us to get so much more done efficiently.

The CEO notes, “Search would be an agent manager in which you’re doing a lot of things. I think in some ways, I use Antigravity today, and you have a bunch of agents doing stuff. I can see search doing versions of those things, and you’re getting a bunch of stuff done.”

AI Mode’s impact: Pichai highlights that users are adapting their search behavior with Google’s AI functionalities. Even now, people perform deep research queries that redefine traditional search activities, implying that we’re already on a path to using search for more complex, long-running tasks.

He explains, “But today in AI Mode in Search, people do deep research queries. That doesn’t quite fit the definition of what you’re saying. But people adapted to that. I think people will do long-running tasks.”

Search and Gemini coexistence: Despite the introduction of Gemini, Sundar assures us that Google Search isn’t going anywhere. Instead, both will coexist and evolve together, balancing between some areas of overlap and profound divergence. This dual strategy aims to enhance how we utilize these technologies daily.

“We are doing both Search and Gemini. They will overlap in certain ways. They will profoundly diverge in certain ways. I think it’s good to have both and embrace it,” he shared.

Mastering AEO: Build Authority with Engaging Content
Backlinks are still important, but today, authority also thrives on mentions and citations. I’m here to guide you on crafting content that garners both, significantly boosting your presence in AI search results.

In the past, links were the main authority signal in search. Creating backlinks was my go-to strategy for visibility, and earning placements was key for credibility. This still holds relevance, but it’s no longer the sole method.

In the realm of AI-driven search, my authority is now shaped by how frequently my brand is mentioned, cited, and associated with specific topics. Visibility is achieved through references in AI-generated answers.

With this in mind, my aim is to craft content that consistently earns brand mentions and citations, which are the new driving forces for AEO visibility.

The Philosophy Driving Content that Fuels AEO Growth

In 2026, organic discovery is driven by authority incorporating entity recognition. On platforms like Google and AI models such as ChatGPT, authority is strengthened through:
- High-quality backlinks.
- Brand mentions (linked or unlinked).
- Consistent citations across trusted publications.
- Clear entity associations (defining who I am, what I’m known for, and my core topics).
Since LLMs synthesize information rather than rank pages, I need repeatable, credible mentions across the web to enhance the probability of being cited or referenced in AI answers. Moreover, I’m focused on using my owned media to clearly define my brand entity.

Building authority has become more crucial as my content competes with AI results within the SERP and AI-generated content from other creators.

In short, I need to establish a clear brand identity and produce content so valuable that other experts, journalists, creators, and AI systems frequently reference my brand in discussions relevant to my business.

Dig deeper: How to build an effective content strategy for 2026

The Principles and Formatting of AEO-Friendly Content

I rely on many traditional SEO principles as a foundation for AEO-friendly content. Content aligned with Google’s helpful content guidelines, emphasizing value and user experience, appeals to both people and LLMs sourcing expert input.

However, to truly optimize AEO-friendly content, I incorporate formatting that facilitates LLM extraction.

Key formatting principles include:
- Clear definitions: Provide concise, clear definitions high on the page:
  - “X is…”
  - “Y refers to…”
- Structured formatting:
  - Use descriptive H2s and H3s.
  - Employ bullet points.
  - Keep paragraphs short.
  - Include direct answers under question-based headers.
- Explicit context:
  - Avoid vague pronouns and implied references.
  - LLMs perform better with explicit, self-contained context.
- Summary sections:
  - TL;DR blocks.
  - Key takeaways.
  - FAQs.
- Entity reinforcement:
  - Brand name.
  - Author expertise and authority.
  - Brand and author credentials.
By keeping these principles in mind, I can effectively create content that resonates with both AEO requirements and user expectations.

The Specific Objectives for Your AEO Content to Address

To focus solely on AEO, I approach content with these objectives:
- Be highly citable: Provide original data or perspectives that are valuable for media such as podcasts, expert roundups, or contributor columns.
- Be highly quotable: Deliver at least one clear, insightful quote.
- Be specific: Address specific questions that AI systems would seek to answer. Articulate and answer a question verbatim within the content.
- Be clear: Clearly define topics for easy extraction.
To meet these goals, I think beyond blog posts to create “reference-grade” assets like:
- Original research.
- Data studies.
- Industry benchmarks.
- Visual explainers.
- Definitive guides.
- Glossaries.
Dig deeper: How to create answer-first content that AI models actually cite

Practical Steps to Build AEO Authority with Content

Here’s how I turn those principles into a repeatable process:
- Research keywords where bloggers and journalists seek references (often including “statistics” or “reports”). I utilize resources like Reddit, Quora, X, Ahrefs, and Exploding Topics.
- From those keywords, develop a list of topics my team can provide valuable insights on.
- Compile a list of writers and journalists who cover those topics.
- Conduct interviews with expert resources to gather content.
- Refine content into contemporary insights using Google Trends and social listening.
  - Example: Collect tips from an expert to help hay fever sufferers (niche audience) sleep better (core topic) during high pollen periods (relevance).
- Pitch to writers and journalists on the urgency and uniqueness of my content.
- Engage with these writers on social media to build relationships for future opportunities.

Create Content Worth Referencing

Writing for AEO is aligned with writing for humans. It incorporates many of the SEO fundamentals meant to engage actual users.

Despite differences in how LLMs extract and process content, keeping these nuances in mind helps me refine my content approach for both AEO and human users.

With a well-defined brand on my owned media and a strong understanding of AEO principles, I’m ready to leverage my team’s expertise for superior visibility in the AI search landscape.

Unveiling Clear Brand Solutions in a Compressed AI-Driven World
AI is revolutionizing how we discover, search, and purchase—it’s all happening at lightning speed. If we can’t clearly articulate the problem our brand solves, AI won’t be able to either.

I’ve noticed that customer journeys are now condensed into a single decision-making instance. David Edelman describes this as a blending of behaviors that traditionally occurred separately.

As decisions become more instant, it’s essential that I clarify what my brand can solve for the customer. Yet, too often, I find myself increasing activity rather than honing the strategy behind it.

Edelman, in his March 2026 Think with Google essay, emphasizes the rapid blending of streaming, scrolling, searching, and shopping behaviors, propelled by generative AI.

This insight shows that the traditional linear journey from awareness to purchase is outdated. Now, users multitask across platforms, fluidly moving between entertainment and intent.

The realization hit home when I learned people are using AI search engines to pose complex, emotionally rich queries, expressing context and urgency rather than just keywords.

AI processes these queries, breaking them into multiple streams and quickly synthesis results—a task that once required numerous browser tabs and hours is now done in seconds.

From this, I understand two things:
- The competition now revolves around how well brands serve as solutions to specific needs, not just as products.
- The demand framework is simultaneous—creating, capturing, and converting demand can no longer occur in sequence.
Dig deeper: From searching to delegating: Adapting to AI-first search behavior

As I think of Walt Kelly’s Pogo, I’m reminded of the risk of mistaking busyness for progress. His words cut deep: ‘Having lost sight of our objectives, we redoubled our efforts.’

I see brands scrambling to generate content tailored for this new speed of decision-making, yet without clear strategic goals, it’s just activity for activity’s sake.

Dig deeper: Why clarity now decides who survives

While the compressed customer journey is an opportunity for brands with precise positioning, it’s a trap for those without clear direction. Inconsistent brand signals lead to confusion.

Edelman highlights this issue by suggesting that brands should be seen as ‘the sum of signals’ that reveal them as solutions. I realized the journey compression issue isn’t just technological; it’s about setting clear objectives.

A question I continually ask is: What specific situation does my brand best address? If I can’t answer that concisely, AI certainly won’t be able to.

AI Search: Navigating New Reputation Risks Effectively
I remember the days when a Google search was akin to embarking on a quest for information. It was an adventure of navigating various links and forming my own opinions.

Nowadays, tools like AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity condense all that information into a single, simplified answer. This transformation often strips away the finer details while amplifying certain perspectives.

This shift has redefined online reputation management. Now, search engines not only present information but shape the underlying narratives. This raises the stakes for brands, as even a top-ranking status doesn’t guarantee influence if AI stories tell a different tale.

For brands, the game has changed. Being number one doesn’t ensure visibility and influence anymore. The underlying narrative holds far greater power.

AI Narrative Formation: Crafting User Answers

AI platforms now utilize what I like to call ‘AI narrative formation.’ This process crafts the responses we receive from various search engines. Let me walk you through how this system works.

Source Pooling

These systems pull content from numerous sources. Contrary to expected reliance on peer-reviewed articles, they gather data from Reddit, YouTube, and social platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Signal Weighting

Not all sources are equal. Often, a popular yet low-quality source can outweigh a singular, credible entry. A bustling Reddit thread with negative feedback might overshadow a well-researched Wikipedia page.

Narrative Compression

The summarization process compresses diverse inputs, often losing nuance along the way. Complex reputations are simplified into general statements like, ‘Users find this company untrustworthy.’

Continued Reinforcement

These summaries transcend their original context, getting shared and re-shared across social media. As these echoes return as new data, they further entrench the narratives in AI responses.

Explore deeper: How AI is Redefining Authority in Search

Unraveling a Finance Company’s Reputation in AI Search

To illustrate AI narrative formation, consider a recent case I worked on involving a financial company, which we’ll call Company X.

Company X’s reputation remained strong on traditional SERPs. High Trustpilot ratings and reputable endorsements were the norm until Google AI Overview threads surfaced a forgotten Reddit forum rife with grievances against them.

The AI Overview skewed the narrative, suggesting Company X had unresolved customer service issues, even though these concerns had been addressed years prior. This created a skewed perception that was hard to counteract.

The Amplified Risk from AI Searches

AI dramatically increases reputational risk through several mechanisms:
- The Spread of Negative Narratives: Negative content surfaces faster and more prominently than before.
- AI Hallucinations: Despite growing awareness, AI inaccuracies continue to deceive.
- The Snowball Effect: Repeated narratives gain momentum, complicating reputation management efforts.
It has become evident that in ORM, repetition often overrides accuracy.

Explore deeper: Generative AI’s Defamation Challenges

Auditing AI-Generated Narratives: A Step-by-Step Approach

Let’s consider a situation involving an AI-generated narrative challenge faced by CEO X of a well-known SaaS company.

After an out-of-context quote from CEO X’s podcast appearance went viral, AI summarized him unfavorably. Quickly, his reputation transformed negatively across major platforms.

Step 1: Mapping Queries

I initiated a process to understand what queries AI outputs were generating about CEO X. This helped identify the underlying issues.

Step 2: Capturing Outputs

Identifying repeated claims revealed how CEO X was perceived. Narratives from Google AI and ChatGPT were consistently portraying him negatively.

Step 3: Delving Through Sources

The next step involved examining the quality of sources contributing to these narratives, often outdated or lacking accuracy.

Step 4: Analyzing the Narrative Gap

This involved assessing discrepancies between AI narratives and his actual reputation, contextualizing the initial quote, and examining the long-standing perception of CEO X.

Step 5: Correcting and Replacing Sources

Finally, I focused on directly addressing, correcting, and replacing those negative narratives. This involved engaging directly with platforms that contributed to the misinformation and reinforcing positive content elsewhere.

Explore deeper: Responding to Negative AI Reviews

A New Perspective: From SEO to Narrative Management

The focus has shifted from merely achieving top SEO rankings to understanding and adapting to narrative shifts. We must rethink our strategy from content engagement to managing the narratives AI disseminates.

To succeed, it’s important to reinforce AI systems with quality inputs, including crafting high-quality content, pursuing credible mentions, disseminating structured data, and managing misinformation directly.
