How to Audit Your Brand's AI Visibility in One Afternoon (Free Framework)
By David Bellairian, Founder of AIDiscover Before you spend a dollar on "AI SEO," you should know exactly where you're starting from. Most brands don't — they're reacting to a hunch ("I asked ChatGPT once and we weren't there") rather than a real picture. This is the audit I actually walk clients through in the first working session, simplified so you can run the first pass yourself, for free, in about an afternoon. You don't need special software for this version. You need C

Your Brand Isn't Invisible to Google. It's Invisible to AI.
By David Bellairian, Founder of AIDiscover I built AIDiscover on a premise that felt obvious to me and, at first, felt like a hard sell to almost everyone I said it to out loud: the way people find businesses had already changed, and most brands' marketing hadn't caught up. Here's the pattern I kept seeing. A business owner would tell me, with real confidence, "we're doing fine on marketing — we show up on Google." And they were right. They did show up on Google. Then I'd ope

The Content Formats AI Actually Cites (And the Ones It Skips)
By David Bellairian, Founder of AIDiscover There's a specific kind of frustration in publishing a genuinely good piece of content and watching it get ignored by every AI search tool while a thinner, scrappier page down the list gets quoted word for word. In most cases, it isn't a quality problem. It's a format problem — the good content simply isn't shaped in a way a generative engine can pull from. Here's what the research actually shows about the difference, and how to clos

Why 90% of ChatGPT's Citations Never Rank on Page One of Google
By David Bellairian, Founder of AIDiscover I hear a version of the same sentence from almost every brand I talk to: "We rank well on Google — why doesn't ChatGPT ever mention us?" It's a fair question, and the honest answer surprises people: ranking well on Google and getting cited by ChatGPT are much less related than most of us assume. The number that changes the conversation According to an analysis by NetRanks of how ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity select sources, roughly

GEO vs. AEO vs. SEO: What Actually Gets Your Brand Found by AI in 2026
By David Bellairian, Founder of AIDiscover A client asked me last month why their site ranks #2 on Google for their main keyword but never comes up when they ask ChatGPT the same question. That gap — between where you rank and where you get recommended — is the whole reason this article exists. For twenty years, "getting found online" meant one thing: rank on Google. That's no longer true. There are now three related but genuinely different games being played, and most busine
