AI Search

AI Search covers how answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews find, rank, and cite web content. Articles under this tag explain how these systems differ from traditional search, what crawlers like GPTBot and PerplexityBot actually do, and what site owners can realistically do to improve their odds of being cited in an AI-generated answer. Expect practical, crawler-and-schema-level detail rather than speculation, with a focus on how consistent publishing and fast content distribution feed into AI visibility. This tag is useful if you're trying to understand modern search behavior beyond classic Google rankings. There is a dedicated explainer on llms.txt and whether an RSS-powered site needs one, which is the question most often asked about this subject right now.
