1.1 the logic of traditional SEO

traditional SEO optimizes the ranking position of a web page in a search engine results page (SERP). What users see is a web page link, click on it before entering the website. The core indicators of SEO are: ranking position, click-through rate, visit depth.

1.2 the logic of AI search

AI search directly generates integrated answers, the recommendation logic is closer to professional consultant recommendations than keyword matching. Users see the answers organized by the AI, not the list of web pages. The core logic of AI recommendation is: who is more authoritative, who is more credible, and who can answer questions better.

Five root causes of low visibility of 2. AI

based on the diagnostic experience of hundreds of companies by the Suzhou Niu Orange Network team, there are five root causes for low AI visibility:

2.3 reason three: content and user problems do not match
