AI Trust / LLM Visibility
The signals LLMs use when deciding which brands, products, and services to surface in responses — the AI-native equivalent of SEO authority. LLMs look for consistency of narrative across the entire internet: your own site, Reddit, Wikipedia, review platforms, press coverage. A company with strong owned content but contradictory third-party coverage gets down-weighted because the model detects the discrepancy. The strategic implication: the new SEO is epistemic consistency — being accurate and saying the same thing everywhere, because AI aggregates all of it simultaneously.
