Your community becomes the answer AI cites.
Customer questions get answered once, in public. Search engines and AI assistants start citing your community as the source, and that visibility compounds instead of expiring like a campaign.
The problem
Buyers ask AI before they ask you.
By the time a prospect reaches your site, an assistant has already summarized the category for them. The only question is whose words it summarized.

How it works
Three steps, and the work keeps paying out.
Answer once, in public
Questions get asked and answered in Q&A and discussions. Each resolved thread becomes a permanent, indexable page instead of a reply that disappears into a ticket queue.
Structured for machines
Clean URLs, schema and your own domain, so search engines and LLMs can read your community, tell who said what and cite it as the source.
Citations compound
Every resolved thread keeps earning visibility long after it’s posted, and AI Answers reuses the same knowledge to reply inside your community.
SEO, AEO and GEO
One job, three kinds of search.
The same body of work has to show up in all three places now. One community answer does all three at once.

SEO
Rank in classic search
Each accepted answer becomes a crawlable page with its own title, URL and schema.

AEO

Perplexity
Curves show the shape of the opportunity, not measured results. Axes are relative and deliberately unlabelled.
What you can prove
Three numbers, measured in your own stack.
We’re not going to invent a benchmark for you. These are the metrics this use case moves, and where each one comes from.
-
Indexed pages
Every question, answer and article becomes a page search engines can crawl. Bettermode reports how many are live and how that count grows month over month.
Example value: 4,820 indexed pages -
Organic and AI-referred traffic
Analytics separates search and assistant referrals from the rest of your traffic, and syncs to Google Analytics and your CRM alongside the rest of the funnel.
Example value: plus 38 percent AI-referred sessions -
AI citations of your domain
See where assistants surface your community as the source, so visibility stops being a feeling and becomes a number you can put in the board deck.
Example value: 214 cited threads
