Great insights, very informative. See you on Digital Cut 2026!

Clear and understandable, I wish there was more information like this.

I guess the biggest issue with researching businesses in AI tools at the moment is that everyone's results are unique based on their search historty and interaction with their AI tool of choice. If I do a search - and you do the same exact search, we'll get different results. Which makes the research element of where to add your business to more challenging than standard SEO (i.e. which directories). But, perhaps at some point in the future there will be a way to know the average / most common AI responses.

Thank you for explaining everything so clearly. Everything is very clear. Like for the explanation.

Crisp, smart way of explaining, necessary and sufficient information. That was helpful. Thank you.
