Recommendations got a serious revamp. They now give you a ready-to-use action plan to improve AI search visibility. This month, we added a few more notification types.

Until now, working with AI Search Analytics required a lot of decision-making. Even with a full view of your AI visibility, you still had to figure out a strategy and a task list. Now, Surfer will always tell you your next move.

Powered by AI Search Analytics signals, the recommendation list covers what to publish and optimize to fix gaps in your LLM visibility. And where to reach out to get mentions or change the way cited sources talk about you.

How do the new Recommendations work?

You will still get the recommendations for improving SERP visibility you already have, but we’ve added AI Search Analytics signals to the mix. They include things to do on- and off-page:

• Cover the topics that make you the source. Know which new content to write, which to optimize, and which to RE-optimize to make sure you’re getting all the citations you deserve.
• Get mentioned in the right sources. Learn which publishers to reach out to, or where to buy mentions directly from Surfer to get your brand inside the sources LLMs already cite. For listicles, we point out where you should work your way up the list.

We just added new providers to expand our list of websites from which you can buy mentions directly, so getting a citation will be even easier.

• Fix sentiment before it harms your reputation. You’ll get notified when a source mentions your brand negatively, so you can address it before it reaches your audience.
• Participate in a Reddit discussion or answer a Quora question. Join the conversations LLMs cite for your prompts.

New provider for the sponsored articles marketplace

We added two new providers to our list of sites where you can buy links directly, so you can get mentions even easier: 4media and PRNEWS.

• PRNEWS is a platform where businesses can buy paid placements across a global catalog of more than 107,000 online media outlets in 175 countries. More than 12,000 companies use the platform to compare publications by audience, SEO metrics, pricing and placement terms, and to plan media campaigns across multiple markets from a single dashboard.
• 4media is a platform for local and niche publishers that combines a content management system (CMS4media), an AI writing assistant, and an advertising marketplace (ADS4media). On the advertiser side, brands can buy sponsored articles, banners, and links across a network of more than 9,000 local and thematic news portals in six countries. Publishers use the same platform to run their sites and earn ad revenue.
