Your brand can hold the number one ranking and still go unnamed when a buyer asks AI for a recommendation. What we’re seeing is the answer cites two or three brands and skips the rest, which could unfortunately be yours.

Freshpet had the same challenge, and on August 20, the team that did it walks through their 3-part guide to help you beat the competition.

Now, Freshpet is one of the brands consistently cited.

AI Overviews Consistently Cite Freshpet By Name #

Freshpet’s visibility is not a byproduct of brand size; it is the result of specific, repeatable work.

On August 20, in this live session, Freshpet’s digital team and the GEO specialists at Intero Digital walk through the steps they took to earn AI’s trust and how a team of any size can follow the same path.

AI Overviews Cite The Brands They Can Trust, Not Just The Ones That Rank #

Rankings prove relevance to a query.

Citations require more: trust signals the system can verify about the brand itself.

That’s why a brand can hold the #1 spot while the Overview above it names three competitors, and it’s why the fix is buildable; Freshpet’s citations are the proof.
