I run research at Kre8on, where we build Kre8on platform — a tool that measures
how brands appear in AI answers. This is raw data, no pitch.
TL;DR:
METHOD (so you can poke holes):
THE DATA:
[Citation rate by brand age — a simple table or bar chart]
[Wikipedia presence vs. citation presence — strongest correlation]
[llms.txt on/off — no delta] WHAT THIS MEANS:
AEO is not "SEO for AI." You can't schema-stuff your way into ChatGPT.
The engines are trusting third-party authority (Wikipedia, established
press) before they trust you. If you're a new brand, your #1 job isn't
on-page — it's earning presence on sources the engines already cite.
Happy to answer methodology questions. I'll drop a fuller writeup +
the tool we used in the comments.
