Why this matters for PR and comms

AI assistants reward clarity, consistency and authority. That means your newsrooms, press releases and earned media need to feed clear facts, citations and context that answer questions directly.

Prioritise precision over prose. Use unambiguous headlines, tight summaries, named sources, timelines, quotes, data points and relevant links. Keep language plain. Make it easy for machines to map who you are, what happened and why it matters.

Quick wins to increase visibility

  • Write releases that lead with facts, figures and names people actually search for.
  • Ensure consistent entity naming (brand, products, spokespeople) across releases, bios and social.
  • Distribute to credible outlets to earn citations that AI systems can validate.
  • Publish source documents (media kits, fact sheets, FAQs) that answer common queries.
  • Measure which stories get quoted and referenced, then double down on those formats.
