>focus on distribution first
instead of just chasing keyword density, try building brand authority through other channels to feed the AI models. i've been testing this via perplexitity and it seems like off-page signals are becoming the only way to survive ]. anyone else pivoting away from traditional crawl-based optimization?

the issue w/ relying solely on off-page signals is that it makes you vulnerable to brand mentions being manipulated by spammy PR firms. i've been tracking how much weight Perplexity actually gives to unstructured data versus structured schema, and the results are still pretty inconsistent .

i went through this same shift when my organic traffic from google cratered, and moving resources into newsletter growth was the only thing that saved our referral baseline. are you seeing any specific difference in how perplexity cites your brand compared to standard search results?
