80% of LLM citations don’t even rank in Google for the original query. (Source: Louise L., Ahrefs) Answer engines don’t choose sources the same way traditional search engines do. And therefore, the way you optimize content for both platforms should also be different. In my latest article for Writesonic, I break down exactly how I optimize content for AI. Thank you to Sonakshi Garg and Writesonic for publishing this blog post. And shout out to these experts for their amazing insights and studies on answer engine optimization: ⭐ Kevin Indig, Growth Advisor ⭐ Jamie Thomson, Founder of Brand New Copy ⭐ Chris Green, Technical Director at Torque Partnership ⭐ Yulia Deda, Content Marketing Manager at SE Ranking ⭐ Kristavja Caci, Head of Content at ZeroRank AI (Link in the comments below 👇)

We launched bansi AI on Product Hunt today, and it's already trending. Every AI video tool went after short-form. We went the other direction, and honestly, we knew we were onto something the moment we started using it ourselves. Watching hours of editing collapse into minutes every single time. That feeling doesn't get old. Today everyone gets to feel that. 📌 Edit your first video for free: https://bansi.ai/ Support us on Product Hunt: https://lnkd.in/dTsaw_Hr

We built an AI video editor for long-form videos. It's called bansi AI.                                                                             Upload raw footage.

Now releasing it in beta. Your first video project is on us. Link in comments Live on Product Hunt as well today.

ChatGPT ads tracking is now live on Writesonic. OpenAI started testing ads inside ChatGPT on Feb 9. Six weeks later, the pilot was already at $100M+ annualized, with a $2.5B target for 2026. Sponsored placements now appear right below ChatGPT answers, in the spot where users decide what to click next. If you only track mentions and citations, you're missing that moment. Writesonic now tracks paid placements in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews alongside organic AI visibility. Same dashboard. Filter to one, or view both side by side. Sign up to see how ads are showing up in your category. Link in the comments.

“AEO is trending.” That is the shallow read. The bigger story is that marketers are finally searching for the consequences of AI search, not just the novelty of it. The problem has become real enough to name. You can call it "Answer Engine Optimization" or "Generative Engine Optimization". And once a market names the problem, the first ones to crack the solution have a lot to gain.

500M AI searches later, one thing is clear: Most teams can measure AI visibility. Far fewer can improve it. A dashboard can tell you your brand is missing from ChatGPT, Gemini, or AI Overviews. It usually cannot tell you what to fix first. On April 22, our Founder and CEO, Samanyou Garg, is joining Search Engine Journal for a session on what actually improves AI search visibility and citations. We will break down: - the signals behind AI citations - the GEO actions that actually move visibility - how to turn gap alerts into execution with AI agents and open-source tools If your team is still tracking the problem more than fixing it, this session is for you.

A lot of teams already know they are missing from AI answers. What they do not know is what to fix first. That is the real challenge with AI visibility right now. Some dashboards can show you where your brand is missing across ChatGPT, Gemini, or AI Overviews. But very few of those can help you turn that signal into a plan. On April 22, Samanyou Garg , Founder and CEO of Writesonic, is joining Search Engine Journal to break down what actually improves AI search visibility and citations. In this session, we will cover: - What 500M+ AI conversations reveal about citations - Which GEO actions actually move the needle - How to go from visibility gaps to execution - Where AI search is heading next If your team has been asking, “we can see the gap, now what do we do?”, this is THE webinar for you.

PR, Content and SEO are merging, so we invited an Earned Media Expert to dissect this shift. Nikki Lam, Head of Earned Media at NP Digital and Samanyou Garg, CEO at Writesonic had a live fireside chat yesterday. They discussed the new brand visibility playbook, what has changed and practical insights on what kind of content brands should put out to get cited by AI. If you missed the discussion, the webinar recording is in the comments. We are coming up with more such interactive webinars with AI Search Experts, stay tuned!

We're hiring frontend engineers at Writesonic. But this is not for everyone. What you need to be: You have taste. Real taste. You notice when a button feels slightly off. When spacing is wrong. When an animation is 100ms too slow. It bothers you. You fix it even when nobody asked. You think like a user, not just a developer. Visually attractive and UX-friendly are the same thing to you, not a tradeoff. You care about performance. Bundle sizes, render cycles, load times. you think about this stuff naturally, not when someone files a complaint. Your core fundamentals are strong. You understand the web deeply. Not just the framework sitting on top of it. You use AI to move 10x faster. Not because you can't code without it. If your fundamentals are weak and AI is covering for you, please don't apply. We'll figure it out in the interview anyway. You're currently at a fast-moving startup or product company. You know what hustling looks like. You want to build something great, not just ship tickets. We will pay market-leading rates + overtime + ESOPs. 2+ years of experience. Strong portfolio. High standards. Email my EA at disha [at] writesonic [dot] com with your **latest resume, LinkedIn and the link to a recent deployed website** you built from scratch end to end. Note: Emails without a portfolio or a recently built project will be ignored.

We keep saying "align your teams." But do we actually do it? 🤔 PR chases mentions. SEO chases rankings. Content chases clicks. Meanwhile, AI is quietly building a picture of your brand from ALL of it. And if those pieces don't fit together? Your brand simply doesn't show up. This is the problem nobody's talking about loudly enough in 2026. Join Nikki Lam (NP Digital) and Samanyou Garg (Writesonic) who will be breaking this down live what's actually driving AI visibility in 2026 and what you can do about it. 📅 April 14 | 12 PM ET 🔗 Link in comments #AISearch #MarketingIn2026 #SEO #PR #ContentStrategy
