Guides & Resources
15 practical guides, comparisons and methods to optimize your presence in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI responses.
AI visibility is a complex topic. Between the acronyms (AEO, GEO, E-E-A-T, SERP), the constantly evolving tools, and strategies that change with every language model update, it's easy to get lost. These guides exist to give you clear, tested, and actionable methods.
Each guide is the result of our audits and technical experience across 200+ web projects. These are not recycled theoretical articles. They are operational frameworks that we use ourselves at AISOS to achieve concrete results: first AI mentions in 90 days, citation rates going from 0% to 35%, and significant drops in acquisition costs.
We've organized these guides into three categories for easy navigation. Foundational guides cover AI visibility basics: what it is, how it works, why it's urgent. Platform-specific guides detail strategies for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. And comparisons help you make informed decisions between different approaches (SEO vs AEO, agency vs system, AI content vs human content).
If you're new to the topic, start with our complete guide to AI visibility in 2026. It covers everything you need to know in a single structured document. Then dive into specific guides based on your priorities.
To understand technical vocabulary, consult our AI visibility glossary. And to see how these strategies apply to your specific industry, head to our industry pages.
Each guide is self-contained: you can read it independently. But guides are interconnected through internal links that let you deepen your understanding of each concept. The recommended progression is: understand the fundamentals first, then tackle the platform-specific guides, and finally use the comparisons to refine your strategy.
If you prefer structured support over the DIY approach, AISOS offers plans that include audit, implementation, and continuous monitoring. Contact us for a personalized discussion.
