## Summary

AEOFast released *The AI Shortlist*, a strategy playbook for business owners, marketers, and agencies. The guide outlines 10 tactics developed through months of testing across **ChatGPT**, **Gemini**, **Google AI Mode**, and **Google AI Overviews**. The team wrote and published content, then repeatedly queried the same questions to observe which brands appeared in AI-generated answers.

Key findings include why citations sometimes omit brand names and how local business results vary. Flora Teh, AEOFast’s Community Manager, noted that seeing content cited does not guarantee visibility for the business. The playbook also explains how brands can measure progress and avoid misleading results. AEOFast offers automated tools for brands that prefer not to implement strategies manually.

## Key points

- Playbook shares 10 strategies from AEOFast’s testing across four AI platforms
- Tests found citations may omit brand names despite content inclusion
- AEOFast automates strategies for brands wanting hands-off implementation

## Why it matters

Helps small businesses and marketers optimize content for AI recommendations, reducing guesswork in search visibility.
