Draft:AI visibility optimization

Submission declined on 4 August 2025 by Pythoncoder (talk).

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

How to improve a draft

Help:Wikitext – how to use the markup
Help:Referencing for beginners – how to include references
Wikipedia:Article development – how to develop your article
Wikipedia:Writing better articles – how to improve your article
Wikipedia:Verifiability – make sure your article includes reliable third-party sources

You can also browse Wikipedia:Featured articles and Wikipedia:Good articles to find examples of Wikipedia's best writing on topics similar to your proposed article.

Improving your odds of a speedy review

To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.

Comment: Haha get it? I used AI to write an article about AI. It’s so funny, guys. Wait, why is nobody laughing? —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 12:47, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

AI visibility optimization (AIVO) is a set of strategies, techniques, and content structures designed to improve the retrievability, referenceability, and contextual ranking of information within large language model (LLM) environments such as ChatGPT, Claude (AI), and Gemini (Google AI). AIVO aims to enhance visibility in response to natural language queries, where traditional search engine optimization (SEO) no longer determines ranking through surface-level result pages.

Context and Emergence

The shift from keyword-driven search engines to conversational, generative AI systems has created a visibility gap for content that is not indexed through standard crawling or ranked in search engine result pages (SERPs). While methods like Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) have attempted to address this, AIVO represents a more structured, ecosystem-aware approach that treats LLMs as context-aware, probabilistic retrieval systems rather than list-based search engines.^[1]

Methodology

Core components of AIVO include:

**Structured citations**: Ensuring content is embedded in verifiable, third-party sources that LLMs are trained on or retrieve during query resolution
**Schema markup and entity disambiguation**: Using metadata to clarify entity relationships and reduce hallucination risk
**Persistent referenceable assets**: Creating and maintaining pages or documents that are likely to be surfaced or cited within model outputs
**Prompt-seeding and indexing**: Designing content that maps to likely user intents or prompt patterns in generative environments

Relation to Other Disciplines

While SEO remains relevant for traditional web-based search engines, and AEO focuses on featured snippets, AIVO is designed for **post-SERP** environments. GEO introduced prompt-awareness but lacks systemic structure.^[2]

AIVO also intersects with areas like semantic search, conversational AI, and AI alignment, particularly in contexts where content provenance and accuracy affect LLM outputs.

Applications

AIVO techniques are being adopted by:

**Digital marketers**: Seeking visibility in AI-generated product recommendations
**Academic institutions**: Structuring research metadata for AI retrievability
**Reputation managers**: Ensuring accurate representation of individuals and organizations in chatbot summaries
**SaaS platforms**: Offering AI visibility optimization tools for enterprise clients

Standards

The AIVO methodology is currently being formalized through efforts such as the AIVO Standard, a structured framework for AI visibility developed in response to limitations in GEO and SEO-based models.^[3]
