{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Found means the AI discovered your content during its scanning or indexing. Mentioned means the AI mentions your content within an answer but without explicit linking. Cited means the AI includes an explicit reference or link to your content as supporting evidence. Recommended means the AI identifies your content as a credible option among others for a given question. Referred means the AI directs the user toward your content as the next step or primary source. These signals matter because they show different levels of AI engagement with your knowledge. Measure them with observable signals like retrievals, citations, and referrals, and maintain traceability so you can assess whether AI is using your content rather than merely surfacing it. Remember, there is no guaranteed outcome, but these signals help you understand and improve AI visibility over time.","answer_source":"approved_business_brain_plus_current_intelligence","category":"AI Visibility","category_slug":"ai-visibility","created_at":"2026-09-12T19:30:45+00:00","daily_publish_cap":5,"date_published":"2026-09-12","display_date":"2026-09-12","drip_batch":"daily_otc_mixed_intelligence_layer","drip_status":"published_topup","editor_images":[],"editor_media_build":"","editor_videos":[],"id":"otc-daily-20260912-3a3d99ab","image_ids":[],"image_url":"","last_updated":"2026-09-12T19:31:57+00:00","local_cache_status":"pending_airtable_sync","publish_status":"published","published":true,"published_at":"2026-09-12T19:30:45+00:00","question":"What is the difference between being found, mentioned, cited, recommended and referred by an AI system?","question_intent":"natural_otc_conversation","rss_enabled":true,"rss_pub_date":"Sat, 12 Sep 2026 19:30:45 GMT","scheduled_for":"2026-09-12T19:30:45+00:00","schema_enabled":true,"site_key":"owntheconversationonline","slug":"what-is-the-difference-between-being-found-mentioned-cited-recommended-and-referred-by-an-ai-system","source":"daily_qa_otc_current_intelligence","source_queue_id":"","source_record_ids":[],"source_type":"daily_qa_otc_current_intelligence","source_urls":["https://thegeolab.net/ai-referral-traffic-measurement","https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/search/google-search-ai-mode-update"],"status":"active","tags":["ai-visibility","ai-mode","citations","daily OTC conversation","current intelligence","daily drip"],"updated_at":"2026-09-12T19:31:57+00:00"}
