{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Short answer: start by turning your known knowledge into a structured Digital Twin that AI can understand and cite. Begin with an AI Visibility Scan to identify gaps between your website and the AI surface, then publish a small set of connected Q&A pages that cover core offerings, locations and policies, all linked to stable facts in your Business Brain. Add media with clear image-context captions and transcripts where possible, and keep evidence pages that AI can reference. Finally, measure success with signals like conversation citations and AI-driven referral sessions rather than traffic metrics alone.
