Keep the raw answers in plain text files named by date, assistant and run number, rather than pasting them into a document that gets reformatted.

Every answer arrives with numbered citations you can click, which means you can reverse engineer what it rewards without guessing. Most assistants hide this. Perplexity puts it on the page. Citation happens at the level of a passage, not a page. A model attaches a source to a specific claim it lifted, which means the real unit of work is a paragraph that stays true and useful once it has been removed from everything around it. Writing Prompts That Sound Like Customers The foundational skill is deceptively mundane. Somebody has to write the questions your buyers actually ask, in their words, without the category vocabulary your team uses internally. What you are looking for is whether the questions sound like a buyer wrote them. If every prompt contains the client's category name phrased the way an internal marketing team would phrase it, they have tested how the brand talks rather than how customers ask. What can legitimately be committed to is process: the prompt set will be run on a schedule, the raw answers will be kept, specific technical fixes will be made by a date, a defined number of third party listings will be corrected. Commitments about inputs are honest. Commitments about outputs are not. Generative Engine Optimization The broadest of the three in common use. It refers to being visible in systems that generate an answer rather than returning a list, which covers assistants, AI summaries on results pages and any interface that synthesises rather than links. So the work splits in two. Make your own pages quotable, which you control entirely, and get accurately represented on the pages that already get cited, which you control only partly. Neither half works alone. What It Is Doing Under the Hood Simplified, the sequence runs like this. Your question is rewritten into one or more search queries. Results come back. A subset of pages is fetched and read. The model composes an answer from what it read and attaches citations to the specific claims it lifted. What It Costs You in Time A fair question, since the reason most owners outsource this is that they do not want to think about it. The honest answer is that the technical and content work can be handled entirely by someone else, but two things need you. Agree the Reporting Before You Sign Settle this in the contract rather than discovering it in month three. A useful monthly report contains the prompt set, the raw answers, which competitors were named, which sources were cited, what changed against last month, and what work was done that might explain the change. Inside your own organisation, the useful move is to write a single sentence defining whichever term you adopt and put it wherever your team will see it. Most of the confusion these acronyms cause is internal rather than external, with two people using the same word for different scopes and discovering the mismatch three months into a project. One further term worth watching for is any acronym an agency has coined itself. A proprietary framework name is not evidence of proprietary capability, and it is frequently a way to make comparison between proposals harder. The response is the same as for the established terms: ignore the label and ask which surfaces get measured, how often, and what evidence you receive. Whether It Is Worth Doing Yet That depends on your category. If your buyers research before they commit, the exposure is already there and waiting is a choice with a cost. If people buy from you on price or proximity without research, this can safely sit lower on your list. A small habit pays off here more than it should. Give each substantial page a short section that states the plain facts in one place: what the thing is, what it costs, how long it takes, who it suits and who it does not. That block is disproportionately likely to be the passage that gets lifted, because it answers several likely questions in a form that survives extraction, and it costs almost nothing to add to a page you were writing anyway.
