Rank in the AI Era: A Business Owner’s Guide to AI Search Optimization

Be Seen. Be Chosen. Be the Answer.

Search has changed—and it’s not slowing down. AI-driven platforms like Google SGE, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT, and Perplexity now deliver answers directly to your customers before they ever visit your site. If you don’t adapt, expect fewer clicks, fewer leads, and fewer sales.

In Rank in the AI Era: A Business Owner’s Guide to AI Search Optimization, digital strategist Ryan Bailes gives you the exact playbook to stay relevant and profitable in this new search reality. Drawing from real-world results across industries, this guide shows you how to:

• Make your business AI-ready with llms.txt, schema markup, and structured data
• Build trust and authority so AI platforms choose you as the source
• Create content for conversational answers, voice search, and zero-click results
• Use PR, listings, and backlinks to dominate AI-powered search results
• Stay ahead of algorithm changes before your competitors catch up

Packed with checklists, examples, and proven strategies, this is not theory—it’s action.

If your business depends on being found online, stop chasing rankings. Start owning the answer.
