4 AI Ranking Examples Perform — And What You Can Learn From Them

TL;DR: AI search is transforming how people find information online. If you're not visible in tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok, you're not part of the conversation. Let's break down four real-world examples of brands already winning in AI search—and how your business can do the same.

The New Frontier: AI Search

First things first—this isn't just SEO. Traditional SEO focuses on "blue links"—search results you scroll through. But AI search, through tools like Claude, Grok, and ChatGPT, skips the scrolling. It gives summaries. If you're not part of that answer, you're invisible.

Think about how people search now:

“Who's the best business coach in Sydney?” “Show me top examples of customer experience design.” “Best platforms for AI-enhanced analytics?”

These aren't keywords. They're prompts. And AI tools reply with curated answers—often linking directly to a handful of credible sources. Your goal? Be that trusted source.
