Understanding PR for AI
-
PR for AI is a strategic communications approach that optimises public relations content for visibility in AI-generated responses. This includes platforms like ChatGPT (used by 800 million weekly users), Google AI Overviews (appearing in over 50% of search results), Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity.
The practice combines traditional PR tactics with AI influencing media lists and content optimisation techniques that help large language models (LLMs) recognise, cite, and recommend brands as authoritative sources.

Traditional PR focuses on securing media coverage through journalist relationships and press outreach. PR for AI extends this approach by:
Multi-platform presence: Ensuring consistent messaging across AI-indexed sourcesContent structure optimisation: Formatting content with clear headings, bullet points, and schema markup
Authority signal building: Earning positive, contextual brand mentions across multiple credible sources
Query alignment: Matching content to common user search patterns and questions
Content structure optimisation: Formatting content with clear headings, bullet points, and schema markup
Studies indicate that brands mentioned in AI responses see 34% higher brand recall compared to traditional search results alone.

AI visibility measures how frequently and prominently a brand appears in responses generated by large language models when users ask relevant industry questions.
Key metrics include:
Brand Visibility: Percentage of prompts mentioning your brand
Domain Visibility: Percentage of prompts that cited your website
Sentiment: Whether mentions are positive and relevant
Brand Ranking: A ranking based on total brand mentions
