AI Search 2026: What Actually Works — and What Doesn't
Your customers aren't just Googling anymore. They're asking ChatGPT, Copilot, and Grok.
AI search engines now route real traffic to websites — and a single citation inside ChatGPT can influence a buying decision without ever generating a click you can track.
How to win in the new AI search era:
✓ Optimize for citations, not just clicks — both matter now
✓ Write self-contained paragraphs that AI systems can quote directly
✓ Use named entities and specific details, not vague generalities
✓ Different AI engines source differently — Grok uses X, ChatGPT Shopping uses Google product feeds
Pegotec helps clients optimize content for both classic SEO and AI answer engines.
