How to Optimise Your Brand Content for AI Tools Like ChatGPT and Gemini
Learn how to structure and write content that gets surfaced, summarised, and cited by AI tools.
It’s Not Just About Ranking — It’s About Being Recalled
Unlike traditional search, AI tools summarise, reference, and recommend. Your content needs to be clear, direct, and context-rich.
Practical Techniques:
Use question-based headers to align with user intent
Most queries in AI tools begin as questions. Headers like “What is Generative Engine Optimisation?” or “How does brand strategy influence AI visibility?” help AI engines instantly identify content relevance. According to BrightEdge, question-based content consistently earns more featured AI snippets.
Structure answers in short paragraphs, bullet points, and concise summaries
AI engines prefer content that’s broken into logical chunks. Limit each paragraph to 2–3 sentences, use bullet points for clarity, and provide a 1–2 sentence summary wherever possible. This helps tools like Perplexity.ai and SGE lift the most relevant data quickly.
Include authoritative tone and internal references
AI prioritises answers from credible sources. Write with confident, expert-driven language and reference your own case studies, frameworks, or guides (e.g., “At DWHQ, we implement this through our AI-Optimised Copywriting System.”). This builds perceived authority and increases the likelihood of being cited.
Optimise your brand story in third person
First-person voice can be hard for AI tools to reframe. Instead of “We help brands grow,” write “DWHQ helps brands grow through AI-driven creative strategy.” It’s more quotable, objective, and aligned with how generative models construct responses.
