3 Simple Steps to Get AI to RECOMMEND YOU
If AI cannot clearly connect your name to your expertise, it will confidently recommend your competitors instead.
The AI Recommendation Economy
People are not just searching on Google anymore. They are asking AI.
They type things like:
“Who are the best business coaches for beginners?”
“Who teaches practical AI for entrepreneurs?”
“Who should I follow to learn Instagram growth?”
If your name does not show up in those answers, you are invisible.
Being recommended by AI is becoming a new form of word of mouth. When an AI tool suggests your name, it builds instant trust. Most users assume the recommendation is based on strong data. That makes it powerful.
If you are a coach, consultant, or service provider, this matters. AI is becoming a new discovery layer. Millions of people are using it instead of Google. If AI does not recognize you as an expert, it will recommend someone else.
One practitioner tested this. After years of building a business, they asked major AI tools to recommend experts in their field. Their name did not appear at all. That meant the AI systems did not see them as a recognized expert. After making changes for six weeks, traffic from an AI platform began showing up in their analytics. The system had learned who they were.
Here is how you can check your own visibility.
The 2-Minute Visibility Test
Open a fresh private browser window. Then ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini these questions:
“Who are the best [your specialty] creators?”
“Can you recommend someone who [does what you do]?”
“I’m looking for a [your title] who specializes in [your niche].”
“What experts should I learn from about [your topic]?”
Take screenshots of the answers.
If your name does not appear, you are invisible in the AI recommendation system.
Why Google Rankings Do Not Guarantee AI Visibility
You might rank well on Google. That does not mean AI will recommend you.
Google focuses on pages. It asks, “Is this page relevant to the search?”
AI focuses on people. It asks, “Is this person a recognized expert I can safely recommend?”
That is a big difference.
Google rewards keywords and backlinks. AI rewards clear identity and strong signals that you are a known authority.
If AI is not confident about who you are, it will not suggest you.
The 3 Signals AI Looks For
AI systems seem to rely on three main signals
1. Clear Identity
Your name needs to be strongly connected to your specialty.
For example:
“Jane Smith – Pinterest Marketing Strategist.”
If your name is not clearly tied to what you do, AI may not connect the dots.
2. Consistency Across Platforms
If your bio says one thing on Instagram, something different on LinkedIn, and something else on your website, AI gets confused.
Use the same title.
Use the same keywords.
Describe your work in the same way everywhere.
Simple and consistent works best.
3. Presence in Multiple Places
AI trusts information that appears in more than one location.
If you are only active on one platform, your authority looks weaker.
If your name and expertise appear across several platforms, AI has more proof.
More signals create more trust.
The Role of Community Platforms
Many people assume polished websites matter most.
In reality, community platforms can have strong influence. Helpful answers in public forums, thoughtful discussions, and clear expertise shown in real conversations can carry weight.
AI tools read public content. They look for patterns. They notice when your name repeatedly appears connected to your topic.
Even if a platform does not pass traditional SEO value, AI can still learn from the content itself.
A Simple Action Plan
Run the 2-minute visibility test.
Write a clear, simple bio that connects your name to your specialty.
Use the same wording everywhere.
Show up in multiple public spaces where your topic is discussed.
Encourage others to mention your name and your method.
There is a limited window before everyone starts optimizing for AI recommendations. Right now, many experts are still invisible.
The key idea is simple:
If AI cannot confidently describe who you are and what you are known for, it will not recommend you.
Make it easy for AI to understand you.
Make it easy for AI to trust you.
That is how you become visible in the new recommendation economy.
