Hi, friends! Welcome to a new issue of the #CommsJobs newsletter. This week's edition comes to you for free thanks to our partners:
When someone asks AI what to buy, be the answer.
Search didn't die. It moved. Your buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity what to buy, and they act on the answer they get.
That answer is assembled from sources most companies have never looked at. If you're not in there, a competitor is.
ChatFeatured is the AEO platform that does the work to get you in AI answers: See exactly what AI says about you, and how you stack up against competitors on every major engine.
Ask the built-in analyst agent why AI skips you, and get the specific fixes. Publish content engineered to get cited, then watch every AI bot that crawls your site.
Vessel grew its AI visibility 2,200%+. Most customers see their first citations inside 7 days.
