Why AI Doesn't Recommend Your Startup
A field guide to a quiet problem: when a customer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini for the best tool in your category, your startup never comes up. This story breaks down the five reasons AI models skip you - missing authority signals, sparse public information, weak documentation, few third-party mentions, and inconsistent messaging - and lays out how to fix each one. The core idea: AI doesn't invent authority, it reflects it. If the open web doesn't clearly, consistently, and repeatedly describe what you do, the model has nothing to recommend.
