Case Study

Targeted content placement in AI search

Targeted content placement in AI search

Our hypothesis: Targeted brand placement in AI-relevant sources sustainably increases AI Visibility

When a brand is deliberately placed in articles that are already used as sources for AI-generated answers, the likelihood of being mentioned in generative search systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews increases. By integrating BENKERT BÄNKE into thematically relevant, trustworthy content environments, the brand becomes a natural recommendation — with a measurable effect on mentions, impressions, and competitive ranking.

This case demonstrates that targeted placement of relevant mentions can not only significantly increase presence in generative AI systems, but also secure long-term competitive strength. Despite dynamic algorithm changes, such as the GPT Core Update, the client was able to consistently hold its ground against competitors. The increased likelihood of being mentioned in AI-generated answers underscores the lasting effect of strategically anchoring a brand in trustworthy, thematically relevant sources.

Our
measures

Screening & Analysis

Systematic screening of 1,464 articles over a four-month observation period to identify content already being cited as a source in AI search results. The goal was to find thematically relevant, trustworthy content environments in which a brand placement would be credible and have a lasting impact.

Content Outreach & Placement

Targeted outreach to the identified articles and integration of the brand into this existing content. The brand was placed contextually as a natural recommendation — not as a mere mention, but embedded within thematically coherent, trustworthy expert articles. In total, 13 new brand mentions were built this way.

Monitoring & Success Measurement

Continuous tracking of mentions, citations, sentiment, and visibility throughout the entire observation period to demonstrate the impact of the placed mentions on AI Visibility in competitive comparison — even across algorithm updates.
