Chapter 7: Expert Commentary and Reactive PR: Getting Named in the Answer
A quote attributed to a named person in a credible publication builds two entities at once, and the machines read the attribution as carefully as the quote.
So Chapter 7 opens.
THE BOOK
What does this chapter argue?
Reactive PR has long been a volume game for links, and for AI visibility each attributed quote states, in a journalist's words, who the person is and which brand they represent. A transcript counts as press.
The attribution line is the asset, so the exact name, title and brand go in the first line of every response; a spokesperson described three ways becomes three weak entities. Comment is worth giving on the questions buyers ask the machines, and podcast and interview transcripts count as press.
