AI recommendations happen when an assistant or generative search names a company in an answer. For business this is a demand channel next to SEO and ads. You earn recommendations with verifiable facts and citable pages — not with prompt gimmicks.
How models decide whom to mention
They lean on consistent site facts, a clear brand entity, expert content with numbers and FAQ, and crawlable pages. Conflicting prices, dead mirrors, or a soft 404 on an old domain all hurt citation quality.

- Lock one canonical HTTPS URL.

Query examples

Strong answers live on factual pages like websites in Sochi, website pricing, and what is GEO.
