Digital PR for AI… Overhyped?
Everyone says digital PR is the key to AI visibility—but when you actually test it, the story changes. In this video, we break down what really happens when AI models choose who to recommend, and why PR alone won’t get you there.
You’ll see where PR does matter, how it shapes authority behind the scenes, and why most businesses are focusing on the wrong layer. If you want to actually show up in AI-driven results, this is the shift you need to understand.
