What AI actually rewards

A 2026 citation analysis of 34,234 AI generated responses showed a surprising gap. Only 0.6% of ChatGPT responses cited specific brands. Perplexity reached 13%. Grok reached 27%.

Why such a difference?

Because AI systems do not reward random content. They reward signals of quality and trust:

• Deep and authoritative content, not short blog fillers
• Real authors with experience and a visible track record
• Clear answers that can be understood and extracted easily
• Fresh content that stays updated
• Original thinking, real experience, and case studies
• Connected content where multiple authors strengthen the platform together

Read that list again.

These are not trends. These are signals AI already uses.

And every one of them matches the way #PUBlish was designed.
