Get Featured in AI's Best-Of Lists
How to position your brand to appear in AI-generated 'best of' and 'top' recommendations.
Overview
'Best of' lists are generated when users ask AI for 'best [product] for [use case]' or 'top [solutions] in [category]'. These queries have high purchase intent and strong influence.
Why It Matters
Being included in AI's 'best of' lists puts you in front of high-intent buyers. These users are actively looking to purchase and rely on AI to narrow their options. Missing from these lists means missing qualified leads.
How It Works
