Grounding

Techniques that connect AI responses to verified, factual information sources to reduce hallucinations and improve accuracy.

Understanding Grounding

Grounding anchors AI outputs to real data, documents, or knowledge bases. Grounded AI systems cite sources and verify claims against known information. For AI visibility, grounding is crucial—being a trusted, verifiable source means AI systems are more likely to ground their responses in your content. Clear facts, citations, and authoritative content improve your grounding potential.
