RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
A technique where AI systems retrieve real-time information from the web to generate more accurate, up-to-date responses.
Understanding RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
RAG allows AI models to access current web content rather than relying solely on training data. When users query ChatGPT with web search or use Perplexity, RAG is retrieving and synthesizing content from websites. For AI visibility, being selected as a RAG source means your content is cited and linked in AI responses, driving referral traffic and authority.
