How to Show up in AI Results in 2026 with Elizaveta Shutova (NEWBIE)

Additionally, she advises distributing content on user‑generated platforms and building an "authority threshold" so AI models trust and cite your brand, highlighting that buying vetted backlinks remains a common, effective practice.
