“Where should we publish GEO content?” is the wrong first question.
A better question is: where does AI already look for this topic?
That is the purpose of AI Source Mapping.
Take a set of buyer-like prompts and run them across the target AI platforms. For each answer, record:
- brands mentioned
- sources cited
- source type
- repeated domains
- wrong facts
- answer structure
The pattern matters.
If AI keeps citing Reddit threads, community discussion may matter. If it cites official documentation, first-source pages need to be stronger. If it cites LinkedIn or industry blogs, expert-led posts may help. If it cites outdated competitor content, there may be a gap to fill.
This prevents blind distribution.
At Mingde, we use source mapping before building a distribution plan. The goal is not to publish everywhere. The goal is to place useful, verifiable content where the answer engine already expects to find evidence.
