so is the idea to slowly fix a situation like Rover's competitors being listed in not just ChatGPT but all the major AI chats within 90 days or so? Are the models really being updated often enough to make these changes happen?

I feel like I might seen those same Rover results for the next 2 years no matter what you try?

With the move to RAG and models being open to the Internet now - results are changing more quickly. Also we ran an analysis, and for ChatGPT 4o, 51% of the sources/citations were posted in the last 90 days and 82% from the last 12 months.

I see. I just did a claude search:

So this is all going to a google ad words bidding type system I'm guessing. There will be the new SEO side but also no one can resist a pay for ranking higher system.

We fully expect a paid ad model to appear - perplexity seems to be the first in that direction. That being said - we see this more about managing your reputation ala credit score per the other comment than the absolute ranking game that traditional search has become.
