How AI Search REALLY WORKS (and Why 66% of Keywords Are Random)

Описание: Did you know AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews don’t just use the query a user types in?

They secretly expand it into 2–5 hidden fan-out queries — and those keywords are what actually determine whether your brand shows up in the AI-generated response.

Here’s the problem:
66% of these keywords are completely unpredictable
You might be ranking #1 in Google, but still miss out on AI mentions
Traditional keyword-by-keyword SEO isn’t enough anymore

The good news? Surfer’s research team analyzed 1,600+ AI search queries and discovered how to turn this chaos into opportunity.

👉 In this new Surfer Academy video, Matt Kenyon breaks it all down:
How AI generates hidden keywords behind every search
Why randomness makes targeting individual AI keywords impossible
The clustering strategy that lets you capture AI visibility at scale
