AI-First Content Strategy
An AI-First Content Strategy is a comprehensive approach to content creation that prioritizes optimization for AI systems and platforms from the initial planning and writing phases.
Why It Matters
This strategy moves beyond traditional keyword targeting to focus on fulfilling user intent comprehensively, demonstrating deep Topical Authority, and structuring content for maximum extractability and factual clarity. The goal is to ensure the content is viewed as an expert source, making it highly suitable for citation and reference by large language models and generative search engines.
How We Use It at Soprano
We assume an AI will read our content before a human does. We structure our data to be machine-readable (using Schema and clear logic) so the machine can recommend it to the human.
