Google First Page Ranking (The Most Standard Method)<\/h3>\n\n<p>By ranking high on Google through SEO, you&#8217;ll automatically be cited by AI. This is currently the most stable and proven method. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Improve Indexing Speed  Website Optimization<\/h3>\n\n<p>This method optimizes your website to quickly transmit data when AI bots visit. It&#8217;s a popular approach in the US, and I&#8217;ve invested about 10 million won in its development. Large corporations like Shinhan Bank use it, but the cost is still high for small and medium-sized businesses to adopt.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Build Backlinks<\/h3>\n\n<p>When other reputable sites link to yours, the likelihood of AI citation increases. Google&#8217;s first patent was precisely related to backlinks. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strategies Differ by Country<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>A common question I receive during global marketing lectures is, &#8220;Which country should we target?&#8221;<br\/>From my experience:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Japan<\/strong>: Although it&#8217;s Yahoo Japan, it&#8217;s actually Google-based.
