It's the official one-year anniversary of Found in AI! 

In this solo episode, I go back through the entire Found in AI archive and pull out the five-step strategy for AI search visibility — built from a year of guest conversations, prompt tests, and a few things I got wrong along the way.

What's covered:

• Why AI search visibility is a cross-functional problem that shows up looking like a content problem
• The five-step strategy: Describe → Structure → Refresh → Corroborate → Measure
• How the FSA Framework (Freshness, Structure, Authority) fits into a broader visibility strategy
• Why fixing your brand description across surfaces is step one — before you touch your content
• The weekly assignment you can do in an afternoon to find your actual roadmap
