## AI Search Knowledge Base

DiamondBack publishes the whole method for answer engine optimization, sourced to Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Ahrefs, Pew Research, Semrush and the Princeton GEO paper. Google's position, which we quote and agree with, is that optimizing for its AI features is still SEO and needs no special files or markup.
