LinkedIn draft · in your CEO’s voice From: “How long does AEO take?”

Your website is one source. AI reads many.

For B2B questions, LinkedIn and Reddit rank among the five most-cited domains. And to AI, your expert’s post there counts as an outside source.

LinkedIn

Yes, AI cites LinkedIn.

Articles and posts get cited. Both are already indexed by Google.

Reddit

Where buyers ask what they won’t ask sales.

Open, candid threads that AI engines cite heavily.

If your experts aren’t in these conversations, someone else’s are.

CEO · direct, big-picture

Every board meeting this year has had the same question in it: why don’t we show up when buyers ask AI about our category?

Head of Product · specific, technical

We tracked a set of real buyer questions across four AI engines. The first thing to move wasn’t our website. Here’s what it was.

Customer Success lead · story-led

A customer asked me last week why their competitor shows up in AI answers and they don’t. My answer surprised them.

2. Get the right expert engaging in the right thread, at the right time

When Rocksalt surfaces a relevant thread, it notifies the right expert automatically, so they can join while the conversation is still live.

  • Threads are matched to the topics and buyer questions you care about
  • Each thread goes to the person whose expertise fits it
  • On Reddit, guidance on when to comment and when to post, based on each subreddit’s rules and the person’s karma

One effort builds authority with two audiences at once.

Your buyers

They see your people answering the questions they’re asking, in the places they go to research. That builds trust long before they talk to sales.

AI search

Every credible post and reply adds a third-party source AI engines can draw on when they answer questions about your category.

Questions marketers ask us

Do AI engines actually cite LinkedIn posts?

Yes. LinkedIn articles are cited regularly. Many LinkedIn posts are also indexed by Google, so they appear in search results outside LinkedIn, where AI engines can find and cite them.

Why does offsite visibility matter for AEO?

According to AirOps’ 2026 State of AI Search report, about 85% of brand mentions in AI-generated answers come from third-party sources rather than a company’s own website. For B2B, LinkedIn and Reddit are consistently among the most-cited domains.

Will our team get flagged or banned on Reddit?

Rocksalt guides each person from Reddit novice to expert: when to comment, when to start a post, and how to stay within each subreddit’s rules, based on their karma. That keeps their participation authentic, their content safe and their accounts in good standing.

Our executives won’t post. Will this still work?

Most executives won’t write posts themselves, and Rocksalt is built for that. Marketing does the heavy lifting: Rocksalt drafts each post from your original content in the executive’s own voice and point of view, so all they need to do is review and post.

Does Rocksalt post on our behalf?

No. Rocksalt never posts on LinkedIn or Reddit for anyone. Every post and reply is published by the person whose name is on it.

Won’t AI-drafted posts all sound the same?

That’s the problem Rocksalt is built to avoid. Drafts are personalized to each executive or expert’s voice and point of view, so five people sharing the same insight write five different posts.

How does Rocksalt decide which expert to notify?

When the platform surfaces a hot thread relevant to your company, it matches the topic to the people on your team with the right expertise, then tags and notifies them automatically.

Put your experts where the answers come from.
