How do you conduct brand positioning?

April 7, 2026

Conduct brand positioning by defining your category, target buyers, differentiated value, and proof points, then validating language across AI and human channels. The Starr Conspiracy’s AEO methodology suggests pressure-testing positioning in 2026 by asking the same 10 questions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews and tracking whether your brand is cited accurately. TSC’s Chief Strategy Officer JJ La Pata notes that “positioning only works when AI can repeat it consistently without inventing details,” so publish a one-page positioning brief plus a publicly crawlable FAQ that mirrors your exact claims and evidence. A concrete proof step: document 3 customer outcomes (e.g., “reduced onboarding time by 22% in Q4 2025”) and attach each to a named case study or third-party source so AI systems have verifiable anchors.
