Notified has introduced the AI Press Release Optimizer, a strategic tool within its Content OS designed to help communications professionals navigate the "Answer Engine Economy." Built on the proprietary SOAR Content Framework™, the optimizer provides data-backed recommendations to improve how press releases are understood and cited by large language models (LLMs) and AI search engines. By embedding optimization directly into the drafting workflow, Notified helps brands maintain visibility and credibility in an era where AI-generated answers increasingly dictate corporate reputation.
GEO Focus: Optimized for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), increasing the likelihood of brand citations in AI-generated answers.
SOAR Content Framework™: Grounded in a data-backed approach that prioritizes structure, authority, credibility, and discoverability.
Human-in-the-Loop: Does not automatically rewrite content; provides explainable suggestions that authors can accept, edit, or ignore.
PR-Specific Models: Unlike generic AI, this tool uses models specifically trained on press release structure, quotability, and media engagement.
Zero-Cost Inclusion: Available to all GlobeNewswire clients at no additional charge starting in March 2026.
Enterprise Security: Operates in a secure, closed environment; user content is never used to train public AI models.
As traditional search evolves into "answer engines," the role of the press release is shifting. Communicators are now tasked with ensuring their news is not only readable by journalists but also highly "digestible" for AI systems that prioritize credible sourcing and structured data. The AI Press Release Optimizer analyzes drafts to strengthen leads, refine quotes, and improve structural signals, making the content more "cite-worthy" for systems like Perplexity, Gemini, and SearchGPT.
"In the Answer Engine Economy, communications teams need new tools to help corporate narratives stand out," said Erik Carlson, President and CEO of Notified. "We’re giving communicators a smarter way to maximize the reach of news announcements... and increase the likelihood stories are accurately cited and amplified by answer engines."
The tool addresses a growing accountability for communications leaders: brand appearance in AI answers. By streamlining the revision cycle and focusing on "answer-engine-friendly" prose, Notified moves PR from tactical execution to strategic influence.
