How to use DropInBlog’s Mention Boost™
Mention Boost™ increases your blog’s chances of showing up in AI-based searches. Follow the tool’s suggestions to make your content AI-friendly.
Access Mention Boost™
When you open the editor, click on the Mention Boost™ link on the left side of the screen to access the Mention Boost™ section below the editor.
You’ll see all the items that improve your post’s AI-friendliness:
If you see a green square next to these items, that means your post has met the required criteria for appearing in AI overviews, LLMs like ChatGPT, and other AI-based searches. If there’s a red square next to any of these items, follow the tool’s suggestions to improve the content’s AI-friendliness. Making any changes to your content will immediately reflect on your Mention Boost™ score because it’s updated in real time.
Headings
Mention Boost™ checks if your content uses the proper heading structure, with higher heading levels preceding the lower ones. For example, after an H2 heading level, you can either add another H2 heading or an H3 level subheading.
When naming your headings, use titles that clearly explain the content of their preceding sections. If possible, try to phrase heading titles as questions, as LLMs prefer question-answer-based content.
If you aren’t sure if you’ve used a particular heading correctly, choose a different one and check if your Mention Boost™ score changes.
Keep in mind that blog post titles are automatically set to an H1 heading level. Any other headings you add to your content should have an H2 heading level or lower.
Table of contents
A table of contents helps users and AI engines understand your content at a glance, which is why you should include a ToC in your posts.
To enable this feature in your DropInBlog account, toggle the switch next to Show Table of Contents from within the post editor.
FAQs
AI tools such as ChatGPT and Perplexity favor FAQ content. When adding FAQs to your blog posts, ensure the questions are clear, concise, and aligned with the user’s search intent.
DropInBlog features an FAQ builder that utilizes schema data, making it easy to add question-answer styled content that AI search engines can easily read. To make an FAQ section visible on your blog, open the post editor and turn on the switch next to Show FAQs.
After that, you can easily add your content from within the FAQ builder.
Structured content
AI can easily extract data from lists and tables, which is why including them in your content will help you get noticed by AI.
Using these elements, you can add visual breaks to your content in a skimmable format.
To add lists to your content, open the DropInBlog editor and look for the Ordered List and Unordered List under Everything Else.
In the same row, you’ll find the tables icon.
Click on it, select the number of columns and rows you want the table to have, and add your content. For optimal use of tables, we suggest adding feature breakdowns, price comparisons, and pros/cons lists.
SEO Supercharger
Blogs powered by the SEO Supercharger use a unique static page technology that AI can easily read.
These blogs also have fast loading speeds. Since everyone loves fast-loading websites, including traditional and AI-driven search engines and users, we advise you to enable the SEO Supercharger for your blog.
For step-by-step instructions on how to turn on this feature, read our guides about:
If you aren’t sure whether your blog uses the SEO Supercharger, open the Settings page from your DropInBlog account. If you haven’t connected Cloudflare to your account, you’ll see the option to do so.
Product embeds
With product embeds, you can easily add relevant product information and create a convenient shopping experience for your visitors, which translates to a great user experience. Keep in mind that product embeds are only shown to Shopify, Big Cartel, and BigCommerce users.
We’ve made it easy to insert products into your content. Simply click on the shopping bag icon at the top of the blog editor.
In the pop-up that appears, select the product you want to include in your content. That’s it! Note that you can embed multiple products per post.
After you add all of these elements to your blog post, you’ll get a perfect Mention Boost™ score, indicating your content is optimized for AI searches.
Save your changes and start tracking your blog’s performance in AI search engines.
Happy blogging!
