Part of GEOly's "GEO / AEO Expert Watch" series — meet Ryan Law, a quick map of their public work and where to follow them, with links to the original sources.
Who is Ryan Law
Director of Content Marketing at Ahrefs and formerly CMO at Animalz, Ryan documents how content teams put AI to work — from custom GPT workflows to content engineering with Claude Code. He writes candidly about when AI-generated content helps or hurts visibility in an era of AI Overviews and zero-click search.
These experts believe whether content gets cited by AI depends heavily on how widely it is distributed and mentioned by third parties. You do not just write — you get referenced everywhere. Their recurring focus areas include: AI content, content strategy, Ahrefs.
What GEO / AEO practitioners can learn from Ryan Law
- Third-party mentions are fuel: an LLM’s world model comes from web-scale text, so consistent mentions on Reddit, media and communities reinforce how AI sees you.
- Create once, distribute everywhere: reshape core ideas for each platform to widen the surface area that gets crawled and cited.
- Narrative consistency: keep the same facts and positioning across channels so AI is not left unsure of you.

What it means for brands going global
Global-facing brands often invest only in their own site while neglecting being mentioned across overseas communities and media. Publishing around real user questions and earning consistent third-party references is how you get AI to name you in its answers.
Want to see how your own brand shows up across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers — and how you stack up against competitors? That is exactly what GEOly's brand GEO audit measures: citations, share of mentions and answer share, tracked over time.
