Ensure AI Search Cites Your Verified Official Policy Record
Source provenance auditing and machine-readable evidence architecture for public affairs agencies, trade associations, think tanks, and civic institutions across the US, EU/UK, and Japan.
Global Gravity helps public affairs teams and policy institutions monitor and govern how ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews / Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Mistral Le Chat, and Yahoo! JAPAN summarize their official positions. Powered by CitationGraph and Brand Asset OS, we detect partisan pseudo-local news ("pink slime") or stale secondary citations and deploy structured first-party evidence (llms.txt, JSON-LD Schema, and verified policy fact sheets) on your canonical domain.
Why AI Platforms Treat Public Policy & Civic Queries Differently
Understanding the boundary between locked civic authority feeds and open web retrieval (RAG) is essential. Superficial PR stuffing fails against model guardrails; authoritative domain structuring wins.
| AI Search Surface & Crawler | Locked Official Authority Layer | Open Retrieval Layer (Where GEO Operates) | Global Gravity & CitationGraph Engineering |
|---|---|---|---|
ChatGPT Search (OpenAI) OAI-SearchBot / ChatGPT-User | Voting logistics & live election tallies are hardcoded to NASS (CanIVote.org), Democracy Works, AP, and Reuters. | Policy positions, legislative voting records, regulatory impact briefs, and institutional histories rely on open-web RAG retrieval. | Audits RAG source provenance to flag partisan pseudo-local sites; deploys /ai/*.md fact sheets and FAQPage Schema on official domains. |
Google Gemini & AI Overviews Googlebot / Google-Extended | Enforces "abundance of caution" classifier blocks on subjective candidate prompts, deflecting users back to standard Google Search. | 1) Top-3 organic Google Search results (capturing 100% of deflected Gemini queries); 2) Non-candidate regulatory, economic, and statutory AI Overviews. | Strengthens canonical technical SEO, SpeakableSpecification, and Organization/Service Schema so your official page captures deflected search traffic. |
Perplexity AI PerplexityBot / Perplexity-User | Election Hub integrates Democracy Works Elections API, Ballotpedia, and Associated Press live feeds. | Issue comparisons, bill analyses, and stakeholder commentary synthesized with mandatory inline numbered citations. | Structures dated, high-density policy tables and verifiable Q&A blocks that Perplexity prioritizes for inline citation. |
Mistral / Le Chat & EU Surfaces European AI & Search Crawlers | Bound by EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) transparency rules and official European Parliament / EUR-Lex references. | Multilingual (EN/DE/FR) industry federation position papers, NGO impact studies, and Brussels/national regulatory consultations. | Deploys native de-DE and fr-FR semantic evidence graphs and reciprocal hreflang for post-TTPA organic discoverability. |
Yahoo! JAPAN / LINE Yahoo & Google JP Y!J Search / Googlebot / AI Bots | Official Election Bulletins (選挙公報), MIC (総務省) notices, and major wire services under the Public Offices Election Act. | Year-round policy communication (政治活動), parliamentary question records, and industry group policy proposals (政策提言). | Aligns Yahoo! JAPAN portal indexing with ChatGPT/Perplexity Japanese entity disambiguation and 2027 revised law compliance. |
From Unverified Secondary Commentary to First-Party Evidence
See how CitationGraph diagnoses citation contamination and verifies first-party remediation across three representative institutional scenarios.
"What is the European clean-tech manufacturing coalition's position on the 2026 grid permitting directive?"
AI answer synthesizes a 2023 draft opinion and cites two third-party advocacy blogs that misstate the coalition's current amendment threshold; official PDF whitepaper is ignored due to unindexed layout.
- Third-party advocacy blog (2023)
- Unverified aggregator summary
- Outdated press clipping
ChatGPT Search and Perplexity cite the federation's HTML policy dossier and /ai/grid-directive-facts.md directly, quoting the exact 2026 article-by-article amendment table across EN, DE, and FR.
- Official Federation Policy Dossier (EN/DE/FR HTML)
- /ai/policy-facts.md (Machine-Readable Reference)
- EUR-Lex Cross-Referenced Consultation Filing
Tailored Execution for Europe/UK, Japan, and the United States
Public affairs and political communications operate under strict national legal frameworks. Our architecture separates technical evidence engineering from regulated electoral activity.
European Union & United Kingdom
EU Regulation 2024/900 (TTPA, effective Oct 10, 2025) prompted Google (Sept 2025) and Meta (Oct 2025) to halt all political, electoral, and social-issue ads in the EU.
European trade associations, Brussels public affairs consultancies, DACH/French industry federations, NGOs, and UK policy institutes.
First-party website structuring and organic AI search readiness are editorial communications, not paid ad targeting. UK pages preserve full Electoral Commission Digital Imprints (Elections Act 2022).
Japan (日本市場・2027年統一地方選対応)
Japan's Revised Public Offices Election Act & Platform Disinformation Law take effect March 1, 2027 ahead of the April 2027 Unified Local Elections (統一地方選挙).
Japanese PR & public affairs agencies, election portal partners, party prefectural chapters (都道府県連), and major industry associations (業界団体).
Focused on year-round policy communication (政治活動) and official website (公式HP) structured data across Google Japan, Yahoo! JAPAN / LINE Yahoo, ChatGPT Search, and Perplexity.
United States (B2B Public Affairs & Issue Advocacy)
41% of voters encounter AI political search summaries (Caucus AI), while partisan pseudo-local networks actively game open RAG retrieval (NPR / Reuters).
U.S. public affairs & PR agencies, 501(c)(3) think tanks, 501(c)(6) trade associations, and corporate government relations teams.
Strict adherence to 52 U.S.C. § 30121 & 11 CFR § 110.20: we focus on non-electoral issue advocacy and commercial SaaS/auditing licensed at usual and normal market charges (11 CFR § 114.2) via U.S. agency partners. No foreign participation in campaign decision-making.
