Where to focus next
Next Step's AI visibility (13.3%, last-place average position of 6.0) is entirely borrowed from third-party pages — nextstepsalesmanagement.com earns zero citations across the tracked responses.
Priority is onsite content on nextstepsalesmanagement.com, built in the formats the models actually retrieve: dedicated service and solution pages (a senior-living sales training page, and an AI practice-studio product page), plus how-to guides and listicles on occupancy, objection handling, CRM/forecasting, and counselor onboarding.
Aim this content at the head category terms where Next Step currently scores 0% visibility: "best sales training programs," "best AI role-play platforms," and "sales coaching software."
Channels: skip Reddit and LinkedIn (absent from citations). Reinforce YouTube, which already works — the Next Step workshop video is being cited. Pursue Argentum's supplier directory and Senior Housing News as earned-authority citation paths.
Caveat: this is a single-day snapshot (2026-06-30, the only non-empty day). Treat figures as provisional until more collection days accumulate.
