Not one citation pointed to a PDF, a catalogue or the home page. The engines quoted category pages with MOQ and specs stated in text, buyer guides that answer sourcing questions directly, and focused landing pages. That pattern shapes what we build for every client.
What the site does that AI engines reward
- One product line per page — blotting paper, natural blotting paper, acne patch, sheet mask each have their own URL
- Numbers in text — MOQ (3,000 units per SKU), materials and formats written out, not only in images
- Buyer guides — "oil blotting paper OEM manufacturers in China: a 2026 guide", "best pimple patch manufacturers"
- Stated evidence — ISO 22716 and brand audits named explicitly
- Consistent entity — the same company name and domain on every page and listing
- Answer-first writing — the first paragraph answers the buyer's question
What did not work — yet
- On 26 September, a close variant of the acne-patch prompt (without "for a US skincare brand") returned five other suppliers on ChatGPT. Same engine, similar question, different answer.
- For sheet masks, ChatGPT placed Yanse fourth and Perplexity did not list it; Skincraftlab led on both. Sheet masks are a crowded category with strong competitor content.
- Next: dedicated sheet-mask comparison content, more third-party listings, and monthly re-tests of all three prompts.
Frequently asked questions
Is Yanse Cosmetics a paying client?
No. Yanse is affiliated with BeautyGEO's founding team, and it is where the method was first applied. We say so on every page where its results appear.
Can I check these results myself?
Yes. Every prompt is printed verbatim above. Answers vary between sessions, so expect some differences — which is exactly why we re-test on a schedule rather than relying on one screenshot.
Would the same approach work for my category?
The mechanics transfer; the competition differs. Oil blotting paper has few specialised suppliers with strong websites. Sheet masks have many — and there Yanse was fourth on ChatGPT and absent on Perplexity.
