Insights on AI discoverability

During yesterday's keynote, one thing became crystal clear: the traditional search engine we've known for three decades is being taken over by AI, piece by piece. Google Search is shifting from an index of blue links to a proactive, agentic ecosystem and today, several new elements were added to it.

A website was always built for people who look and click. Recently, a new and very important user has joined them: the AI agent that performs tasks on behalf of the customer.

Admit it, you've probably asked ChatGPT which solution is best in your market. Your competitor came up. You didn't. The reflex is predictable: create more content, start tracking prompts, get a GEO tool.

Since ChatGPT and other LLMs (Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) have been introduced, a fierce debate has raged between two camps. Both agree that these platforms are emerging as new search engines, but what really matters is how do you get your brand recommended?

Since ChatGPT and other AI tools emerged as search platforms, a whole new industry has emerged: Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO (we prefer to call it AI Search). The promise is tempting. People search differently, no longer via Google but on ChatGPT and similar. So you need to track your “AI visibility”. Optimize your content for LLMs. And pay a hefty monthly subscription for it.
