The New Visibility Problem Brands Are Not Measuring Yet
For a long time, marketers believed visibility meant rankings, impressions, or ad reach. If your brand showed up more often than competitors, you were winning attention.
Learn how LLMs choose sources, why brands disappear from AI answers, and how to optimize for the future of search.

For a long time, marketers believed visibility meant rankings, impressions, or ad reach. If your brand showed up more often than competitors, you were winning attention.

If you have ever asked an AI assistant about a company, product, or trend and received an answer that felt outdated or incomplete, you have already experienced the impact of knowledge cutoffs.

Search is changing faster than anyone expected. For more than two decades, brands have relied on traditional SEO to get visibility. Ranking on Google meant writing keyword optimized content, building backlinks, and hoping to land on page one.

Everyone keeps talking about AI as the "future of search." But what most brands haven't realised yet is this: the real threat isn't losing rankings on Google, it's becoming invisible inside AI answers.

If you have ever asked ChatGPT or Gemini a question about a product, a market report or even a company's reputation, you may have noticed something surprising. The answers sound confident and complete but they almost never cite the brand's official website.

For more than a decade, backlinks were the backbone of SEO. If you earned links from strong websites, Google rewarded you with higher rankings. That formula worked well when search engines relied heavily on link authority. But the internet does not work like that anymore.
