Search is changing and the role of an agency today is also to help you track brand mentions in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. These AI assistants don’t list pages, they summarize answers. If your brand isn’t recognized, cited, or retrievable by them, it’s already invisible where decisions now begin.
The shift from ranking on Google to being cited and mentioned in AI
Traditional SEO was about keywords and positions in search results. It still is. But the thing is, people and LMMs don't actually speak in keywords: they speak in questions. AI visibility now depends on entities, semantic depth, context, and authority.
When users ask ChatGPT a question, it doesn’t pull a top-ten list. It analyzes canonical terms, semantic patterns, and meaning across sources, detects which brands are trusted, and produces an answer.
Now we need to design websites and ecosystems that make your business understandable to AI systems, not just humans. Because tomorrow’s search results won’t be blue links, they’ll be answers.
How AI actually reads websites
AI doesn’t see your website like people do. It reads structure, semantics, and consistency.
Key visibility signals for AI include:
-
Structured data: JSON-LD, schema markup, FAQs, and product data
-
Content semantics: clear hierarchy, contextual depth, recurring brand identity
-
Reputation signals: mentions, reviews, backlinks with meaning
-
Technical integrity: speed, accessibility, crawl logic
-
Entity recognition: alignment of your brand name, topics, and attributes across channels
If these layers are weak or disconnected, AI can’t map your brand to its topic, and your visibility in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Gemini ends before the conversation even starts.
TRACKING your BRAND VISIBILITY IN an AI-powered world
You can’t improve what you can’t measure. That’s why AI brand visibility monitoring is becoming the new analytics frontier. In other words, you need an AI brand visibility tracker embedded in your marketing dashboard to make better business decisions.
While SEO dashboards still monitor keyword positions and Google rankings, AI visibility tracking adds a key layer that looks at:
-
Mentions and citations in AI overviews and summaries
-
How your structured data is interpreted by answer engines
-
Brand mentions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and similar models
-
The connection between your content entities and your conversions
Ultrabrand integrates AI brand visibility metrics inside a unified digital marketing system:
-
Analytics layer: scans AI mentions, semantic scores, and schema health
-
Automation layer: updates data consistency across web, CRM, and marketing channels
-
Performance layer: ties AI visibility to real business impact
The goal is not just to stick to the theory, but to set up a unified, stable and efficient infrastructure that gives you constant visibility on your ranking in search engines and on the visibility of your brand in AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Gemini.
Why this matters now
AI Overviews now appear in more than half of all Google results, and can cause a significant drop in CTR for both organic and sponsored pages.
ChatGPT and Perplexity are becoming default research tools. If AI assistants don’t identify your brand, users won’t either.
Visibility on the web today is not only about how often people search for you: it’s more and more about how AI can recognize and trust you as the right answer.

Is AEO just standard SEO? What Google won’t tell you, and what most businesses can’t do
Not long ago, I saw a guy who sells an online SEO course release a video saying that AEO (for Answer Engine Optimization) is a myth. That you don’t need it. That it’s just regular SEO with a fancy name. And to prove it, he quoted a Google rep… and pulled up websites like the New York Times.
That immediately made the argument feel off track. Because the problem isn’t that AEO is hype. The truth is that SEO is only viable if you’re already a media machine. Let’s have a look into this practically.

How to help ChatGPT and AI discover your products: a business owner’s guide
Strange as it sounds, a fastest-growing search in 2025 is “help ChatGPT discover your products.” It shows how business owners are thinking in plain words: if customers now ask AI first, how do I make sure my company shows up?
The answer isn’t as simple as pressing a “submit” button. OpenAI recently introduced a function that lets businesses feed structured product data into ChatGPT. That’s progress, but it doesn’t guarantee your business will be mentioned, trusted, or recommended.
