Are you winning in AI search? Do this self-assessment.
Summary
AI search is reshaping consumer discovery, but the post says most brands do not know what AI platforms say about them. It presents a four-step assessment: choose one country, define a focused category, identify roughly 100 consumer questions, and test whether the brand appears in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Search Intelligence platforms track queries, mentions, recommendations, citations, and content gaps across search and AI tools. The post recommends answering real queries with dedicated content, earning coverage from accessible independent sources, participating helpfully in online conversations, and monitoring AI answers monthly because they change. Its examples report a 25% reduction in Orange call-center contacts, 50% lower Campari costs, and Aromazon reaching €40 million in annual revenue.
Context
Consumers increasingly ask AI platforms questions about products and brands, but most brands lack visibility into whether they appear in those answers or how they are described. The post frames this as a gap in understanding consumer purchase journeys and search intent.
Approach / What changed
The assessment uses Search Intelligence to select one market and category, identify the questions consumers ask, test brand visibility across major AI platforms, document competitors and citations, and create content or participate in relevant conversations to close visibility gaps. It recommends checking results at least monthly because AI answers change.
Takeaways
Search behavior varies by geography, so the assessment starts with one country before expanding analysis or action.
Questions differ across awareness, consideration, and evaluation stages; mapping all three reveals how consumers investigate, compare, and judge products.
Orange created troubleshooting content from local search questions and reduced call-center contact volume by 25%.
