From SEO to AI Share-of-Voice: the new discovery funnel
2024-01-10
What happened
- •Buyers increasingly ask AI assistants for category and vendor recommendations.
- •In many journeys, the “shortlist” now forms inside AI-generated answers, not on search result pages.
- •That shifts the optimization target from “rank” to “be mentioned and cited accurately.”
Why it matters for AI discoverability
- •Traditional SEO rankings may become less predictive of traffic and conversions.
- •Brands need new measurement frameworks for AI visibility.
- •Content strategy must evolve from “rank well” to “be cited accurately.”
- •The competitive landscape is resetting—incumbents have no guaranteed advantage.
