Why it matters for readers: If you buy things online, expect recommendations and discovery to come more from AI assistants than from traditional search results.

  • Consumers increasingly turn to AI assistants instead of typing keywords into search engines, altering product discovery patterns.1
  • Marketers must evolve from traditional SEO to approaches labelled AEO and GEO to maintain brand visibility in AI-driven results.1
  • Brands are confronting new issues around visibility, attribution, measurement and control when AI influences recommendations.1
  • A new ecosystem of agencies and startups is forming to track AI visibility, optimise brand presence and enable transactions through AI platforms.1
  • The shift follows decades of change in digital marketing, from banner ads to search and social, with SEO having become a major industry.1
