For years, businesses have focused on ranking #1 on Google.
Today, there's a new question to ask:
Will AI recommend your business?
More people are turning to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity instead of scrolling through pages of search results. They're asking questions like:
"What's the best marketing agency in San Diego?""What's the best CRM for startups?""Which coffee shop has the best ambiance in La Jolla?"
If your business isn't showing up in those conversations, you're missing a growing source of visibility.
This doesn't mean traditional SEO is disappearing. In fact, the fundamentals matter more than ever.
To improve your AI discoverability:
• Create content that genuinely answers your customers' questions.
• Share your expertise instead of repeating what everyone else is saying.
• Keep your website and business information consistent across every platform.
• Build credibility through reviews, case studies, and industry mentions.
• Invest in your brand not just keywords.
AI doesn't recommend businesses because they found a loophole.
It recommends businesses that have built trust.
As marketers, we're no longer optimizing only for search engines we're optimizing for how AI understands, evaluates, and recommends brands.
The businesses that start adapting today will have a significant advantage tomorrow.
What are your thoughts? Have you noticed AI changing the way you search for products and services?
