The Gap

Publishing in the Dark

Despite near-perfect brand recognition, Lexer appeared in just 5.6% of unbranded CDP queries in AU and 2.1% in the US — without knowing which topics to target.

The System

MCP → Claude → Notion

AIVO's MCP server surfaces low-visibility prompts in real time. Claude — trained on Lexer's brand voice — drafts to brief. Notion manages the content pipeline from proposed to published.

The Results

45 Days. Measurable Lift.

3–4 blog posts per week. Google AI Overviews visibility up 70% (11.6 → 19.7). Positive gains across 5 of 6 tracked AI engines. AU leading; US improving steadily.

“AIVO doesn't just give us data — it gives us direction. The platform tells us exactly where we're invisible, the AI drafts to that brief, and we publish. It's the fusion of left brain and right brain that makes both work better.”

The Shift

A New Discovery Channel Is Emerging Fast.

Google, social, and search still drive the majority of discovery. But that's changing.

AI platforms are adding a new layer to how customers discover and evaluate products and services — with different mechanics, no established playbook, and aggressive adoption growth. This is not about replacing what's working. It's about not missing what's emerging.

DIFFERENT MECHANICS

Customers ask a question and get a synthesized answer. Brand visibility works entirely differently here. Rankings don't transfer. Presence must be earned differently.

AGGRESSIVE GROWTH

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI are adding users at a pace unlike any prior channel. The channel contribution is small today. Velocity is the signal that matters — not current scale.

EARLY WINDOW

The brands building AI visibility now accumulate an advantage that's hard to displace as the channel matures. First-mover position in AI compounds authority over time.

The question isn't whether to abandon what's working. It's whether your brand shows up when customers use this growing channel before your competitors get there first.

The Shift Is Measurable. The Timing Is Now.

Across retail, travel, and B2B — AI is already reshaping where buyers discover brands.

59%of Americans use Gen AI for shopping
47%of enterprise buyers start with AI
61%decline in organic CTR with AI Overviews
3,500%YoY Gen AI traffic growth (travel)
Key Impact

Brands cited in AI responses earn 35% more organic clicks and 91% more paid clicks than those that aren't. Getting into the answer isn't a brand tactic — it's a commercial imperative.

For Teams Ready to Go Deeper

Start with a free AI Visibility Benchmark

We pull your brand's benchmark from our published industry research. If we already have a relevant study covering your category, you get a competitive comparison and 2–4 headline findings within days. If not, we'll scope a research angle on the call. These are real, statistically-grounded findings from work we've published — not a one-off audit.

If you want the full diagnosis, that's our deep AI Visibility Assessment — scoped to whatever's most material to the team you're representing (full visibility, GEO readiness across brands and markets, AI reputational accuracy, or a custom focus).

No commitment. Typically delivered within 3–5 business days.

How We Work

We're the layer that drives intelligence, strategy, and integration.

AIVO sits between your data and your execution teams — providing the intelligence, the system, and the coordination to make AI visibility work as a channel.

DATA LAYER

Intelligence In

Use the AIVO Platform or your existing AI visibility monitoring tool. Plus GA4, GSC, CRM, and sales data. We work with your current data infrastructure.

Platform-agnostic. Bring your data or use ours.

AIVO LAYER

Strategy & Direction

Identify how buyers actually search in AI. Find why you're winning or losing and what to do first. Competitor benchmarking, source authority mapping, commerce readiness. The AIVO System runs continuously.

The AIVO System runs. Continuously.

INTEGRATION LAYER

Integrate the Ecosystem

We produce the briefs, targets, and specs that direct your existing teams. AIVO coordinates; your existing team and partners execute. We don't replace your SEO agency, PR firm, or content team — we direct the AI integration layer above them.

Not replacing teams. Directing AI integration.

The bottleneck in AI visibility is rarely capability — it's coordination, ownership, and alignment. AIVO solves that layer.

What We Deliver

Not A Dashboard. An Intelligence and Execution System.

Three pillars that work together as a continuous, managed channel practice.

AI VISIBILITY

Know Where You Stand

Monitor & analyze how AI platforms recommend your brand across AI platforms, explain why you're winning or losing, and how to improve.

AI COMMERCE READINESS

Prepare for AI Commerce

AI is starting to mediate purchases directly. We assess whether your data, content, and systems are ready for AI commerce, and build the roadmap to get there.

MEASUREMENT

Prove It Drives Results

We build the measurement framework that connects AI visibility to business outcomes. CFO-ready, honest about the current limits of attribution.

Three pillars. One strategic partner. A complete AI channel practice.

Our Methodology

The AIVO System

A continuous optimization loop — applied by our team or built for yours to operate.

Five stages working together in a continuous loop. Our team applies the AIVO System as an ongoing managed practice, or we build it as an in-house capability your team operates. Each cycle refines the strategy, strengthens the position, and compounds results. This is how AI visibility becomes a managed channel — not a one-time project.

1

Prompt Architecture

We map how your customers actually search in AI — by intent, persona, geography, and platform. This is the strategic foundation. The quality of your prompt architecture determines the quality of everything downstream.

2

Visibility

We track where you appear, how you compare, and what's changing — across every AI platform that matters for your vertical and markets.

3

Intelligence

We explain why. Not dashboards — confidence-scored hypotheses with evidence about why you're winning or losing and where the real leverage points are.

4

Actions

We prioritize what to do: content briefs, citation targets, technical fixes, commerce readiness gaps — ranked by impact and effort. Your team (or ours) executes with clarity.

5

Optimization

We implement, measure, and cycle back. Each rotation compounds results. The AIVO System is an operating system for AI visibility — not a report you read once.

How We're Different

There are good monitoring tools. There are good GEO agencies. AIVO is built to work alongside them — not against them.

We're not the platform that replaces Profound. We're not the agency that replaces your content team. We're the intelligence and coordination layer that makes both more effective — and we're platform-agnostic by design.

Monitoring Tools

Profound, Scrunch, Otterly, AthenaHQ, Evertune, and others

What they do well:

  • Track your brand across AI platforms
  • Surface competitive gaps and citation sources
  • Generate content recommendations and action queues
  • Technical audits, prompt volume data, content workflow automation
  • Getting meaningfully better every quarter

Where the gap is:

  • Can't weigh which gaps actually matter for your revenue model
  • Can't coordinate your SEO agency, PR firm, and content team under one AI strategy
  • Tied to their own platform — if you already use one, AIVO works with that data
GEO / AEO Agencies

Discovered Labs, First Page Sage, Graphite, NoGood, Maximus Labs, and others

What they do well:

  • Hands-on content creation, technical implementation, citation outreach
  • Ongoing optimization at scale
  • Strongest ones build measurement frameworks connecting visibility to revenue
  • Execution specialists — valuable for teams that need content produced at scale

Where the gap is:

  • One more vendor executing their methodology on their timeline
  • Typically don't coordinate with your existing agencies — they replace a function
  • Mostly built for B2B SaaS and general digital marketing
  • Few have vertical depth in hotels, cruise, or ecommerce AI commerce readiness
  • Don't work with your existing monitoring data — they bring their own
AIVO
  • The intelligence and coordination layer above your monitoring data and alongside your execution teams
  • Works with whatever monitoring tool you already use — or ours if you don't have one
  • Analyzes data at the strategic level: which gaps are worth closing, which sources AI trusts in your vertical
  • Produces briefs, targets, and specs that direct your existing teams — SEO, PR, content, dev
  • AIVO coordinates. Your existing partners execute.
  • Don't have those partners? We bring you solutions.

We Are

  • Platform-agnostic (we work with yours)
  • The strategic layer above your monitoring data
  • Coordination for your existing agency stack
  • Vertical experts: hotels, cruise, ecommerce, SaaS — with distinct delivery per category
  • AI commerce readiness + measurement
  • Built to operationalize AI as a channel
  • Managed service OR in-house capability build

We're Not

  • A platform you have to adopt to work with us
  • A dashboard with an action queue
  • Another agency producing content volume
  • A generalist GEO shop that added AI visibility to the pitch deck
  • Monitoring-only or content-only
  • A one-time audit with a PDF at the end
  • One fixed delivery model for everyone

If you have a monitoring tool, AIVO makes it more valuable. If you have a GEO agency, AIVO makes them more effective. If you have neither, AIVO can run the whole thing.

Deep AI Visibility Assessment

Scope flexes to your priority

  • •Standard AI Visibility Assessment — full audit + 90-day roadmap
  • •GEO Readiness Audit — readiness across brands, markets, and topics for AI parsing & indexing (e.g., sustainability, clean ingredient, or safety claims)

  • •Custom scope — shaped around the specific decision the team or department is trying to make
Step 3 · Ongoing Partnership

Managed Retainer or In-House Build

Managed Retainer: AIVO runs the intelligence engine, produces monthly deliverables, and directs execution. You receive strategy without building the capability in-house.

In-House Build: We design and deploy the complete AI visibility system — prompt architecture, content engine, citation playbooks — then train your team to operate it.

Shaped by the Assessment. Continuous compounding results.

Who We Serve

Vertical expertise. Not generalist guesswork.

AI visibility requires different strategy, different measurement, and different language in every vertical. We're purpose-built for four of them.

We work with marketing and growth leaders, but also with the departments that own a specific AI-visibility stake — sustainability, brand safety, corporate communications, corporate finance, investor relations. Engagements scope around the function asking the question, not just the brand-wide mandate.

AI DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

Hotels & Hotel Groups

Booking.com is already live inside ChatGPT. When travelers book through AI, your hotel pays 15–25% commission. Google's protocols enable direct AI booking at 0%. We help hotel groups build AI visibility that drives travelers to your direct channel — and prepare your data for direct AI booking readiness.

Direct AI bookings: 0% commission. OTA-mediated: 15–25%.

AI DISCOVERY & ADVISOR STRATEGY

Cruise Lines

AI can't book cruises yet — but it's already handling the discovery and comparison that used to be advisor territory. When a traveler asks AI "best luxury cruise in the Mediterranean," who makes the shortlist determines who the advisor hears about. We make sure you're on it.

AI shapes the consideration set before the advisor conversation begins.

AI PRODUCT DISCOVERY STRATEGY

E-commerce & DTC

ChatGPT Shopping. Perplexity Shopping. Google AI Shopping. AI is becoming a shopping channel. The brands that optimize their product data, editorial footprint, and review presence for AI discovery get recommended. The brands that don't get skipped for competitors with better AI-readable presence.

59% of Americans now use Gen AI for shopping research. (Omnisend, 2025)

AI CHANNEL STRATEGY

SaaS & B2B

Your buyers build vendor shortlists on AI before they ever contact sales. "Best CRM for small teams," "HubSpot vs Salesforce" — AI synthesizes G2 reviews, product docs, and editorial coverage. If you're not in that answer, you're not in the evaluation.

Buyers shortlist 2–3 vendors through AI before contacting any of them.

Perspectives

How we think about AI's reshaping of brand discovery.

Editorial longform from AIVO on AI's structural impact on publishers, earned media, and brand visibility.

Future of Publishing

The Structural Dependency

AI depends on a content ecosystem it's not paying enough to sustain. The open web is contracting. We map the degradation feedback loop and project where publishing and AI visibility are heading over the next 3–15 years.

“Consumer preference for AI-generated content has dropped from 60% to 26% in three years — even as usage scales to 900M weekly active users.”

20 min readRead perspective
Earned Media

The Earned Media Equation

Earned media is the primary input for AI visibility — but the ecosystem producing it is contracting. New research shows 64% of AI citations come from third-party publishers. We map the landscape and the brand implications.

“Earned placements are 5.3x more likely to be the sole source of AI visibility than a brand's own website.”

18 min readRead perspective
Strategy Framework

The Invisible Publisher

AI platforms are consuming publisher content, stripping the brand, and returning almost nothing. Google search referrals fell 33% in one year. We introduce the Three Surfaces framework for showing up across AI, owned channels, and the physical world.

“AI search visitors convert 23x better than traditional organic — but only 5% of citations overlap across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.”
