Assistant influence doesn’t look like last-click SEO. Measure it the way comms teams measure earned visibility: sample answers for inclusion and framing, pair that with crawl/freshness diagnostics, and correlate with demand. Treat dashboards as inputs—not the goal.

The goal of AI brand alignment is to ensure AI models' view of your brand matches reality. Not to game the models, but to give them accurate, specific information so they can represent you fairly when buyers ask the right questions.

Microsoft Copilot (including Microsoft 365 Copilot on the web) grounds answers with live Bing search results before composing a response. Your goal is to make your canonical pages the clearest, fastest, most defensible evidence Bing can fetch and Copilot can quote—then provide obvious next steps for humans who land on those pages.

ChatGPT’s Search mode fetches up-to-date information from the web and includes inline citations to sources. Your goal is to make your reference pages the cleanest, safest evidence ChatGPT can quote: one-intent URLs, definition-first structure, fast HTML, and explicit references—plus clear bridges so humans can act when they land.

OpenAI added Instant Checkout to ChatGPT. U.S. users can now purchase products from Etsy sellers directly. This article explores what this means for both retail and (soon) B2B marketing teams.

AI chatbots are increasingly middle-men between your brand and its customers. To win customers in the AI age, brands must build brand authority with humans and AI models.

AI models reward brands that have clear and accessible information online. The best way to achieve this is is with a "Brand Wiki," a reference manual that AI models can use to quickly find the information they need about your products.

Anthropic just published research proving that advanced AI models can report on their own internal reasoning with roughly 20% accuracy. This capability didn't exist in models released less than a year ago. For businesses trying to understand why ChatGPT isn't recommending their product, this changes everything. You can now ask the model directly—and sometimes get a real answer.

Turns out that they are. Anthropic’s 2025 research shows advanced Claude models can sometimes detect and describe artificial “thoughts” injected into their own activations, providing the first causal evidence of genuine introspection rather than post-hoc storytelling—about a 20% success rate with zero false positives. The effect is strongest for abstract concepts and appears to rely on multiple specialized self-monitoring circuits that emerged through alignment training, not just scale. While this doesn’t prove consciousness, it demonstrates that leading models can access and report on parts of their internal state, with significant implications for interpretability, alignment, and how we evaluate future AI systems.

Last year, over 700 million conversations happened across AI chatbots about purchasing products. Those weren't searches—they were consultations. Something fundamental is shifting in how people make buying decisions, and it looks a lot less like googling and a lot more like asking a trusted friend for advice.

Marketers are watching their website's referrals from AI models like ChatGPT grow. This makes it easy to think of AI models as an emerging channel. Unfortunately, this view of AI blinds marketing teams from the full impact of AI on their funnel. AI is much closer to a new audience for brands rather than a new channel.

When Google started losing share to ChatGPT, the first instinct was obvious: let's do SEO for ChatGPT. Track your "rank" on prompts, optimize for long-tail queries, measure your share of mentions. This is the horseless carriage stage—applying an old paradigm to a new technology. It's not wrong. It's incomplete.

A Chrome extension marketed for privacy and security has been secretly harvesting AI conversations and selling them to data brokers. The extension, Urban VPN Proxy, has over 6 million users and carries Google's "Featured" badge—meaning it passed manual review and met what Google describes as "a high standard of user experience and design."
