There’s no clean attribution when a buyer reads about you in ChatGPT, sleeps on it, & signs up 3 days later... What metrics can brands lean into in this new AI era? Here are a few pillars to think about: - Visibility (Do they see me?) - Citation (Do they trust me?) - Sentiment (Do they like me?) More here: foundationinc.co/lab/geo-metrics

🚨 Google is responsible for nearly 3/4ths of all desktop web searches; ChatGPT is smaller than you might think - A new study from @randfish showing how: * Google’s 2025 US market share is closer to ~70% than 90% when platforms beyond traditional search engines are included. * Most AI Search and AI Answers happen on Google: Even if you combine every prompt on ChatGPT, Claude, Deepseek, and the rest and assume every prompt is a search-equivalent, Google dwarfs them. * Amazon, Bing, and YouTube still receive more desktop search activity than ChatGPT, despite the latter’s buzz. If you’re worried about AIO/SEO-for-AI/GIEIO, you should be worried about search visibility in those places, too (if their audiences are relevant to your business). Much more!

Today, I'm excited to announce we raised a $9M seed round to help businesses get leads from AI Search Engines! AI is changing B2B buyer behavior rapidly.
