Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about AI visibility. I see more people talking about tracking brand mentions inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc. Some even say this will become a standard marketing KPI. So I decided to test it myself. I tracked prompts like: “Best tools for X” “Affordable software for small teams” “Top alternatives to Y” “What’s better, A or B?” In some cases, brands were mentioned clearly. In other cases, they were completely invisible. But here’s my real question: Does being mentioned in AI answers actually drive leads? Because unlike Google, users don’t always click through. Sometimes they just read the AI answer and move on. So is AI visibility: A branding signal? A trust-building factor? A future SEO replacement? Or just something we’re excited about right now? I’m not against it. I actually think it’s interesting. But I’m trying to separate: Real business impact vs New shiny metric syndrome Has anyone here seen real conversions or demo bookings directly influenced by AI recommendations? Would love honest answers not tool suggestions. submitted by /u/Real-Assist1833
