The Shift Is Quiet, but It’s Real: AI Is Changing How People Discover Brands
Not long ago, search meant one thing: Google. Optimizing for visibility was about rankings, blue links, and metadata.
But something subtle is happening.
More users—especially younger ones—are bypassing search engines entirely. They’re asking ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. They’re getting synthesized answers, curated lists, and confident recommendations. No SERP. No scrolling.
This isn’t just an interface change. It’s a shift in how discoverability works.
LLMs don’t follow the same logic as Google. They don’t just “rank” content—they rephrase, filter, and choose. They shape narrative. And when your brand isn’t mentioned, or is framed poorly, you don’t just lose visibility—you lose trust before you even enter the funnel.
At Seshes, we call this the new front door to the internet. And we built the LLM Brand Tracker to help brands step through it with clarity.
It analyzes how your brand—and your competitors—appear across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. You’ll see:
- Who gets mentioned
- What sentiment shows up
- Where you rank (or get skipped)
- How your content maps to LLM answers
- And how that aligns with GA4 + GSC data
The goal isn’t to replace search. It’s to bridge the gap between traditional SEO and how AI is already influencing decisions.
The early shift is happening. Headlines confirm it. LLM visibility is the new signal to watch.
