For CMOs, AI visibility is the new top of funnel. As buyers ask AI assistants which vendors to consider, being recommended decides whether you're in the shortlist — before any campaign runs.
Quick answer: AI recommendations now shape demand at the discovery stage, often invisibly. A CMO who can't see their AI Share of Voice is flying blind on a fast-growing channel that competitors may already be winning.

- Why should a CMO care about AI visibility?

- What's the right AI visibility metric for a CMO?
- AI Recommendation Share — your slice of the category's AI recommendations — reads like market share and is easy to report to leadership.
