Brands Inclining To AI Platforms: Introducing Triple-P Framework

Brands are on high alert as they compete for market share on a variety of AI platforms, each of which presents information differently. Addressing the three pillars of presence, perception, and performance, which may aid marketers in navigating these changing times. This is especially true when AI and search experience their greatest transformation so far.

AI is now actively assessing, framing, and recommending brands before potential customers ever click on a link, going beyond simply getting information. However, AI is no longer a passive search engine, it’s an active evaluator, interpreting intent, forming opinions, and determining which brands deserve attention. In enterprise SEO and B2B contexts, the shift is even more pronounced. AI is effectively writing the request for proposal (RFP), establishing evaluation criteria, and creating shortlists without brands having direct input.

For instance, when a CIO asks an AI about the “best enterprise resource planning solutions,” the AI’s response typically features including a curated shortlist of vendors, evaluation criteria that the AI deems relevant, strengthening and limitation of each solution, and recommendations based on various scenarios. These responses don’t just inform decisions. They frame the entire evaluation process before a vendor’s content is visited.

However, conversion rates usually stay high, indicating that AI qualifies leads before they get to your website.
