AI Chatbots Gain Traction for Brand Visibility and Higher Conversion Rates
Brands are increasingly tracking organic visibility on AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, which have captured 11% of search share in two years, challenging Google's dominance. These platforms offer significantly higher conversion rates (30-35%) compared to traditional SEO (2-4%), making them attractive for marketers. However, this increased demand also leads to higher marketing costs, with spends on AI chatbot discoverability being 50-75% more expensive than on search engines.
