Dear Friends
The biggest disruption today is the silent collapse of the click.
For years, organisations fought to rank on search engines. Today, they are competing to be remembered by AI. When ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews answer a question, they produce a single narrative - one that determines which companies are trusted, which leaders are recognised, and ultimately, which businesses win.
This week's edition explores one of the defining metrics of this new era: The AI Visibility Index—how AI systems discover, evaluate, and synthesise information about brands, leaders, and enterprises, and why invisibility inside these systems is rapidly becoming a measurable business risk.
Alongside this, our latest research asks an equally uncomfortable question: Has the click already become obsolete? We examine why traditional SEO alone is no longer enough, the academic foundations behind Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), and the strategic framework organisations need to build authority where AI—not search engines—is increasingly making the decisions.
If AI is becoming the world's first point of truth, what happens to the brands it never mentions?
Editorial highlight
The way people discover brands, leaders and businesses has fundamentally changed. AI engines are no longer simply ranking pages; they are deciding which entities to mention, recommend, frame positively and cite as trusted sources.
This article explores the AI Visibility Index, the research behind it, and the practical framework organisations need to build authority across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and other generative AI platforms.

Our Weekly Research
The way people find you has fundamentally changed, and most of your budget is still built for a world that no longer exists. The shift is real, the academic research behind the tactics everyone's suddenly selling, and — the part most GEO content skips — the actual layered framework for building AI visibility rather than just chasing individual tactics.
