The new technology extends the company's long-standing SEO performance tracking model, traditionally based on keyword rankings in search engines, into the rapidly evolving world of generative AI and large language models.
From SEO Rankings to AI Visibility
For years, Search Engine People has helped clients measure search performance using a structured keyword-based visibility model. This approach evaluates how many "must-win" keywords a brand ranks for on the first page of Google, providing a clear percentage-based visibility score.
However, with the rise of AI-driven search experiences, user behaviour has shifted away from traditional keyword queries toward conversational prompts such as "best SEO company in Canada" or "top digital marketing agencies near me."
According to Search Engine People, this shift required a fundamentally different measurement approach.
"Traditional SEO tracking is built around keywords, but AI search doesn't work that way," said the Search Engine People team. "We needed a new system that reflects how people actually interact with AI tools."

Instead of monitoring hundreds or thousands of keywords, the new system focuses on a smaller set of high-value prompts that better reflect how users ask AI systems for recommendations and answers.
These prompts are designed to represent bottom-of-funnel intent, such as service and location-based queries (e.g., "best SEO company in Toronto").
The system then evaluates a brand's presence across multiple AI environments, including:
