- AI-driven discovery shifts visibility from classic search ranking to algorithmic credibility signals and distributed content.

- Blair recounts his wife using chat tools and Grok to find products, driving household purchases via AI recommendations.
- He expects ~30% of inbound leads to come from LLMs within a year for their business.

- Brands will need off‑channel playbooks tailored to each LLM's indexing signals.
