Christian will explain how generative engines are transforming the way information is discovered and trusted. He will show why brands are no longer just ranked, but increasingly referenced as authoritative sources by AI systems.

Christian will break down the signals generative engines use to select which brands they cite. He will illustrate how content, credibility, and distribution influence AI visibility. Finally, Christian will outline practical strategies brands can use to become trusted references in generative answers.

Visibility is no longer guaranteed by volume or optimisation alone.
In this session, Dan introduces a practical framework for evaluating whether your brand is genuinely adding value to the search ecosystem and therefore more likely to be surfaced in AI mediated discovery.
He breaks down the five signals that determine long term discoverability across traditional search and generative systems. Attendees will leave with a structured model to benchmark their organisation, cut through optimisation theatre, and align stakeholders around measurable value rather than vanity metrics.
