Awin Expands Discovery Intelligence with AI Visibility
Awin announced on 1 July 2026 a set of platform enhancements and a new partnership to measure and improve brand visibility inside AI-driven discovery experiences. The global marketing-technology company revealed a collaboration with ScalePost and additional collaborations with Peec.ai and Profound to capture first-party AI citation data and link those signals to conversion metrics. Awin is launching platform features including “AI Visibility” and “Smart Search” to show when and how brands appear in AI applications, help publishers understand their contribution to discovery, and speed publisher partner selection via natural-language search. The move responds to rising “zero-click” AI answers in search and aims to give advertisers clearer, first-party measurement of AI-driven discovery across the customer journey.
SearchInsight.ai Launches AI Search Visibility Tool
SearchInsight.ai announced the launch of an AI search visibility platform designed to give agencies, brands, and in-house marketing teams affordable visibility into how they appear inside AI copilots and search engines. The product tracks prompts and responses across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and Google AI (including Google AI Mode/Overviews), captures brand mentions and full responses, analyzes competitor share-of-voice, surfaces fan-out query data, and provides action-oriented recommendations. The company launched a starter plan at $59/month (100 tracked prompts, 3 AI engines, 2 seats) with a 14-day free trial and positions the product for smaller teams priced out of enterprise tools. The article cites independent estimates about AI search scale and emphasizes the need for visibility as AI answers become a routine research channel.
Testing Essential as Agentic Commerce Emerges
Circana executives Cara Pratt and Lindsay Pullins tell The Drum that as AI reshapes product discovery and purchasing, brands must rapidly experiment and prepare for an era of 'agentic' commerce where algorithms — and AI agents — influence or make buying decisions. They argue brands need clear product data, accurate taxonomies, trusted reviews and consistent brand signals so AI recommends their products correctly. Success requires combining strong data foundations with speed, precision and continuous feedback loops. The conversation also frames retail media not just as an advertising channel but as a connected ecosystem of retailers, publishers, brands and AI platforms sharing richer signals.
