The AI search maturity model

 

See how far your AI search program has come, and how to level up.

 

91% of marketers say they have a clear, documented AI search strategy. More than half aren't sure it's any good. So we built a framework teams can actually use: 5 phases, from barely started to best-in-class.

 

Our free assessment app shows you which phase you're in today and where to focus next. Enter your domain, answer a few quick questions while it scans your site, and see where you stand.

Q3 2026 industry lookback 

 

While you were busy prepping for 2027, AI platforms were cracking down on AI slop, ghosting Reddit, making AI agents mainstream, and more.

 

Here’s what mattered:

 

Personal AI agents went mainstream. Grok Bot, Muse, dots, and Instinct’s $10B valuation took agents from demo to download.

 

Google’s spam update made slop artists sweat. Every spam update is another strike against generating your way to visibility.

 

Reddit fell off a cliff in ChatGPT. Treat your citation mix like a portfolio, not one stock.
