Get your brand recommended inside ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.

What is AI engine marketing (marketing inside chatgpt, perplexity and gemini)?

AI engine marketing is marketing inside AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Overviews, where buyers now ask for recommendations. Sitio Labs gets brands recommended and cited in those answers, prepares product feeds for AI shopping, runs sponsored placements where engines offer them, and tracks share of voice.

Your buyers now ask AI assistants what to buy. We make sure your brand is in those answers: recommended, cited, listed in AI shopping results and, where the engines sell it, advertised in sponsored placements.

It is marketing inside AI assistants rather than with AI tools. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini which product to buy, AI engine marketing works to make your brand part of the answer, organically and, where the engine sells placements, through ads.

GEO (generative engine optimization) is the organic part: getting cited and recommended. AI engine marketing is the whole channel: GEO plus AI shopping feeds, sponsored placements where available and measurement of the traffic AI engines send you.

AI engines are opening ad and sponsored formats, and Google already shows ads in AI Overviews. Availability differs by engine and country, so we plan paid placements where they exist and focus on organic recommendations everywhere else.

We run a fixed set of buyer questions across the major AI assistants every month and track how often your brand is recommended or cited, alongside referral traffic and leads from AI engines in your analytics.

Any business whose buyers research before they buy: D2C brands, software, education, healthcare, real estate, travel and local services. If people ask an assistant about your category, you want to be in the answer.
