Viral Nation has launched AI Discovery, a social-first Generative Engine Optimization offering for modern brand visibility. The new solution helps brands influence AI-driven consumer discovery. Users rely on AI platforms to discover brands, compare providers and analyze available options. Marketers need to cope with the increasing difficulty of discovery since it is becoming fragmented and question-driven. AI platforms are not just showing traditional search results. Instead, they are answering questions, summarizing, comparing, and recommending brands.
In this way, an AI answer may help shape a consumer’s shortlist. This means AI may overlook brands by omitting information, misclassifying them, or describing them inaccurately in search results. Viral Nation came up with their product called AI Discovery for this exact reason. As stated in Viral Nation, AI learns not only from websites but also from creator content, community conversations, earned media, & third-party validation. In addition to that, brand authority, executive presence, and cultural relevance may affect these algorithms as well. That is why brands need a different strategy.
Viral Nation Builds a Broader AI Discovery Strategy
The elements of Viral Nation include optimization, content strategy, creator ecosystems, and community. In addition, authority building, social intelligence, and measurement are incorporated into Viral Nation as well. Five integrated modules comprise this solution, each of which covers different phases of discovery driven by AI. Firstly, Diagnosis creates visibility of AI through prompt mapping and benchmarking.
Second, Foundation emphasizes the elements of technical optimization, entities, and answerable content. Next, Signal improves the approaches towards creators, communities, earned media, and culture. Measurement tracks prompt visibility, share of voice mentions, AI referral traffic, and pipeline effectiveness to evaluate overall performance. The final step will be the combination of ongoing monitoring with general digital and social strategy. Viral Nation begins with the diagnostic step.
“We are helping brands shape how AI understands them,” said Joe Gagliese, Co-Founder of Viral Nation. “AI learns from signals, and those signals are increasingly shaped by content, creators, communities, authority, culture and conversation. For more than a decade, Viral Nation has helped brands influence how they are perceived, discussed, trusted and understood across digital environments. AI Discovery does not represent a departure from our business; it validates it.”
AI Discovery was tested by the company for 18 months before its external release. Its outcome has been 84% prompt visibility and 52% share of voice. In addition, the referral traffic of AI grew by 256% during its testing. An extra $17 million contribution to pipeline has been made by the company. According to Viral Nation, AI Discovery is an enhancement to their existing offerings. Strategy, content, creators, community, authority and business intelligence can create brand comprehension.
