Consulting, nearly half of AI users now start their purchase research on stand-alone AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini, up from 25% in 2024. This shift raises the importance of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and AI visibility tracking for brands. Azoma, an Agentic Commerce Optimization platform, has been at the forefront of developing these tools. Key facts include AEO focusing on how a brand shows up in AI-generated answers and AI visibility measuring appearance frequency and context. Azoma's analysis reveals that different agents cite sources differently, with ChatGPT primarily citing earned media (41%), Gemini using retailers (41%) more often, and Alexa for Shopping relying heavily on affiliate links (73%). The company works with major brands like L'Oreal and Unilever to provide prompt-level tracking and optimization workflows across various AI platforms.","keyPoints":["AI users are increasingly turning to stand-alone AI platforms for purchase research","AEO focuses on how a brand appears in AI-generated answers","Azoma provides tools for monitoring and optimizing AI visibility"],"whyItMatters":"Understanding which AI platforms brands appear on and how often can help companies optimize their presence, potentially increasing sales.","category":{"slug":"enterprise","name":"Enterprise & Industry","url":"https://digestai.news/category/enterprise"},"entities":{"companies":["Azoma","L'Oreal","Unilever"],"models":[],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-14T04:02:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-15T10:46:00Z","sourceCount":2,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"finance.yahoo.com","title":"Answer Engine Optimization and AI Visibility: Azoma on What Brands Should Look for in AEO and AI Visibility Tools","url":"https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/answer-engine-optimization-ai-visibility-110200906.html","publishedAt":"2026-09-14T04:02:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true},{"outlet":"desmoinesregister.com","title":"From Yellow Pages to Google to AI: AIMZER Unveils Framework for Business Visibility","url":"https://desmoinesregister.com/press-release/story/124991/from-yellow-pages-to-google-to-ai-aimzer-unveils-framework-for-business-visibility","publishedAt":"2026-09-15T10:46:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Azoma on AI Visibility Tools: Tracking Brand Presence in AI-Driven Answers\", 14 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/azoma-on-ai-visibility-tools-tracking-brand-presence-in-ai-driven-answers","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Azoma on AI Visibility Tools: Tracking Brand Presence in AI-Driven Answers","datePublished":"2026-09-14T04:02:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/azoma-on-ai-visibility-tools-tracking-brand-presence-in-ai-driven-answers"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
