Why AI Visibility Matters for SMEs
Ever Googled yourself and felt… invisible? Now imagine AI tools—chatbots, virtual assistants, generative engines—doing the same.
Your brand might be hidden, misrepresented or simply lost in the noise. Small businesses don’t always have armies of marketers. But they do need to be seen.
That’s where open-source AI tools step in. They level the playing field. You get transparency. You get community. You get freedom to tweak and improve.
The Challenge: AI-Driven Brand Tracking
AI platforms are everywhere. From Siri to ChatGPT. They shape how customers find you. Yet, traditional analytics stop at page views. They don’t track:
- How Claude 3 rates your ethics.
- Which AI model praises your innovation.
- When an assistant misnames your product.
Large firms use expensive suites. You? You need a leaner setup. You need open-source AI tools you can trust—and customise.
