32. AI Search Visibility in GTM with David Andersen (BrandViz.ai)
The theme of this episode is "AI Search Visibility in Go-to-Market". To discuss all things GEO and winning the recommendation by LLMs is David Andersen from BrandViz.ai SUMMARY Can you rank #1 on Google and still get skipped by ChatGPT? Yes. Former Google engineer David Andersen breaks down how AI search visibility actually works for B2B. 89% of B2B buyers now use generative AI to research purchases (Forrester). But ranking in a search engine and being recommended by an LLM are two different problems with two different playbooks. In this episode of Go-To-Market Playmakers, host Jeremy Balius sits down with David Andersen, co-founder of BrandViz.AI, to unpack generative engine optimisation (GEO) for B2B tech and SaaS. David spent three years at Google building probabilistic models of network failure, using weak signals to predict which parts of the global network were breaking in real time. He now applies the same thinking to a harder problem: working out why AI skips your brand and recommends someone else. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - The three levels of AI visibility: citations, mentions and recommendations, and which one actually carries buying intent - Why AI visibility behaves as one-or-zero, not a gentle slide from position three to position eight - Why ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity all return different answers, and why the same question gives you a different answer tomorrow - Why backlinks matter less for AI search than they do for traditional SEO - The easiest technical fix most B2B websites are still missing - How to build a GEO strategy that survives the next model release instead of chasing hacks - Why "we solve this problem for everyone" is a weak signal that gets you overridden by larger players ABOUT THE GUEST David Andersen is co-founder of BrandViz.AI, a platform that diagnoses AI search visibility and ships the technical fixes and content to your site. Previously a software engineer at Google (2018–2021), where he built geospatial co-failure models for global network infrastructure and unsupervised Bayesian models for real-time failure detection.
