The scenario

The rise of AI-powered search and conversational assistants — including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude — is fundamentally changing how consumers discover and evaluate brands. Traditional SEO focused on ranking in blue-link search results, but AI-generated answers synthesize information from multiple sources and may or may not cite specific brands. This emerging field, sometimes called "AI visibility" or "Generative Engine Optimization" (GEO), is becoming a critical concern for digital marketers. Early research suggests that brand mentions in AI responses correlate with factors distinct from traditional SEO signals, including structured data quality, authority signals, and the brand's presence in training data sources.

Canonical roles

Research Analyst
Curiosity, structured. A research analyst takes a fuzzy question from a leader who has thirty minutes between meetings and returns a sharp answer with the evidence underneath it. The output is usually a memo or a deck, but the craft is upstream of either: framing the question, choosing the right comparisons, separating what the data shows from what you wish it showed. You'll get fluent with Excel modeling and learn to use tools like ChatGPT for early literature scans without letting them think for you. Strong analysts develop a sense for when a chart is honest and when it's flattering. This is a great early role if you enjoy the puzzle of turning ambiguity into something a decision-maker can act on.
