evidence so far
The pattern in the data is consistent. Most local businesses are not included in the AI-generated recommendations.

Gartner predicts that traditional search volume will decline by 25% by 2026. Semrush’s clickstream data shows that AI-referred visitors convert at several times the rate of organic searches.

From measurement to system
Mr. Crescendo’s argument is narrow. The analytical and engineering capabilities available to Fortune 100 companies should be available to ordinary companies, and should start with measurements, not opinions. Sonar is the vehicle, providing AI visibility that previously relied on guesses or measured quantities. The findings feed into building practices across a diverse range. AI search optimization for small businesses (often referred to as AI SEO or generative engine optimization), customer engagement, reputation automation, in-house knowledge systems, and agent workflows for clients ranging from manufacturers to Main Street.
