The platform identifies which AI engines matter most for a given industry and lets users track performance over time to show measurable growth in AI visibility.

Proven ROI positions itself at the intersection of SEO and AI visibility—Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)—to help clients rank and become trusted sources for AI-generated answers.

The company unveiled an AI Competitor Comparison tool that provides real-time, side-by-side analysis across six AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok) to show where brands are more or less recommended.

John Cronin, founder of Proven ROI, says AI is the front door to discovery and being recommended by AI is essential to avoid market invisibility, a point echoed by other executives.

The launch coincides with rising zero-click search behavior, highlighting the importance of being cited by AI systems as users get answers without visiting websites.

The tool is pitched for companies seeking control over their position in AI-driven discovery and to quantify and improve AI-based brand recommendations, moving beyond traditional SEO toward data-driven decisions that boost AI-based recommendations and overall digital presence.

The press release provides Proven ROI’s background and includes contact information for media inquiries.

Users can input their business and a competitor to receive instant insights, track performance over time, and prioritize strategies that improve AI recommendations beyond traditional keyword rankings.

The platform measures AI-driven recommendations rather than traditional SEO metrics, signaling a shift toward AI surface outcomes in consumer discovery.
