Brand Recall in AI

By Dan Kurtz Updated 1 min read

Brand recall in AI is a measure of whether an AI model names your brand when a user asks a relevant question. It’s not about whether you rank, it’s about whether you get mentioned at all.

Traditional SEO tools don’t measure this. New AI-visibility tools (Otterly, HubSpot AI Search Grader, AthenaHQ) probe LLMs at scale to see which brands are named on which queries. It’s becoming the KPI that matters most.
