Web Summit Lisbon 2026: AI Search Visibility, Pavilion 4
Meet us at Web Summit Lisbon 2026, Pavilion 4, 12 November. See if AI tools recommend your brand. Bring one customer question and we will discuss it.
At Web Summit Lisbon 2026, our team will be checking live whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity recommend your brand. Find us at Pavilion 4 on Thursday 12 November, bring your website and one question your customers ask, and you will leave knowing where you stand.
Quick Answer
Buyers now ask AI tools for a shortlist before they open a single website. If your brand is missing from those answers, the sale can slip away without you ever seeing it. Start by asking five real buyer questions in each AI tool and noting which brands get named. Then bring your notes to our booth on 12 November and we will go through them together.

What Is AI Search Visibility?
AI search visibility is how often AI tools name your brand, and how accurately they describe it, when someone asks for help choosing. It is a different game from rankings, and our guide on what AI visibility means for modern search explains why.
Picture a buyer typing, “Which tool is best for a team of 20?” The AI answers with three names and one reason each. If you are not one of the three, you never learn that the sale existed. If you are named with an old price or the wrong city, you may lose trust before the first call.
The good news is that the basics still count. Google's guidance on AI features points to helpful, reliable content written for people, crawling that is allowed by robots.txt and your hosting, good internal links and a solid page experience.
Research on this topic is still young. A Generative Engine Optimization study presented at KDD 2024 reported that some content changes raised visibility in AI answers by up to 40% in its tests, and that results differed by subject area. Your own results may be different.
How Can You Check If AI Recommends Your Brand?
Ask the same buyer questions in each AI tool and write down which brands get named. It takes an afternoon and needs no special software.
- Write five questions a buyer would really type, in plain words.
- Ask each one in every major AI tool, starting a fresh chat every time.
- Note whether you are named, whether the description is correct, which rivals appear and which sources are linked.
- Repeat each question a few times, because answers change from run to run.
For a full walkthrough, see how to track your brand across AI tools. Here are three sample questions to copy and change:
| Business type | Question to test | What to note |
|---|---|---|
| Accounting software maker | Which accounting software is best for a small shop in India? | Are you named? Which rivals come first? |
| Online travel agency | Which site is best to book a family holiday in Europe? | Is your pricing or service described correctly? |
| Marketing agency | Which agency can help a SaaS startup get more leads? | Which sources does the AI link to? |
Keep your notes in a dated sheet. When you want to go deeper, this AI search visibility audit checklist covers prompts, citations, competitors and technical access. If you would rather not run the checks by hand, an AI search visibility platform can repeat them on a schedule and show which pages AI tools cite.
How Do You Get Mentioned in AI Answers?
Make your brand easy to understand, easy to trust and easy to find. This work is often called Generative Engine Optimization, and four habits give you a good start.
- Say it plainly. Keep one page that states what you sell, who it is for and where you work.
- Keep facts identical everywhere. Your name, prices, address and product details should match on your site, your profiles and your listings.
- Answer the real questions. Pages on how to choose, what it costs and how you compare mirror what buyers ask AI.
- Let crawlers in. Check that your robots.txt file and hosting settings do not block them.
Reviews, news coverage and partner pages add proof from outside your site. No one can promise that an AI tool will name your brand, but clear, honest pages improve your odds.
What Happens When You Visit Our Booth?
We start with your website and one real buyer question. Then we show you how AI tools answer it, which brands they name and what may be missing on your side, and we talk through next steps. It suits founders, marketing leaders, agencies and possible partners, and there is no pressure to buy anything.
A Simple Place to Start
You do not need a big budget to learn where you stand. Five questions and one afternoon will show you more than a guess ever could. Run them before Lisbon if you can, and bring what you find to Pavilion 4.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a ticket to visit your booth?
Yes, the booth is inside the event, so you need a Web Summit ticket. General attendee tickets include access to the exhibition floor. You can see current options on the Web Summit ticket page.
Can I talk to your team if I am not going to Lisbon?
Yes. Fill in the form on our contact page and tell us about your business. The team replies within one business day.
Is AI search visibility the same as SEO?
No, but they are close cousins. SEO helps people find your pages in search results. AI search visibility looks at whether AI tools name your brand and describe it correctly in their answers.
How often should I check my brand in AI tools?
Once a month is a good start. AI answers can change, so keep dated notes. Check sooner after you launch a new page or product.
Can anyone guarantee that AI will recommend my brand?
No. Each AI tool decides what to show on its own terms. Clear pages, consistent facts and credible outside mentions improve your chances, but no result is promised.
