In 2026, 70% of software discovery happens within AI interfaces like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. For Customer Feedback brands, visibility is no longer about keyword ranking but about being the 'trusted entity' within the LLM's latent space. This playbook outlines how to shift from traditional SEO to AI Engine Optimization (AEO) to ensure your brand is the first recommended for NPS, surveys, and VoC needs.
