Similarweb has announced a comprehensive expansion of its Generative AI intelligence capabilities with the Fall 2025 update, offering new tools that enable businesses to track, benchmark, and enhance their brand performance within AI search platforms and chatbot interactions. As generative AI engines rapidly emerge as primary discovery channels, this update provides companies with detailed insights into how their brands appear and perform in AI-generated responses compared to their competitors. The new tools go beyond simple tracking by enabling organisations to leverage AI analytics and agents to make faster, more data-driven decisions, thus helping them maintain a competitive edge in an evolving digital marketing landscape.
A key highlight of the update is the advancement in Gen AI Brand Visibility. This feature allows brands to estimate traffic driven from leading large language model (LLM) sources such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and others, while benchmarking this against competitor data. The expanded GenAI Brand Visibility suite includes two new reports: Citation Analysis, which identifies dominant content sources and brands referenced in AI-generated answers, and Brand Sentiment, which tracks how brands are portrayed in AI responses over time, revealing sentiment trends and competitive strengths. These capabilities enable businesses to monitor their presence on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), sometimes known as Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), thus supporting enhanced content planning and improved visibility within this swiftly growing channel.
Additionally, Similarweb introduces the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a programming interface that connects users’ preferred AI tools with Similarweb’s Data-as-a-Service (DaaS), delivering contextual digital data to improve AI applications. Sales processes can also be automated through new AI agents within Similarweb Sales Intelligence. Enhancements include AI Prospecting, which converts natural language prompts into curated lead lists, and AI Outreach, which generates customised sales pitches supported by comprehensive insights and visual data about prospective clients.
The update also introduces AI Segments (currently in beta) to power Web Intelligence. By analysing the structural aspects of competitors' websites, this feature allows users to segment traffic by business lines, product categories, and specific products, enabling more refined analysis compared to generic site-wide traffic measurement.
Other notable product improvements leverage AI to provide enhanced insights. The new App Intelligence solution consolidates data from iOS and Android platforms, offering combined views of active users and downloads. It also features AI-driven review analysis that aggregates competitor app reviews at scale, facilitating understanding of user preferences and areas for improvement. Shopper Intelligence has been upgraded to provide detailed sales tracking on Amazon, measuring both units sold and revenue across brands and products, supported by AI-driven consumer journey insights and pricing visibility. A new AI Amazon Keyword Agent can generate up to 50 high-intent keyword clusters from a seed term, linking these insights directly to sales data to fine-tune retail and advertising strategies.
Benjamin Seror, Cofounder and Chief Product Officer at Similarweb, emphasised the importance of quality data in powering AI capabilities, stating, “As digital ecosystems evolve, decision-makers need data-driven clarity they can trust. With this launch, we are deepening the connection between AI and data to help our customers and partners move from insight to action with greater confidence.”
The practical impact of these tools is highlighted by feedback from industry users. Piotr Szpakiewicz, SEO expert and Growth Leader at Displate, praised the GenAI Intelligence tools for providing valuable insights into marketplace dynamics. He noted that the AI Brand Visibility module helps his team understand their traffic share on AI platforms like Gemini and ChatGPT, while giving visibility into user prompts that mention their brand, improving their overall SEO and GEO strategies.
This extensive update reflects Similarweb's commitment to integrating top-tier data and AI-driven analytics to meet the needs of modern marketers, digital leaders, and business decision-makers aiming to optimise their presence in an increasingly AI-influenced digital ecosystem.
