What actually makes AI recommend one brand over another?

Two brands can offer similar products, target the same audience, and have equally strong websites, yet one consistently appears in AI-generated recommendations while the other barely gets mentioned.

We've been exploring how factors beyond a brand's own website, including third-party mentions, reviews, comparisons, and category authority, influence these recommendations.

What if you could run your CRM by having a conversation? 🎙️

I've spent nearly 30 years working in AI, speech recognition, enterprise technology, and Go-to-Market. One thing has always frustrated me: business software forces people to spend too much time managing the software instead of growing their businesses.

That's why I founded Strikezone.

We're building a conversation-first, AI-native CRM and Go-to-Market workspace powered by Frank AI Sales Manager.

Today, our product is live with 424 customer workspaces and approximately 1,800 users.
