Why does PR matter more than ever in the age of AI search?

It’s simple.

More and more people are using AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini as their primary search engine.

Why it matters
That shift creates a new challenge—and a new opportunity—for small businesses. Particularly those who actively use PR as a strategy to drive website traffic.

How it works
AI tools rely on what already exists about you online. If there’s not much out there, or if the information is outdated, the AI has very little to go on. That’s where an active PR campaign makes all the difference:

PR generates the one thing AI loves: fresh, consistent content. Every press release, article, announcement, or interview becomes one more signal that your business is active and relevant.

  • PR generates the one thing AI loves: fresh, consistent content. Every press release, article, announcement, or interview becomes one more signal that your business is active and relevant.PR earns mentions from credible, third-party sources—local newspapers, industry blogs, podcasts, and award sites. These are exactly the types of sources AI tools trust most.
  • PR helps you shape the narrative. AI doesn’t invent descriptions out of thin air; it summarizes what it finds. If your messaging is clear and consistent across multiple touchpoints, the AI will echo it.
  • PR delivers something even SEO can’t fully capture: natural language. Quotes, stories, FAQs, and human explanations give AI the conversational context it relies on.
  • Finally, PR builds depth. The more digital touchpoints you create, the more confidently AI can recommend you—because it has real information to work with.

In a world where people increasingly “search” by asking a chatbot, PR isn’t just good for visibility. It’s essential for discoverability.
