PAN consolidates its AI visibility research and best practices into the AI Credibility Hub, a dedicated resource for B2B marketers and PR pros. The hub offers data, actionable tips and expert guidance for brands looking to take control of how AI represents them. The agency has also launched its proprietary AIO Audit, a capability that analyzes how a brand appears across multiple large language model platforms. The audit draws on a brand's full digital footprint across paid, earned, shared, and owned media, helping clients understand how AI engines are summarizing them, where gaps and inaccuracies exist, and what actions can close the credibility gap. “No matter how much you hear about brands who have ‘hacked’ AI visibility, the truth is this landscape is still fairly uncharted,” says PAN VP of marketing Lauren Hill. “There isn’t one thing you can do. There are dozens. This audit work and commitment to surveying the field is an extension of that understanding.” PAN’s increasing focus on AI comes as the firm adds several companies in the sector (Ada CX, Qure.ai and TensorWave) to its client roster.
