AI Summary
While brands optimize for AI visibility through clear content and schema, a new study reveals a 'framing gap': AI can recognize brands but struggles to recommend them for adjacent category queries. This means even strong brand recognition doesn't guarantee cross-category discovery by AI.

AI's ability to recommend brands is limited by its current understanding of category adjacencies, meaning brands recognized within their core niche may be invisible to AI for broader discovery. Relying solely on internal optimization for AI visibility overlooks the critical need for AI to connect brands across related search intents.
