Summary
In this on demand session, DAC's Felicia Delvecchio, VP of Media, Vincent DeLuca, Director of SEO, and Gavin Bowick, Lead Web. The practical question is what this changes for SEO, content quality, and AI search visibility.

Finally, The KPIs That Tie AI Citations Directly To Performance
In this on demand session, DAC's Felicia Delvecchio, VP of Media, Vincent DeLuca, Director of SEO, and Gavin Bowick, Lead Web Analytics, introduce a modern, launch ready measurement approach that connects AI signals: citations, brand mentions, and recommendations, directly to media performance and revenue outcomes.

Connecting AI Visibility to Business Outcomes: How to tie AI signals to conversions using incrementality, MMM, and cross channel insights. This connects with to Measure SEO Beyond Clicks when the same signal needs a clearer operating decision.

The point matters because it changes how the topic should be inspected, measured, and connected to the rest of the search system.
A stronger reporting model should separate visibility, citation quality, assisted demand, branded search movement, conversion paths, and revenue impact. None of those signals is perfect alone. Together, they create a more honest view of whether AI search is influencing the funnel or only creating surface level exposure. The same pattern also shows up in Brand Signals Are Rewriting the Authority Stack, where the practical question is how the signal becomes visible.
