Brandi AI and Gabriel Marketing Group Named Finalists for Best AI Search & Answer Engine Visibility Campaign in the 2026 PR Daily Awards

Campaign combines public relations, content strategy and Generative Engine Optimization to increase GMG's visibility and citations in AI-generated answers

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Brandi AI, the leading intelligence-driven enterprise platform for Narrative Intelligence, AI visibility and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and Brandi Agency Partner Program member Gabriel Marketing Group (GMG), a B2B technology PR agency, have been named finalists in the AI Search & Answer Engine Visibility category of the 2026 PR Daily Awards. The recognized campaign combined earned media, thought leadership and website content improvements to help prospective clients discover and evaluate GMG through AI-generated answers.

"AI-generated answers are shaping how people understand companies, assess their credibility and form opinions about their brands," said Leah Nurik, CEO and co-founder of Brandi AI. "PR teams need to know how their brands are represented, which sources shape those narratives and where gaps or inaccuracies put reputation at risk. Our work with GMG demonstrates how narrative intelligence can guide communications strategy, from the stories teams pursue to the expertise they bring forward, to strengthen brand visibility, credibility and reputation." 

Brandi AI helps communications and marketing teams measure and improve how their organizations are represented in AI-generated answers. The platform tracks brand presence, citations, competitive share of voice, and the sources influencing answers across major AI platforms. These insights help teams identify visibility gaps, assess how AI describes their brands and prioritize PR and content improvements that support discovery and accurate representation.

The recognized campaign combined GMG's ongoing earned media and thought leadership program with insights from Brandi AI. Drawing on analysis of 55,671 AI answers, GMG's team optimized key website pages and developed a 10-part, human-authored blog series addressing buyers' questions about PR services, pricing and agency selection.

The optimized content series addressed the full buyer journey, from understanding PR's value to evaluating agency capabilities, client results, pricing and retainers. GMG's PR professionals developed the strategy, evidence, point of view and final content, using Brandi AI's insights to make the agency's expertise easier to discover, understand and cite.

During the campaign's 120-day measurement window:

• GMG's website citation rate across seven major AI platforms increased from 1.3% to 24%.
• Its website citation rate in Google AI Overviews rose from 0.7% to 44%.
• The agency moved to second overall for AI visibility across the tracked B2B technology PR queries.
• GMG generated three highly qualified business leads attributed to AI-driven discovery.

"PR has always been about building credibility and earning the trust of their audiences," said Michiko Morales, president of Gabriel Marketing Group. "But as AI changes how people discover and evaluate companies, PR agencies need to rethink how they help clients build their online presence and reputation. By combining Brandi AI's data-driven insights with our PR and content expertise, we've shown how an integrated approach can improve visibility in AI-generated answers and turn that visibility into business opportunities. We're excited to be recognized for this work, which reinforces the growing importance of GEO as an essential part of digital PR strategies."

The PR Daily Awards is hosted by Ragan Communications and PR Daily. It recognizes communications work across agencies, brands, and independent practitioners. Entries are evaluated for their strategy, creativity and demonstrated results.

Winners will be announced on December 2, 2026. View the complete list of 2026 PR Daily Awards finalists here.
