San Francisco-based startup targets critical visibility gap as 40% of security buyers now research solutions through AI assistants
SAN FRANCISCO – Security buyers are bypassing Google and going straight to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity to research solutions. Most cybersecurity vendors have zero visibility in these AI-generated recommendations. GrackerAI just launched the industry’s first platform designed to fix this problem.
The Problem: Your Best Prospects Can’t Find You
When a CISO asks ChatGPT “What are the best cloud security posture management tools?” or a security architect queries Claude about “EDR solutions for financial services,” most cybersecurity companies don’t appear in the answer. They’re invisible where their buyers are actually searching.
The data is stark:
- 40% of B2B buyers now use AI assistants to research software solutions
- Security professionals show even higher adoption rates when evaluating threat detection, cloud security, and identity management platforms
- Traditional SEO strategies don’t optimize for AI citations
- Companies investing heavily in content marketing still have zero AI search visibility
What GrackerAI Does
The platform combines real-time visibility tracking with automated content optimization designed specifically for cybersecurity GTM teams.
Core Capabilities
1. AI Visibility Monitoring
- Track brand mentions across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews in real-time
- Competitive citation analysis showing exactly where competitors appear and you don’t
- Topic identification revealing which security queries trigger your brand mentions
- Page-level attribution showing which technical content AI engines cite as authoritative
2. Automated Security Content Generation The platform auto-generates cybersecurity-specific content optimized for AI citation:
- Threat intelligence articles
- CVE vulnerability databases
- Security compliance centers
- Technical comparison pages
- Breach analysis reports
- Security framework documentation
All content is automatically structured to match the patterns AI engines favor when selecting sources for security-related queries.
3. Technical Accuracy at Scale GrackerAI integrates with 200+ authoritative cybersecurity data sources including:
- National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
- MITRE CVE Database
- CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities
- ExploitDB
This ensures auto-generated security content maintains the technical accuracy required for cybersecurity audiences while optimizing for AI citation patterns—a critical balance for building trust with security professionals.
Early Results from Cybersecurity Adopters
Aggregate data across cybersecurity clients in the first 60-90 days:
| Metric | Average Improvement |
| AI Visibility Score | +40% |
| AI-Referred Signups | +40-80% |
| Organic Traffic | +100-200% |
| Conversion Rate | 3-5x higher vs traditional traffic |
“Security buyers are fundamentally changing how they research solutions,” said Deepak Gupta, CEO and co-founder of GrackerAI. “They’re asking AI assistants for recommendations instead of Googling vendor websites. If you’re not optimized for AI citation, you’re invisible to your best prospects.”
Why This Matters for Security Vendors
The shift from traditional search to AI-assisted research creates both a threat and an opportunity:
The Threat:
- Traditional SEO-optimized content doesn’t get cited by AI engines
- Competitors optimizing for AI search capture mindshare with security buyers
- Marketing teams can’t measure or improve what they can’t see
The Opportunity:
- Early movers in AI search optimization gain disproportionate visibility
- High-quality sources get cited repeatedly, creating compound benefits
- AI search traffic converts 3-5x higher than traditional organic traffic
Technical Implementation
GrackerAI’s platform uses a three-phase approach:
Phase 1: Visibility Analysis
- Connect your domain and identify current AI search visibility
- Benchmark against competitors in your category
- Map content gaps where competitors are cited and you’re not
Phase 2: Content Generation
- Platform automatically creates technically accurate, AI-optimized content
- Publishes to your existing CMS workflow
- Builds programmatic SEO portals (CVE databases, compliance centers, breach trackers)
Phase 3: Continuous Optimization
- Weekly AI visibility reports
- Citation tracking across all major AI platforms
- Automated content updates based on new threats and vulnerabilities
Industry Context
The launch comes as traditional search faces significant disruption:
- Google search volume predicted to drop 25% by 2026 (Gartner)
- AI Overviews now appearing in 16% of all search results
- ChatGPT has captured 4.33% of search market share
- 60% of searches end without a click to any website
For cybersecurity vendors, this shift is particularly acute. Security buyers—from CISOs to security architects to SOC analysts—are early adopters of AI tools and increasingly rely on AI assistants for solution research.
