Why We Built Toren: The Future of AI Visibility

ByTim C

For more than a decade, Right Meow Digital has helped businesses improve their visibility online.

Like many agencies, we built our foundation around search engine optimization, paid advertising, analytics, conversion optimization, and data-driven decision making. These disciplines remain important, and they continue to drive meaningful results for organizations of all sizes.

But over the past two years, something significant began to change.

People started searching differently.

Instead of typing keywords into a search engine and clicking through multiple websites, users increasingly began asking questions directly to AI systems.

Questions like:

  • What is the best CRM for a nonprofit?
  • Which BMW SUV is best for families?
  • What charities help food insecurity?
  • Which cybersecurity companies are most trusted?

The answers no longer come from a list of ten blue links.

Increasingly, they come from AI-generated summaries, recommendations, and citations.

That shift forced us to ask an important question:

How do businesses measure and improve their visibility when traditional rankings are no longer the entire story?

The answer didn’t exist.

So we decided to build it.

The Problem with Traditional SEO Reporting

Traditional SEO tools are designed around rankings, backlinks, impressions, and clicks.

Those metrics still matter.

However, they do not answer questions such as:

  • Does ChatGPT understand what my company does?
  • Is my brand being cited by AI systems?
  • How does Gemini describe my business?
  • What competitors are being referenced instead?
  • How visible is my organization across AI-driven search experiences?

Businesses are entering a new era where visibility extends beyond traditional search results.

We believe organizations need a way to understand and measure that visibility.

The Rise of AI Search

AI search isn’t coming.

It’s already here.

Google AI Overviews continue to expand.

ChatGPT has become a research tool for millions of users.

Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems are increasingly shaping how people discover products, services, organizations, and information.

In many industries, the customer journey now looks something like this:

Question

AI Evaluation

AI Recommendation

Website Visit

Conversion

The challenge is that many businesses have no visibility into what happens during the AI evaluation stage.

That’s the gap we wanted to solve.

Building Toren

Toren was created to help organizations understand how they appear within AI-powered search experiences.

Our vision is simple:

Provide businesses with actionable insights into their AI visibility so they can make better marketing decisions.

Rather than focusing solely on rankings, Toren is designed to help organizations understand:

  • How AI systems interpret their brand
  • How they compare against competitors
  • Which authority signals matter most
  • Where visibility opportunities exist
  • How AI-driven discovery is evolving over time

In many ways, Toren represents the natural evolution of the work we’ve been doing at Right Meow Digital for years.

We’ve always focused on helping organizations become more visible online.

The channels are changing.

The mission remains the same.

What This Means for Businesses

The organizations that thrive in the coming years will not necessarily be the ones producing the most content.

They will be the ones that communicate their expertise, authority, and value with the greatest clarity.

AI systems reward:

  • Clear entities
  • Demonstrated expertise
  • Trustworthy information
  • Structured content
  • Consistent messaging

Businesses that understand these principles will be positioned to earn visibility across both traditional and AI-driven search experiences.

The Future of Search Is Visibility Everywhere

We don’t believe SEO is disappearing.

We don’t believe websites are becoming obsolete.

We do believe that visibility is expanding beyond traditional search engines.

Businesses need a broader understanding of how they are discovered, referenced, and recommended online.

That belief is what led us to build Toren.

At Right Meow Digital, we’ll continue helping organizations improve their digital visibility.

And through Toren, we’re excited to help businesses better understand the rapidly evolving world of AI search.

The future of search isn’t just about rankings.

It’s about understanding how AI sees your business.

And we’re just getting started.
