October 2026 - Product Release

Channel99 has released major new capabilities across AI Search, marketing performance insights, integrations, and the Channel99 AI experience.

Introducing Channel99 AI Visibility

Channel99 AI Visibility is now available, giving B2B marketers a new way to understand how their brand and products appear throughout the AI search journey.

AI Visibility measures your brand alongside competitors across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, helping you understand where your company is being discovered, how you are positioned, and where opportunities exist to improve.

Visibility Index & Competitive Positioning

The new AI Visibility Overview provides a Visibility Index along with competitive comparisons across the product areas that matter to your business.

Customers can define the product areas they compete in, select competitors, and see how their brand compares across AI-generated buyer answers.

AI Prompt & Answer Analysis

Channel99 runs buyer-oriented prompts across major AI models and evaluates how your brand and competitors appear within the answers.

Prompt reporting provides visibility into:

• Brand discovery and competitive presence
• Head-to-head positioning against competitors
• Brand and competitor sentiment
• The citations and sources influencing AI answers

This gives marketers visibility not only into whether their brand appears, but also into how AI systems are positioning the company during the buyer journey.

AI Visibility Recommendations

AI Visibility goes beyond reporting by identifying opportunities to improve your visibility in AI-generated answers.

Recommendations combine AI answer analysis with evidence from your website, citations, competitive positioning, and product-area performance.

Each recommendation explains the issue, the action to take, and why the change matters.

Recommendations can also include the specific pages where an improvement should be made, making it easier for marketing and content teams to turn insights into action.

Step-by-Step Solutions

Customers can use Suggest Solution on AI Visibility recommendations to generate a detailed implementation plan.

Generated solutions provide practical steps that marketing teams, content teams, or agencies can use to address the identified opportunity.

Solutions are saved with the recommendation so they can be revisited later.

Website & Citation Analysis

Channel99 now crawls customer websites and important pages cited within AI answers as part of the AI Visibility analysis.

This provides additional evidence for recommendations, including page content, site structure, technical signals, and whether existing pages adequately support the topics buyers are asking AI systems about.

The analysis is designed to distinguish between a genuine website opportunity and situations where the available evidence does not support making a content recommendation.

Improved Recommendation Quality

We have also continued improving the recommendation engine as AI Visibility moved toward general availability.

Recent updates provide more actionable recommendations, clearer explanations of why a change matters, improved page-level targeting, better handling of ambiguous product areas, and an Insights Summary highlighting the most important findings from each analysis.

AI Visibility can now produce up to 25 prioritized recommendations when the available evidence supports them.

Improved C99 AI Digest

For customers using a custom Channel99 attribution model, the C99 AI Digest can now incorporate Impact Score, influenced pipeline, and influenced closed-won revenue into its analysis.

This helps the AI Digest evaluate marketing performance using the same attribution methodology configured for your organization.

Improved Channel99 AI & MCP Experience

We continued improving the Channel99 AI experience and MCP Server, making it easier to explore Channel99 data conversationally.

Recent updates improve connection reliability, authentication, AI session handling, and the presentation of data visualizations returned by Channel99 AI.

Charts generated from Channel99 data now more closely match the visual style used throughout the Channel99 application.

Easier Channel99 Tag Setup

Customers who have not yet installed the Channel99 Tag now have a direct link from the setup warning to the correct Company Settings location.

We also improved the installation guidance to make it easier to find the tag and complete the setup process.

Integration Reliability Improvements

We released a number of improvements across Channel99's advertising, CRM, and data integrations.

Recent updates include compatibility and reliability improvements for LinkedIn Ads, Facebook Ads, HubSpot, Salesforce, TikTok Ads, Demandbase, Reddit, Google Ad Manager, and other connected platforms.

These updates include newer supported API versions, improved handling of temporary provider outages and timeouts, and more resilient synchronization workflows.
