impact.com, a commerce partnership marketing platform, and Evertune, a Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and AI marketing company, have announced a partnership to give brands a clear view into how they appear in AI-generated search results and a way to act on those insights.
The partnership showcases AI search visibility metrics within impact.com, along with built-in partnership activation, showing brands how Large Language Models (LLMs) reference them and which creators and publishers most influence those recommendations.
Within Evertune’s platform, customers can seamlessly activate content partnerships through impact.com via Evertune’s newly launched Partner Connect, a marketplace that enables marketers to act on AI visibility insights by distributing content across the sources that influence AI recommendations.

As part of this collaboration, impact.com will also make a strategic investment in Evertune, reinforcing the companies’ shared commitment to shaping the future of AI-powered commerce discovery.
As consumers increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews for shopping guidance, AI-generated answers are competing directly with traditional search.
Adobe reports that traffic to US retail sites driven by generative AI sources surged 4,700% year-over-year as of July 2025, outpacing traditional online shopping growth and highlighting the rapid influence of AI-powered recommendations on consumer behaviour.
Because LLMs heavily rely on trusted, authentic content, such as in-depth reviews, comparisons, tutorials, and expert perspectives, the output of creators and other affiliate commerce publishers has become increasingly more influential in shaping product recommendations.

Through this new partnership, Evertune’s AI Brand Monitoring reports are now integrated directly into impact.com’s platform for select customers.
Additionally, impact.com has created an activation capability, allowing brands to form partnerships with the commerce creators and publishers that are identified by Evertune’s Content Analytics. This connection between AI insight and partnership activation is an industry first.
“This partnership moves performance marketing beyond the click into the realm of insights and authority,” said David A. Yovanno, CEO of impact.com.
“It not only gives brands and publishers clear visibility across the LLM ecosystem, but also provides them with strategic activation capabilities to act on that intelligence. It’s a major step toward helping our customers shape and monetise the next era of commerce search.”

Available to select impact.com customers, brands can finally see:
- AI Brand Score: Measures how likely an AI model is to recommend a brand when the brand isn’t mentioned in the prompt. The score reflects both how often the brand appears in AI answers and where it ranks within those responses, giving companies an easy way to benchmark their visibility against competitors.
- Domain Mentions: Breaks down which publisher and creator domains AI models include as a source most often in a given category. This enables brands to identify the sources that carry the most influence in AI recommendations and prioritise partnerships with the creators and publishers that shape their visibility.
These insights give brands a real-time understanding of how they show up in AI answers and which authentic, community voices, like creators, reviewers, and commerce publishers, are shaping consumer recommendations.
As AI becomes a major channel for product discovery, creator-authored content becomes one of the strongest signals guiding LLM responses.

With AI Search Visibility Reports inside impact.com, brands can see which individual creators or trusted sources are influencing these AI-driven recommendations, and immediately activate partnerships with those creators through the impact.com marketplace.
What used to be an opaque and difficult-to-navigate part of the AI ecosystem is now transparent, actionable, and directly tied to measurable commerce outcomes.
Early customers are able to convert these AI search insights into targeted GEO partnerships, including access to impact.com’s RFP engine and the world’s largest and most diverse premium content marketplace of creators and publishers.
Looking ahead, brands will also be able to access media packages and high-impact placements with the creators and commerce content publishers that most strongly shape LLM responses.
This will include refreshing mentions in high-authority articles or commissioning new content from sources that generative engines consistently cite, giving brands a meaningful way to guide visibility, accuracy, and influence across AI-driven discovery.

The launch also marks impact.com as the first partner to appear in Evertune’s Partner Connect marketplace. Marketers can discover prioritised lists of AI-influential content sources within Evertune and, through the integration, activate affiliate and creator campaigns directly in impact.com.
To measure the effectiveness of these campaigns, they can then track how increased mentions improve visibility in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other LLMs.
“Commerce content’s impact on AI search visibility is significant. In our analysis of the top 10,000 sources cited by AI models, over 40% of content either contains affiliate links or is sponsored,” said Brian Stempeck, CEO of Evertune.
“By partnering with impact.com, we help brands understand their visibility in AI search, discover the publishers that have the biggest influence on AI answers, and activate their affiliate networks, ensuring their products show up when AI recommends what to buy.”
The AI Search Visibility Reports are now available for select brands, and early partners are already using these insights to activate GEO-informed creator and affiliate campaigns through Partner Connect. A broader rollout is planned for early 2026.
