Adobe’s LLM Optimizer benchmarks brand presence in generative AI results and serves instant recommendations to rank higher than competitors.

Key Takeaways

  • AI-driven brand optimization. Adobe launches LLM Optimizer to help brands adapt to AI interfaces.
  • Actionable recommendations. The tool benchmarks visibility and suggests real-time site improvements.
  • Marketer enablement. Digital marketers gain tools to track, improve and report on AI-era brand visibility.

Unveiled at Cannes Lions on June 16, 2025, Adobe’s LLM Optimizer is an enterprise-grade platform built to safeguard — and amplify — brand visibility inside generative AI search results, chatbots and answer engines. The tool tracks where and how often a company’s content appears across AI-powered interfaces, then recommends on-page and technical tweaks to climb higher in emerging discovery channels.

The need is urgent: Adobe Analytics recorded a 3,500% spike in AI-driven traffic to US retail sites and a 3,200% jump to US travel sites between July 2024 and May 2025.

With consumers letting ChatGPT-style assistants shop, plan and compare for them, traditional SEO alone can’t guarantee exposure. LLM Optimizer aims to fill that gap by giving marketers real-time benchmarks and prescriptive actions to stay front-and-center in generative AI answers.

Who Benefits From Adobe LLM Optimizer?

“With Adobe LLM Optimizer, we are enabling brands to confidently navigate this new landscape, ensuring they stand out and win in the moments that matter,” said Loni Stark, vice president of strategy and product at Adobe Experience Cloud.

Those who stand to benefit the most from LLM Optimizer include:

  • Enterprise SEO & Digital Marketing Teams: Track AI-search rankings, keyword share of voice and structured-data health across chatbots, answer engines and AI overviews.
  • Content Strategists & Web Publishers: Surface topic gaps, optimize schema and ensure articles surface in LLM summaries and generative AI SERPs.
  • Brand Managers, CMOs & Marketing Leaders: Benchmark brand visibility, safeguard reputation and shape AI-first content investments that drive revenue.

AI-Driven Search: What Fragmented Ecosystems Mean for Marketers

Adobe's LLM Optimizer enters a market where AI has already significantly altered marketing operations. Many of today’s consumers use AI tools like ChatGPT to discover and engage with brands, moving away from more traditional avenues like Google Search.

Generative AI tools have allowed teams to create branded content more efficiently while providing a potential $486 billion opportunity for marketers, according to McKinsey. However, this technological shift brings challenges. The digital landscape is fundamentally being reshaped, with AI dominance and increasing fragmentation of digital ecosystems creating uncertainty for brands trying to maintain visibility and connections with consumers.

As consumer behavior shifts toward AI-powered interfaces for brand engagement and purchase guidance, companies face a critical need to monitor and optimize their presence in these new channels.

The dramatic increases in AI-driven traffic to retail and travel sites (3,500% and 3,200% respectively, according to Adobe Analytics) points toward an urgency for brands to adapt their strategies if they want to stay ahead.

"Generative AI interfaces are becoming go-to tools for how customers discover, engage and make purchase decisions, across every stage of their journey."
