In a world where AI search platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity are rapidly reshaping how people discover information, the rules of digital marketing are being rewritten. Enter Peec AI, a German startup that just closed a remarkable €7 million in funding—an impressive feat, considering the company was founded only five months ago and is already experiencing a surge in revenue growth.
The shift is undeniable: 27% of consumers now use AI-driven platforms for at least half of their searches. Traditional search engines are no longer the sole gatekeepers of online discovery. As user behavior pivots, marketing teams must adapt or risk fading into digital obscurity.
Peec AI is building an analytics platform specifically for marketing teams, designed to analyze and improve brand visibility within these emerging AI search channels. Here’s what the platform delivers:
Performance insights: See exactly how your brand is represented in AI search results.
Competitor benchmarking: Understand where you stand in relation to others in your industry.
Mention tracking: Monitor when and where your brand is being referenced by AI engines.
Impact analysis: Identify which sources and mentions are driving the most value.
These capabilities empower teams to develop smarter strategies that boost both traffic and conversions from AI-driven search platforms—a critical edge as Google searches decline and AI search becomes the new default for many consumers.
Peec AI’s co-founder, Marius Meiners, puts it succinctly:
“Companies have to adjust to a world where people are asking ChatGPT and Perplexity which TV to buy or where to go for vacation, while searches on Google are going down. We want to give marketers the tools to win on these new platforms and drive growth for their companies.”
The €7 million round was led by 20VC, with support from Antler, Foreword VC, Identity.VC, Combination VC, and S20. Investors are betting big on the Peec AI team’s technical expertise, vision, and relentless drive—qualities that have already fueled their rapid ascent.
With AI search adoption accelerating globally—Google alone reports 1.5 billion monthly users of its AI search features—brands that fail to optimize for this new channel risk losing visibility and relevance. Peec AI offers a toolkit for success in the AI search era, helping companies stay ahead as the digital landscape evolves.
AI search is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s the present reality. Peec AI’s rapid growth and fresh funding highlight a pivotal moment for marketers: those who embrace AI-powered analytics and optimization will define the next era of brand visibility. Those who don’t may find themselves left behind.
Stay tuned as Peec AI continues to shape the future of how brands are discovered in an AI-driven world.
