OtterlyAI Doubles Down on the US, Becomes Headline Sponsor of BrightonSEO San Diego 2026

The AI Search Optimization platform takes the main headline sponsor slot at the world’s largest search marketing conference, its biggest step yet in a fast-growing North American market that already accounts for nearly half its customers.

OtterlyAI, the AI Search Optimization platform, today announced it is the headline sponsor of BrightonSEO San Diego 2026. The conference runs September 15 and 16 at the San Diego Convention Center and brings together the search and digital marketing community from across the United States and beyond.

North America already makes up 47% of OtterlyAI’s customer base. As US brands race to stay visible inside AI answers, OtterlyAI is meeting them where the GEO conversation is loudest: 47% of customers there (with brands & agenices such as BenQ, Stella Rising and RDA) and now the headline slot at the field’s biggest stage.

As headline sponsor, OtterlyAI will have:

• A thought leadership speaking slot. OtterlyAI CEO Thomas Peham will take the stage to share findings from two years of measuring AI Search. Session details will be announced.
• 20 complimentary tickets for OtterlyAI fans & partners who want to attend in person.
• The OtterlyAI side event. Our team is hosting a side event for the SEO community, so come meet us in person.

“North America is where the GEO conversation is moving fastest, and nearly half of our customers are already there,” said Thomas Peham, CEO and co-founder of OtterlyAI. “As the OGs of GEO, we wanted to show up in a big way. Headline sponsoring BrightonSEO San Diego puts us in the room with the search community that is rethinking how brands stay visible in AI answers.”

OtterlyAI helps brands track and improve how they appear across seven AI search engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and recently also Claude. The platform monitors brand mentions, website citations, and search prompts so teams can measure visibility and recommend actions.
