In PR: Dentsu India expands AI search practice to improve brand visibility
By Staff Writer in Marcoms News on Wednesday, 14th October 2026 at 3:52pm
Dentsu India is expanding its Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) practice to help brands improve their visibility and representation across artificial intelligence (AI)-powered search and discovery platforms.
The expansion is part of Dentsu India’s broader investment in AI-led marketing transformation, aimed at helping brands strengthen their relevance in the changing digital landscape.
As consumers increasingly use conversational AI tools and intelligent assistants to research products, compare options and seek recommendations, brands need to understand how they appear in AI-generated responses, the company said.
Dentsu’s expanded practice combines search, content, data, technology and analytics to help businesses assess their visibility, identify gaps and improve how AI systems represent their brands. It will use proprietary tools, including Dentsu Search Intelligence and Dentsu AI Search Suite, alongside technologies and expertise from its partners.

Dentsu Creative’s 2026 global CMO Report, ‘Making it Real’, highlights the challenges marketers face in turning artificial intelligence (AI) investments into business growth, while stressing the importance of human creativity and real-world experiences.
Based on a survey of 1,950 senior marketing decision-makers across 14 markets, the report found that 71% of chief marketing officers (CMOs) said AI had improved speed to market, but 70% had yet to see significant cost savings. About 62% said AI-assisted creativity was still unable to fully capture their brand’s tone and identity, while 74% were considering replacing some of their existing tools.
The report identifies ten key trends, including the need for distinctive brand identities, stronger customer connections, creator-led campaigns and better integration of media, data and technology. It also found that 83% of CMOs considered hearing directly from customers more important in an increasingly automated wor
