FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mercury Technology Solutions Launches Advanced Generative AI Optimization (GAIO) Services, Future-Proofing Brands for the AI Search Revolution
HONG KONG – August 29, 2025 – Mercury Technology Solutions, a leader in integrated business and marketing technology, today announced the official launch of its Mercury LLM-SEO (Generative AI Optimization - GAIO) services. This pioneering offering is designed to address the fundamental shift in how consumers and B2B clients seek information, moving from traditional search engines to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok.
As users increasingly rely on AI for direct answers, Mercury's GAIO service strategically positions brands to become the definitive, trusted source within this new information ecosystem. The service focuses on optimizing a brand's entire digital footprint to be recognized, cited, and recommended by Large Language Models (LLMs), ensuring visibility where the next generation of decisions are being made.
This approach moves beyond traditional SEO, aiming not just for a high ranking, but for something more profound. The core philosophy of the service is to
“Don't just be an option in the answer. Become the source of the answer.”
"The world our clients live in has fundamentally changed. The first 'handshake' with a customer now happens digitally, often through an AI conversation," said CEO at Mercury Technology Solutions. "Our GAIO service is a strategic imperative for any organization focused on building foundational trust with the next generation of customers, establishing definitive authority, and future-proofing their brand in the age of AI. It's about architecting digital authority for a new era."
Unlike standalone offerings, Mercury's GAIO service is a core component of a holistic digital visibility strategy. It complements the company's established SEvO (Search Everywhere Optimization) services to create a resilient and diversified digital footprint across all platforms where customers search. This service integrates seamlessly with Mercury's technology suite, including the Mercury CMS + SEO Automation platform and the ContentFlow AI Suite, to provide a unified solution for content strategy, creation, and optimization.
The Strategic Imperative: Why Generative AI Optimization is Non-Negotiable
The shift to AI-driven search is not a distant trend; it is a present reality backed by explosive growth metrics.
- AI Traffic Converts 4.4x Better: Visitors from AI search are 4.4 times more likely to convert than those from traditional organic search.
- Why it matters: Every AI visitor is worth more than four regular visitors in terms of conversion potential, delivering a significantly higher ROI.
- AI Traffic Growing 165x Faster: The growth rate of AI-driven traffic is eclipsing traditional organic search by a staggering 165x across all industries.
- Why it matters: Early adopters of GAIO will capture the vast majority of this powerful new traffic source, leaving competitors behind.
- AI Search to Overtake Traditional Search by 2027: Industry forecasts predict that traffic from LLMs will completely overtake traditional Google search within two years.
- Why it matters: Companies that fail to optimize for AI now will face majority market invisibility by 2027.
- 800 Million+ Weekly ChatGPT Users: The user base for AI tools is massive and growing exponentially, with ChatGPT alone seeing 8x growth to over 800 million weekly active users between 2023 and 2025.
- Why it matters: Your customers are already using AI to find solutions. The critical question is: are they finding you?
- AI Search is a $100B+ Market: The AI Search market is projected to expand by over 150%, from $43.63 billion in 2025 to $108.88 billion by 2032.
- Why it matters: This represents a massive market expansion and a historic opportunity for strategic positioning.
- AI Referrals Surged 1,300% During Peak Seasons: During the 2024 holiday season, AI search referrals to retail sites saw an explosive 1,300% surge.
- Why it matters: AI is already a dominant force during peak commercial periods. Ignoring it means forfeiting peak revenue.
- Traditional Search CTR Dropping 50%: In search results where Google’s AI Overviews are present, organic click-through rates (CTRs) have declined by as much as 50%.
- Why it matters: Traditional SEO alone is losing its effectiveness. A defensive strategy is not enough; a proactive GAIO strategy is essential.
- AI Referral Traffic Grew 123% in 6 Months: Between September 2024 and February 2025 alone, referral traffic from generative AI platforms rose by 123%.
- Why it matters: The growth is accelerating rapidly. Every month of inaction creates a wider gap between you and your AI-optimized competitors.
- 58% of Consumers Use AI for Purchase Decisions: More than half of all consumers (58%) now use AI tools for product recommendations, up from just 25% in 2023.
- Why it matters: The majority of your buyers are making decisions through AI. If you’re not part of the AI's answer, you’re invisible to the majority of the market.
- High-Intent AI Traffic Drives 20-30% Conversion Rates: Traffic from answer engines like Perplexity is already reporting unprecedented conversion rates of 20-30% on high-intent pages.
- Why it matters: GAIO doesn't just deliver traffic; it delivers high-quality, high-intent leads that are primed to convert.
