October 1, 2026 – Adthena, the leader in AI search intelligence, has been named a finalist for Best AI Visibility Strategy in Search at the inaugural Search ‘n Stuff Awards 2026. Winners will be announced at the awards gala on October 3 in Antalya, Türkiye, as part of the Search ‘n Stuff Antalya Conference.
FINALIST – Best AI Visibility Strategy in Search.
Buyers now find brands inside AI answers as often as on the results page, and most marketing teams have little visibility into what happens there. Adthena’s shortlisted entry [one line on what the entry did, e.g. the product or campaign and its result] uses Whole Market View™ data to show brands where they appear across Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT, where Adthena has coverage, and where competitors are getting in ahead of them.
Phillip Thune, CEO, Adthena says: “AIOs have been the single biggest change to Google’s SERP in years, and potentially ever. Google provides no insight into how often they appear, when ads show up in them, which brands are cited, or how they impact clicks on every other part of the SERP. Our AI Overview Dashboard answers all of that. No other software comes close.”
Adthena’s Mery Hayles is also speaking at the conference, sharing early findings from ChatGPT Ads drawn from more than 300,000 prompts indexed daily.
