How Meta AI picks brands
Lives inside the apps people already use
Answers appear in WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook rather than a separate destination, which matters a great deal for consumer brands.
Strong consumer reach
Its distribution is enormous, so a recommendation here reaches an audience most assistants do not touch.
Draws on the open web
Meta's crawler collects public pages, so your own site remains a route into its answers.
