AI shortlists

51% of buyers now start with AI, not Google — and 69% switch vendors based on what it says. Inserviss covers both sides of the citation split, built to your SOC 2 bar.

AI rarely puts this product on the shortlist — and when it does, it cites a two-year-old Reddit thread or a stale capability claim. Buyers are being routed to G2, the incumbents, and old community threads instead.
