AI visibility for Bosch Mobility: a proof of value

Follow-up to Aug 13. Two content slides: the why (business impact for BBM), then the proof of value. The motif on the right: an AI answer recommends three positions, Bosch holds position 1.

01Business impact for BBM

To convince on the why

“You do that as well? I was not aware.”

What it costs todayEvery surprised customer is a missed shortlist. Shortlists increasingly form in AI answers, before the first sales conversation takes place.
Reality vs. perceptionBosch Mobility runs the largest software organization in automotive. The models describe a hardware company. That distance is the business case.
What we measureThe share of AI answers on SDV topics that name Bosch as a software player, and who gets named instead. One number per model, language, and market. Perception measured, not assumed.
Evidence from Bosch’s own dataWeb analytics show the shift from organic search to AI referrals in Bosch’s own numbers. Helpful for the internal case; the proof of value runs without it.

Felix on Aug 13: the executable plan is easy, the hard part is convincing people that increased AI appearance has value. This slide is that argument, in the order a P&L owner hears it. The headline is André's own customer quote.

02Proof of value

To select an area of interest

Three weeks, one measurable argument, one decision.

1 · Scope, defined together

SDV and automotive software. Bosch Mobility against a peer set to agree on; our proposal: Continental, ZF, Cariad, Nvidia, Qualcomm. Three model families, English and German, plus an English-India cut.

2 · Deliverables, within three weeks

  • Visibility heatmap per model, language, and question context
  • Maturity audit against the GEO tactics framework
  • Traffic-shift analysis from Bosch web analytics
  • Top 5 measures, each with an owner
  • A management readout for the P&L level

First numbers within days; the measurement infrastructure exists.

3 · Decision, one gate

Go or no-go on roadmap and iterative execution. The readout stands on its own either way. Contracted with gainn.studio GmbH, sized to stay below purchasing thresholds.

Peer set and geographic cut are deliberately open, that is Thursday's discussion. No prices in the document; effort is discussed in person. Web analytics access is requested as Bosch contribution but never a blocker.

03After the gate

What a go means

The project runs the same loop, at scale.

Phase 1 · Baseline

Largely delivered by the proof of value: channels, thought leaders, and content mapped; visibility and maturity measured across models, languages, and markets.

Phase 2 · Measures and roadmap

From the measurements we derive concrete measures, prioritized by impact and effort. The result is a roadmap across owned and earned channels, with the Bosch owners on board, communications and marketing included.

↻ in iterations

Phase 3 · Execution and re-measurement

Continuous work in iterations: implement measures, re-measure against the baseline, refine. The change in visibility becomes reportable, iteration by iteration.

Bosch knows this phase model from the August meeting; this slide shows where the proof of value sits in it. Sizing of the iterations is settled after the baseline, not in this document.

Let’s talk.
