G2, the world’s largest and most trusted software marketplace, has launched new AI‑powered Performance Analytics features designed to help software vendors convert AI search visibility into measurable pipeline growth and revenue outcomes. The enhancements — including AI Insights and Churn Threats — build on G2’s earlier AI‑first solutions such as its AI Visibility Dashboard, offering brands deeper insight into buyer behavior and ways to reduce customer churn.
The move comes amid a wider shift in how buyers research and evaluate software. According to a G2‑referenced survey, 87% of B2B software buyers say AI chatbots are reshaping the research process, with around half now beginning their purchase journeys via AI assistants like ChatGPT rather than traditional search engines. This has made answer engine optimization (AEO) — ensuring a company’s presence in large language model (LLM) responses — a strategic priority for go‑to‑market teams.
The new performance analytics capabilities help revenue and sales teams tie AI search engagement back to actual pipeline activity, increasing both visibility and accountability. G2’s AI Insights connects G2 activity with CRM systems, revealing which opportunities were influenced by interactions on G2 and where buyer engagement occurred before entering the sales pipeline. This enables teams to monitor metrics such as close rate, deal size, and sales cycle length in relation to AI search visibility.
Additionally, the Churn Threats feature alerts customer success teams when existing customers begin researching competitor offerings on G2. These alerts can be integrated directly into account‑based marketing (ABM) or CRM systems, activating targeted retention strategies to address churn before it happens.
G2 also offers Technical Consulting to help customers accelerate pipeline growth by converting intent signals into repeatable plays, automation workflows, and measurable results. Complementary tools like the AI Visibility Dashboard and AI‑Powered Conversational Reviews further help brands amplify their presence in LLM‑driven discovery.
Effect on the Revenue Industry
- Connecting AI Search and Pipeline Metrics
The impact of AI search has brought about both opportunities and challenges for RevOps and sales teams. Before, it was possible to measure search visibility on AI platforms but could not measure it to prove its impact on revenue results. This has been addressed with G2’s AI Insights, which links AI engagement to CRM pipelines, allowing RevOps teams to measure the impact of AI-powered search on actual deals, which is truly important to linked performance outcomes.
This allows revenue teams to answer such questions as: Which touchpoints in the buyer’s journey affect conversion rates? How long it takes deals with AI visibility to close, and the influence of AI search behavior trends on buyer intent.
- Proactive Churn Prediction & Retention
Churn is still an important source of lost revenue. By applying AI insights from G2, early warnings are provided when customers start evaluating competing solutions, allowing customer success and revenue teams to take the initiative and reach out, which significantly improves customer lifetime value.
- Improved AI-Driven Revenue Strategy
These enhancements are indicative of a larger trend: the days of dumb, reactive approaches to revenue generation are coming to an end. G2’s performance analytics enable businesses to react to trends in buyer intent and behavior in real time, divide accounts by how well they respond to AI-driven search results, and build better, data-driven revenue plays.

Larger Business Ramifications
Modernising Go‑To‑Market Approaches
With B2B buyers starting their product searches in search environments involving AI, search engine optimization or website analysis tools are insufficient. G2 AI Insights tools, along with AEO dashboards, assist companies in dealing with the new paradigm of product discoveries where LLMs influence early buyers’ perception and decision-making, making way for the new channel of AI product discoveries.
Improved Alignment Across Revenue Functions
Organisations are able to get more integrated marketing, sales, and customer success operations by combining the following: customer intent data, sales pipeline information, and customer churn data to help drive more cohesive revenue metrics rather than disjointed metrics.
Competitive Advantage in AI-Led Markets
Those who implement AI-driven performance analytics will have an opportunity to target consumers effectively in the most fundamental stages of researching, and respond quickly to consumer behavioral shifts, compared to firms relying merely on conventional methods like search and fixed data points. They could miss fundamental revenue-generating mechanisms from consumers and AI-driven search patterns.
Conclusion
The entry of G2 with AI-infused performance analytics is a major shift in measurement and action based on AI search visibility, as AI engagement is now linked directly with pipeline performance and tools available to prevent AI chalk from occurring. This means businesses can not only create visibility, which was a problem in the marketing process, but can also show and lock revenue value from the AI-enhanced buying process. As AI disrupts the process of buying and discovery, such solutions could become imperative in the GTM process.
