AI found us before Google did

# Ask HN: We got inbound leads from Gemini before Google indexed our site - what's going on? Two months after launching our site, two companies contacted us saying they found us through Gemini while searching for AI visibility services. At the time: - Site not added to Google Search Console - Google had not indexed a single page - We share a name with an established company in a different industry - classic name collision By every traditional SEO metric, we should have been invisible. On Google, we were. On Gemini, apparently not.
