• Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence changes how firms reach customers, but standard marketing data do not record how often users see and notice a firm's name in generated answers. We develop Generative Marketing Mix Modeling (GMMM) to estimate the causal effects of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Generative Engine Marketing (GEM). For GEO, GMMM combines repeated generated answers with question counts, shares of use across generative systems, and notice probabilities. For GEM, it combines records of sponsored placements with notice probabilities. GMMM compares expected business responses under alternative treatment sequences and establishes sufficient conditions for identifying the resulting effects. We investigate the empirical performance of the proposed method using simulated answers to product recommendation in English and Japanese.

  In online advertising, marketing mix modeling (MMM) is employed to predict the gross merchandise volume (GMV) of brand shops. Traditional MMM methods leveraging regression techniques can fail in handling the complexity of marketing. We propose CausalMMM that integrates Granger causality in a variational inference framework to measure the causal relationships between different channels.
