Adobe launches Brand Visibility for AI-powered search

Adobe has unveiled Adobe Brand Visibility, a new solution within Adobe CX Enterprise designed to help businesses monitor and strengthen their presence across AI-powered search and discovery platforms. Combining Semrush’s AI visibility intelligence with Adobe’s content optimisation tools, the platform supports Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO).

It provides access to nearly 300 million real-world AI search prompts, alongside audience reach, competitive share-of-voice and owned-channel insights. As a result, brands can track performance across platforms including ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity AI, while using a closed-loop workflow to optimise content and measure business outcomes.

Instagram adds captions for individual carousel slides

Instagram has introduced a new “Multiple Captions on a Carousel” feature, allowing creators to add individual captions to each slide within a carousel post. The update is designed to provide greater storytelling flexibility and deliver context at specific points as users swipe through content. To use the feature, creators can create a carousel post, tap the caption section and enable the “Multiple Captions” toggle. Once activated, each image or video in the carousel can include its own caption. Instagram said the feature aims to help creators present information more effectively and enhance audience engagement. The rollout is expected to begin this week.
