Techopedia Explains Discoverability

Discoverability uses social media, search engine optimization and other passive messaging tools to ensure that potential customers can find services when they need them as well as interact with customers to help provide what they need. This differs from traditional advertising, which aims to interrupt and distract people with ads. Discoverability is more like a conversation in which the potential customer is a participant.
