Get your brand named in the answer, not just the results.
We audit how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode answer the questions your buyers ask, restructure the pages those engines pull from, earn the third-party citations they trust, and track your share of answers month by month. Scoped after a two-week audit.
What a monthly report shows, per engine
| Prompt (sample) | Named | Sources cited |
|---|---|---|
| best [category] software for mid-size teams | yes · 2nd | 6 · 2 are ours |
| [category] pricing comparison | yes · 1st | 4 · 1 is ours |
| alternatives to [competitor] | not yet | 5 · 0 are ours |
| is [category] worth it for a startup | yes · 3rd | 7 · 3 are ours |
Illustrative. Real reports cover 50 to 200 prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Mode.
Search did not disappear. It moved inside the answer.
A growing share of buying research now happens as a conversation with an assistant rather than a list of ten blue links. The assistant reads a few dozen pages, decides which brands are safe to recommend, and names them. If your brand is not among the pages it reads, you are not in the shortlist, however good your product.
Two things decide whether you are read. First, your own pages have to be quotable: direct answers, comparisons, tables, clear headings, consistent facts about who you are. Second, and larger, the third-party pages the engines trust have to mention you. Over four in ten AI citations go to media, communities and institutions rather than brand sites. In engagements we track, brands we have placed in third-party articles, guest posts and listicles have seen AI citations rise by roughly 70 to 80 percent on the prompts where those articles are cited.
of AI citations go to third-party pages rather than brand-owned ones, and on ChatGPT more than half do (Profound, 11.8 billion citation data points, 2026). AEO and GEO explained, with what actually moves the numbers.
What the audit covers.
Two weeks, one document. The questions your category is asked, what each engine answers today, who it cites, and exactly which pages of yours need to change.
How an engagement runs.
Measurable movement in 30 to 60 days. The engines re-read the web constantly; what they cite changes as soon as the sources do.
Two weeks. The prompt map, citation sources, competitor share and a page-by-page list of what to change.
We rewrite the pages the engines pull from, in the formats they quote: direct answers, comparisons, tables, FAQs with schema, clean headings.
Place you on the third-party pages the engines already cite, through guest posts, digital PR and community presence.
A monthly report per engine: prompts won and lost, share of answers against competitors, sources cited, and the next pages to fix.
Scoped per engagement, after the audit.
AEO work is priced on the size of your prompt map and how much of your site needs restructuring, which we only know after the audit. Three shapes it usually takes.

Questions we hear from marketing teams
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO, answer engine optimization, is about becoming the direct answer: featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes and Google AI Overviews, where a single source is quoted. GEO, generative engine optimization, is about being named and cited inside answers that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude generate from many sources. The levers overlap: clear, quotable structure on your own pages, consistent brand facts across the web, and a strong presence on the third-party pages the engines trust. We run both as one programme.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We build a prompt set for your category, the questions buyers actually ask, and run it against each engine on a fixed schedule. For every prompt we record whether your brand is named, where it ranks in the answer, which sources the engine cited, and which competitors appeared. Month zero is the baseline; every later report measures against it.
Can we do this without link building or PR?
You can fix the share you control: your own pages, their structure, and your entity signals. That alone moves some prompts. But over four in ten AI citations go to third-party pages, and to enter that share someone has to put you on pages the engines already cite. That is link building, PR and community work, which is why most AEO clients add them in month two. In our tracked engagements, third-party placements have lifted AI citations by roughly 70 to 80 percent on the prompts where those articles are cited.
How fast will we see movement?
Measurable movement within 30 to 60 days of restructured pages and first placements going live. AI engines re-read the web constantly, so a page that becomes quotable, or a new third-party article that names you, can change answers within weeks. Share of answers compounds from there because every placement stays live.
Can I check our visibility before the call?
Yes. The free LLM Visibility Checker on this site gives a quick first read on how visible your brand is to AI engines. The audit goes much further: your whole category, every major engine, and a page-by-page action list.
