Answers in plain English.
What is 'AI search visibility' in plain English?
When your customer types a question into ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude or Google AI Overviews, the AI gives a short answer that typically names two or three businesses. AI search visibility is whether your brand is one of those names (and how prominently). It's the new equivalent of being on page 1 of Google, with the advantage that early movers compound the gain over time.
How much can I realistically expect to gain?
Peer-reviewed research from Aggarwal et al. (KDD 2024) reports up to ~40% citation-rate gains in some categories from the structured changes we make, with +5.5% as the reliable best-in-class average across categories. Your actual gain depends on where you start, how competitive your niche is, and how thoroughly the changes get implemented. We report the realistic range, never a single fabricated number.
How long until I see results?
Most clients see measurable changes within 6-8 weeks of the first round of fixes. AI tools refresh their answers as the underlying sources update; Perplexity refreshes fastest, ChatGPT slower, Google AI Overviews varies. We re-test monthly so you can watch the trend, and we re-do anything that hasn't moved.
Is this 'SEO for AI'?
It's a sibling discipline. Classic SEO targets Google's blue links via keywords and backlinks. AI search visibility targets the structured signals AI tools use to decide which businesses to name: clear page structure, sourced statements, named experts, and structured business data. Different methods, different measurement, complementary results.
Is it safe? Will the AI tools penalise me?
Yes, safe. We only use official APIs (the front doors AI companies publish for tools like ours). Every recommendation is the kind of cleanup AI tools actively reward: better page structure, clearer FAQs, more sourced content. No scraping, no tricks, no terms-of-service violations.
Can I do this myself?
Yes. The free tier gives you the same report we'd use as the starting point. If you have time + the confidence to rewrite landing pages, add structured data, and submit Wikidata edits yourself, the report is your roadmap. The Done-for-you tier is for when you'd rather we just ship the fixes.
