Get found when buyers ask AI for a recommendation
When a prospect asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI for “the best marketing partner for my business,” are you in the answer — or invisible? Our AI Visibility Audit shows you exactly where you stand, who owns the conversation, and the evidence-based steps to get cited more.
What is AI search visibility?
AI search visibility is how often your brand appears as a cited or recommended source inside AI-generated answers — in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Copilot. It is the modern counterpart to ranking on page one of Google. The goal is no longer just position; it is citation. The metric that matters is your share of voice — how often the AI names you versus your competitors when buyers ask category questions.
These are correlations from large 2026 datasets, not guaranteed levers. They tell us where to spend effort — honestly.
Why it matters now
Buyers increasingly skip the blue links and go straight to an AI for a recommendation. If your brand isn’t in the answer, you’re not even in the consideration set — no matter how good your website is. And because each AI engine reads authority differently, winning on Google no longer means winning everywhere. This is a new surface to compete on, and the brands that move first are locking in citations while competitors are still optimizing for 2018.
What the audit includes
- Baseline visibility scan. We run a set of real category questions (“best marketing agency for…”, “alternative to…”) across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini, and measure how often you appear — and how you compare to your top competitors on share of voice.
- Technical accessibility check. We verify your key pages are crawlable, return 200s, and aren’t silently suppressed by a misconfigured snippet or robots directive — the #1 evidence-ranked factor, and the cheapest to break.
- Citation-source analysis. We identify which third-party pages the AIs are actually pulling from when they answer your category questions, so you know exactly where to build presence.
- Brand-mention gap report. A prioritized list of where your competitors are mentioned and cited that you are not — review sites, directories, publications, podcasts — ranked by likely impact.
- Content extractability review. We flag where your existing content can’t be cleanly lifted into an AI answer and show the answer-first rewrites that make it citeable.
- A concrete, prioritized action plan. Not a 40-slide deck — a ranked list of what to do first, with the expected payoff of each, so you can execute or hand it to us.
What makes our approach different
- We do the work the data shows works. The single biggest 2026 factor is brand mentions, not links or markup. Most agencies sell “AEO” that’s just schema tags. We focus on the off-site presence that actually moves citations.
- We don’t sell hype. No
llms.txtmagic files, no “guaranteed ChatGPT rankings,” no press-release blasts. Those don’t work. We tell you what does, with the evidence. - Measured, not vibes. Every engagement is tracked against a baseline share-of-voice number you can see move over time.
- It pairs with everything else. AI visibility compounds with the classic SEO, content, and PR work — we can run it as a standalone audit or fold it into a full program.
How it’s priced
The one-time AI Visibility Audit starts at $1,500–3,000 depending on category breadth and competitor count. Many clients then move to a monthly retainer ($2,500–8,000) that combines the brand-mention/PR program, content engineering, Bing visibility, and ongoing share-of-voice monitoring. We’ll quote the exact scope after a short call.
Who it’s for
Any business whose buyers are starting their search in ChatGPT or Google AI — especially in competitive local and B2B categories where a single recommendation drives the deal. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re showing up when prospects ask an AI about your industry, this tells you the answer in plain numbers.
