FAQ

How do you track AI visibility?

We track your AI Visibility Score using data from entity metrics, review velocity, structured data strength, NAP consistency, and content authority. We also monitor where your business appears in AI-generated recommendations across platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

When users ask AI assistants questions like “Who’s the best plumber near me?”, the AI provides recommendations. Our system increases your likelihood of being mentioned or ranked in these answers. These recommendations are the new “top of Google,” and they drive real customer demand.

We create AI-informed content, not generic AI-generated content. All content is strategically crafted to build semantic authority, align with LLM search behavior, and reinforce your entity signals. It blends human insight with AI optimization to achieve maximum visibility.

If your AI Visibility Score does not increase and you do not begin appearing in AI-generated results within 45 days, we will work for free until you do. This ensures your investment is fully protected and aligned with measurable outcomes.

Schema (schema markup) is code added to your website that helps Google and AI systems understand your business, services, and FAQs more clearly. It improves how your business is interpreted and increases your chances of appearing in search results and AI-generated answers.

No; you usually don’t need a new website. Most businesses can improve AI visibility by optimizing their current site with better structure, content clarity, schema, and authority signals. Only outdated or poorly structured websites typically require a rebuild.
