AI Search Visibility

Being the source an AI assistant cites, not one it skips.

A growing share of buyers now ask an assistant instead of scrolling a results page, and the assistant answers by summarising a handful of sources. If you are not one of them you are invisible to that buyer even when you rank well in a traditional search. The work is related to SEO but not the same: an assistant needs to be able to retrieve your page, parse a clear claim out of it, and have a reason to trust it enough to name you.

What the work consists of

Baseline: where you stand today
We ask the assistants the questions your buyers ask and record what they say — who gets cited, what claims are made about you, and where you are described inaccurately. You get the raw transcripts, not a score.
Retrievability
Assistants and their crawlers have to be able to fetch your content. That means checking what your robots rules and bot-management actually do to AI crawlers, whether your key content survives without JavaScript, and whether the answer lives in a PDF or behind a form where nothing can read it.
Answer-shaped content
Pages restructured so a specific claim is extractable: a direct answer near the top, self-contained sections that survive being quoted out of context, concrete figures with dates attached, and comparison and pricing information stated plainly rather than implied.
Entity clarity
Making it unambiguous what your company is, what it sells and who it serves — consistent naming, structured data, and the third-party sources assistants lean on when they decide whether a claim is credible.
Correcting the record
When an assistant states something wrong about you, the fix is usually upstream in a source it trusts rather than on your own site. We find the source and pursue the correction.

How we measure it

Agreed before the work starts, so that the definition of success is not written after the results are in.

  • Citation rate: how often you are named across a fixed set of buyer questions, re-run on a schedule.
  • Share of voice against the competitors that get cited instead of you.
  • Accuracy: whether what the assistant says about you is actually true.
  • Referral traffic from assistant surfaces, where the platform passes it.

Engagements

These are starting prices. Scope on this kind of work varies with the size and state of the site, so we quote after looking rather than before.

What we will not tell you

We will not promise a ranking position, a citation rate, or a traffic number. Nobody controls those, and an agency that guarantees one is either misleading you or planning to move the goalposts. What we will commit to is the work itself, the schedule, and reporting you can audit without us in the room.
