Generative engine optimization: how to get cited by AI search
What generative engine optimization really is, what the research shows, and a step-by-step plan to get your pages cited by AI search.
Many buyers now ask AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity which business to choose. Our AI Search Visibility services show you what those assistants say about you, which competitors they name instead, and which sources they rely on. Then we help make your pages easier for them to understand and cite.
The audit is a one-time snapshot with a fix list. The monitor is monthly tracking plus page improvements. Start with the audit if you want evidence and a plan before committing. Start with the monitor if you already know AI answers matter in your market and want steady work on them.
AI assistants build each answer fresh, so the same question can name different businesses on different days. The models and the sources they search also change over time. That is why we capture every answer and check it by hand, and why the monitor compares each month with a baseline. A pattern across many questions tells you far more than any single reply.
Nobody outside the AI companies controls what their assistants say, so we never guarantee mentions or recommendations. What we can do is find the gaps in your website, listings and reviews, improve the pages these tools draw on, and report honestly on what changes. Any improvement usually takes months, not weeks.

ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, on both the audit and the monitor. We test the questions your buyers actually ask before they buy, which you share with us at the start.
Not for the audit, which only needs viewer access to Google Search Console. The monitor also needs editor access to your website, so we can make the page changes you approve.
Tell us what you want to fix and we reply by email with the one-time or monthly service that fits. Monthly services have a 3-month minimum, then run month to month.
