Your next customer might ask ChatGPT instead of Google.
Will it recommend you?

People don't just Google things anymore. They ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. These tools don't return ten blue links — they recommend one or two businesses. If your site isn't optimized for AI, you're invisible to a growing share of your customers.

AI Citability

The new top of the funnel.

AI Citability measures whether large language models can actually find, read, and recommend your business. It's the new gatekeeper: when someone asks “what's the best [your category] in [your city]?”, the AI either names you or it doesn't. There is no page two. There are no ten blue links. You're either the answer or you're invisible.

5 reasons your site might be invisible to AI

  • Your robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or other AI crawlers
  • Your best content is locked inside PDFs, images, or JavaScript renders
  • You lack structured data (FAQ schema, HowTo, Product, Organization)
  • You have no entity presence on Wikipedia, Wikidata, Crunchbase, or G2
  • Your pages don't directly answer the questions people actually ask
The shift is happening

This isn't a future problem. It's today's problem.

ChatGPT has over 200 million weekly active users. When someone asks it to recommend a product, a service, or a local business, it gives a direct answer — not a list of links. If you're not the answer, your competitor is.

Google itself has rolled out AI Overviews to billions of searches. The traditional organic results are pushed below the fold. The AI answer sits at the top — and it pulls from different signals than the old algorithm. Schema, entities, direct-answer formatting, and crawler access matter more than ever.

Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini are growing fast. Each has its own crawlers, its own retrieval pipeline, and its own ranking logic. Optimizing for one doesn't guarantee visibility in another. But the foundational signals — structured data, entity presence, answer-ready content — work across all of them.

The businesses that act now will own the AI answer box for their category. The ones that wait will be paying to catch up.

Free audit

Your AI Citability Audit includes.

We check the six dimensions that determine whether AI engines can find, read, and recommend your site.

Crawler access

We check whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and other AI crawlers are allowed or blocked by your robots.txt and meta tags.

Content extractability

Can AI models actually read your pages? We test for content buried in JavaScript, iframes, PDFs, and images that LLMs can't parse.

Structured data

We scan for FAQ, HowTo, Product, Organization, and Person schema — the markup that makes it easy for AI to cite you with confidence.

Entity presence

Do you exist in the knowledge bases LLMs were trained on? We check Wikipedia, Wikidata, Crunchbase, G2, Trustpilot, and more.

Answer readiness

We evaluate whether your content is structured to directly answer questions — definition blocks, numbered steps, comparison tables, and concise summaries.

GEO optimization

Generative Engine Optimization signals: brand-entity associations, citation-worthy claims with sources, and the topical authority signals LLMs use to decide who to recommend.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can I optimize for AI without hurting my Google rankings?

Yes. AI optimization and traditional SEO are complementary. Structured data, clean content architecture, and entity presence improve both. We've never seen a case where AI optimization hurt Google rankings.

Which AI tools does this cover?

Our audit checks optimization for ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews, and Gemini. The principles apply broadly to any LLM-powered tool.

My site ranks well on Google. Do I still need this?

Ranking on Google doesn't mean AI tools can extract your content. They use different signals. We've seen sites ranking #1 on Google with AI Citability scores below 30/100. Check yours to be sure.

What if I want someone to fix my AI visibility for me?

The Total Domination ($15,000) handles implementation end to end — SEO + AI visibility + pSEO + Local, 90-day engagement. Or start with the standalone GEO Report ($149) for a deep AI-visibility audit you can implement yourself.

What's the guarantee?

The 10-Point Promise: implement every fix in your report. If your SEO score doesn't improve by at least 10 points within 60 days, we'll re-diagnose your site free and give you a 30-minute strategy call.
