Answer & Generative Engine Optimization (AEO/GEO)

AI Visibility Snapshot

Before committing budget to a full AEO program, most teams just want a straight answer: does AI even know we exist, and what does it say about us when asked? This service runs a fast, low-cost scan of how a brand currently shows up (or doesn't) across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, using a representative sample of buyer questions. It's built as an entry point: cheap and quick enough to say yes to without a sales process, but rigorous enough to surface a real, evidenced answer. Most clients use it as the deciding data point for whether a deeper AEO Audit or full engagement is worth pursuing.

This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan, not a black box

These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.

  1. 1

    Run a representative sample of buyer questions across the major AI engines and record whether, how, and how favorably the brand appears.

  2. 2

    Spot-check the two or three most important questions manually to validate the automated results.

  3. 3

    Walk you through the findings in plain terms (visible, invisible, or misrepresented) with no upsell pressure baked into the read.

  4. 4

    Hand over the snapshot and, if warranted, recommend the specific next step to close the gaps found.
