AI search visibility

Your buyers ask AI now. Does it know you exist?

People no longer scroll ten blue links. They ask ChatGPT and Perplexity who to hire, and they trust the answer. If the AI does not name you, you are invisible, no matter how good your old SEO was.

proof you can check yourself

We did it for our own work. Go verify it.

Open Perplexity and ask it the exact question a stuck developer would ask:

supabase error 42501 row level security fix

One of the sources it names in the answer is ours (rescue.ticassociation.com), sitting alongside the official Supabase docs and Stack Overflow. We put it there on purpose, with the exact process we would run for you. This is not a screenshot you have to trust. Ask the question and see for yourself.

AI answers change over time. That is the point: staying named is the work, and it is the work we do.

what this actually is

SEO ranks a page. AEO gets you named in the answer.

Answer Engine Optimization is a different game with different rules. AI engines do not reward the same signals Google's blue links did. They reward answer-first content, structured data they can lift cleanly, agreement about you across the web, and clean access for their crawlers. Most sites were never built for any of that, so the AI simply does not see them.

how we work

Measured, not guessed.

1

Measure where you stand

We test the exact questions your buyers ask across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers, and show you where you are named and where you are absent.

2

Fix what the engines reward

Answer-first content, the structured data they lift from, the citation signals that build trust, and clean crawler access. The concrete things that move an AI answer, done for you.

3

Re-measure and prove it

We run the same questions again and hand you the before and after. You see the movement, not a promise.

questions

Straight answers.

How is this different from SEO?
SEO ranks your page among Google's links. AEO gets your brand named inside the answer an AI gives when someone asks who to use. Different mechanism, different signals, and increasingly where the buyer actually decides.
How fast does it move?
Structural fixes tend to show up in Perplexity within days and in ChatGPT within a few weeks, since ChatGPT leans on Bing's index. Reputation-based signals take longer. We tell you which is which up front.
Can you guarantee a citation?
No honest person can guarantee what an AI will say. What we guarantee is the set of fixes that measurably move it, and a clear before-and-after so you can see the change yourself.
Who is this for?
Founders, SaaS teams, agencies, and service businesses whose buyers have started asking AI for recommendations, and who would rather be the answer than watch a competitor be named.

Be the answer, not the afterthought.
