AI Search Visibility & Citation Audit

Answer engines don't rank blue links—they synthesize answers and cite authoritative sources. Learn if your brand is being recommended, omitted, or replaced by competitors across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity.

The Generative Search Blindspot

Millions of high-intent searchers now ask generative engines for product comparisons, vendor recommendations, and procedural guidance. If AI answers do not mention your brand or cite your competitor's resources instead, you lose qualified pipeline before the user ever visits a search results page.

Audit Scope & Methodology

1. Multi-Engine Prompt Testing

Testing 50–100 curated category, comparative, and problem-intent prompts across ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude/Gemini.

2. Citation Source Analysis

Mapping the exact websites, review directories, Reddit threads, and research reports that AI engines cite when discussing your category.

3. Competitor Visibility Share

Calculating your brand's presence rate vs top 3 competitors across informational, commercial, and transactional query clusters.

4. AEO Content Gap Playbook

Actionable content briefs designed specifically to win AI citations through structured definitions, original data, and entity markup.
