What Actually Gets Cited

Four things AI systems consistently check

Not a trick, not a hack — the same fundamentals showing up across current AEO research, again and again.

Structured data
Organization, Article, and FAQPage schema tells AI systems plainly who you are — instead of making them guess.
Named authorship
A real name and bio, not "admin." Anonymous content is treated as a trust red flag now, not a neutral default.
Answer-first structure
40–60 word, self-contained answers placed right after each heading — long enough to stand alone, short enough to quote.
Third-party corroboration
Consistent mentions across other credible sources — directories, press, reviews — not just your own site saying so.

Real sources. No invented stats.

I help brands understand where they actually stand with AI search — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews — and what to fix first. Every recommendation is grounded in current, checkable research, not guesswork dressed up as expertise.

This worksheet is the same process I run for clients, simplified so you can do the first pass yourself. If you want the deeper version — competitor benchmarking, a prioritized fix list, a walkthrough of your results — that's what I do next.

Common Questions

Before you get started

Straight answers, not marketing copy.

Free vs. paid?
The worksheet is a free, self-guided version of the same process — you run it yourself in 30–45 minutes. A paid report is the researched, scored version I do for you, with a prioritized fix list specific to your business.
Baseline vs. Advanced?
Both score your visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO with specific findings and a fix list. Advanced adds a full competitor comparison (up to 3), a complete ranked action list instead of just the top fixes, and a 30-minute call to walk through it together.
How long does it take?
Baseline reports are delivered within 3-5 business days. Advanced reports within 5-7 business days, plus scheduling for your strategy call.
Where do the numbers come from?
Named, checkable sources — Pew Research, Ahrefs, Gartner, and similar — never invented statistics. If a claim isn't sourced, it doesn't go in your report.
Do you guarantee results?
No — and I'd be skeptical of anyone who does. AI search visibility depends on factors outside any one report's control. What I can guarantee is a real, specific, sourced picture of where you stand today and what to fix first.
