AEO / GEO Agency
The brands AI recommends are the brands AI cites.
AI assistants don’t invent sources; they quote web sources. We measure where your brand shows up across Perplexity, OpenAI and Claude, find where named competitors beat you, and earn you the citations that get you recommended.
The content & GEO agency that teams like Softonic and PandaDoc have trusted since 2018, now measuring where brands stand inside AI answers.
Where each engine cites you, and where it doesn't.
Why you can trust the read
Measured directly. Every claim shows its sources.
The content & GEO agency teams already trust
3 engines, measured directly
Perplexity (Sonar), OpenAI and Claude, queried directly through their APIs, not scraped from a dashboard.
Every prompt sampled several times
We sample each prompt repeatedly across all three engines, then read which brands and sources each answer cites.
Claims you can verify
Every finding reads “across the engines we measured” and names the exact source, never a falsifiable “ChatGPT recommends”.
How it works
From “are we even visible?” to a plan, in one report
Three steps, fully automated. No guesswork, no waiting on an analyst.
- 1
Tell us your brand
Brand, website, country, and any competitors you want measured. That’s it.
- 2
We ask the AI engines & read answers
We run the buyer questions that actually decide deals in your category and read which brands and sources each engine cites.
- 3
You get a plan
Where you’re visible, where competitors win, the sources driving it, and the exact programs the data supports.
What is AI visibility?
AI visibility is how often your brand is named and cited inside the answers AI assistants give buyers. Assistants quote web sources — articles, Reddit threads, review sites — so the brands in those cited sources are the brands AI recommends.
Earning that presence is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). It starts with measuring exactly where you stand, per engine, across the questions that matter.
Honest by design
- We query the engines directly and sample: no dashboard scraping, no single-shot guesses.
- Every claim names its source and reads 'across the engines we measured.'
- We surface open territory as an opening to claim first, not as 'you're losing.'
- Your first measurement becomes your baseline if you work with us; we don't reset the clock.
The method
How we measure
- 01
We generate the prompts your buyers actually ask
No taxonomy, no keyword list. For your category we generate decision-stage buyer questions such as 'best X for…', 'X vs Y' and 'alternatives to X', grounded in real buyer language. Your brand name never appears in the prompt, so the engines answer honestly.
- 02
We ask the engines directly, and sample
We query Perplexity, OpenAI and Claude through their APIs, not a dashboard, and sample each prompt several times because AI answers aren't deterministic. That's why we report 'N prompts, M AI responses analyzed,' not 'N prompts checked.'
- 03
We keep only the prompts that separate brands
A quick discovery probe runs every candidate once. We keep the prompts that actually separate winners from losers, plus 'open-territory' prompts where demand exists but no one is cited yet, and drop the flat ones that tell you nothing.
- 04
We read sources and presence, not vibes
For each kept prompt we read which brands are named, in what position, and exactly which sources the engine cited, typed by kind (Reddit, review site, blog, press). Presence is evidence-backed: a 'present' verdict carries the quote that justifies it.
- 05
We score, and we stay honest about confidence
We rank the prompts that matter and attach a confidence read. When our measurement and the consumer apps might diverge (most common outside the US), we say so, soften the language, and hold back priced recommendations until we've calibrated for your market.
- 06
We map the gaps to programs your data supports
Every gap maps to a specific program, recommended only when the source landscape supports it such as Reddit threads to Reddit Authority, or competitor blog content to Content/LLMO. The plan is priced, sequenced, and honest about what it can and can't do.
