You can check your Google ranking any time: just search and see where you appear. But can you check whether ChatGPT is recommending your business? Whether Perplexity mentions you? Whether Google AI Overviews cite your website?
Most business owners have no idea how they appear (or whether they appear at all) in AI-generated answers. That is a problem, because AI search is growing fast and your competitors may already be showing up where you are not.
I test the specific prompts your potential customers might use ("best [your service] in [your area]," "who do you recommend for [your service] near me") and document whether your business is mentioned, how it is described, and who else gets recommended.
Perplexity provides sourced answers with citations. I check whether your business or website appears as a cited source for relevant queries.
When Google generates AI answers for searches related to your business, I track whether your website is one of the sources cited.
I test whether Google's Gemini assistant mentions your business for relevant local queries, and document the prompts and citations just like every other platform.
Google AI Overviews appear on 30% of searches. If your business is invisible on these platforms, you are losing customers to competitors who are visible.
AI search is not the future. It is happening right now. Google AI Overviews appear on 30% of searches. ChatGPT has hundreds of millions of users. Perplexity is growing rapidly.
The first step is knowing where you stand. I offer a free AI visibility report that shows you exactly how your business appears across AI platforms right now.
I run the same checks for your top competitors. This reveals who is winning the AI recommendation battle and why.
The data is structured so you can see, at a glance, which platforms you appear on, which platforms your competitors appear on, and the specific prompts where the gap is widest.
From there, the work is to close the gap. That is where the rest of my services come in: Generative Engine Optimisation, Answer Engine Optimisation, and Schema Markup are the levers I pull to make your business the one AI recommends.

That is actually useful information. I analyse why the competitor is being recommended (what signals they have that you do not) and build a plan to close the gap. Common reasons include stronger reviews, more complete structured data, or better content coverage.
You can run basic checks by asking ChatGPT and Perplexity about your business. But systematic monitoring across multiple platforms, with competitive comparison and actionable recommendations, is where the real value is.
I run visibility checks weekly for active clients and provide monthly reports showing trends and changes. AI recommendations can shift, so regular monitoring ensures we catch and respond to changes quickly.
I investigate immediately: checking for content changes, new competitors, or AI system updates. Then I adjust the strategy to restore and improve visibility. Quick response is important because AI systems update frequently.
