Question 1

What is AI visibility optimization?

Accepted Answer

AI visibility optimization (also called GEO - Generative Engine Optimization or AEO - Answer Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your business to appear when prospects ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for recommendations. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on Google rankings, AI visibility focuses on how large language models comprehend and recommend businesses in conversational search.

Question 2

How do I know if my business is visible in AI search?

Accepted Answer

Use our free AI Visibility Checker tool to test your business across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. You'll get a score out of 15 showing how often AI recommends your business when prospects search for services in your category and location. Most businesses score 0-3 out of 15, meaning they're invisible to 73-100% of AI searches.

Question 3

What is GEO and AEO?

Accepted Answer

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is optimizing for AI-generated recommendations from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and similar platforms. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is optimizing for answer-focused platforms that provide direct answers instead of link lists. Both are essential for AI search visibility in 2025 as 700 million people now use ChatGPT weekly and 24% of queries are seeking business recommendations.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Why doesn't traditional SEO guarantee AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

Traditional SEO optimizes for Google's algorithm using backlinks, keywords, and page speed. AI visibility requires different optimization: clear service positioning, multi-platform content presence, FAQ-style information, and structured data that LLMs can comprehend. Many businesses with excellent Google rankings have zero AI visibility because they haven't optimized for how LLMs recommend businesses.

Question 6

What is the Content Authority Engine?

Accepted Answer

The Content Authority Engine is our interview-to-content transformation system. Clients record themselves answering strategic questions, and we transform that into multi-platform content optimized for AI visibility: LinkedIn posts, Medium articles, Quora answers, Reddit discussions, and more. This builds authority signals that AI platforms recognize when recommending businesses.
