See who AI recommends instead of you. Then close the gap.
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google’s AI Overviews who to choose, a few brands get named and the rest are left out. We show you which competitors are winning, question by question, then close the gaps in AI search, SEO and paid media that decide it.

of brands systematically track how they appear in AI search.
AI assistants build their answers mostly from what other websites say about you, not from your own site. Most brands are not measuring it, and 2027 budgets are being set now. The brands that measure first set the positions everyone else has to win back.
See where you stand todayYour share of the recommendation, against named competitors
We run the questions your buyers actually ask through six AI engines and record, for each answer, whether you were named, named and linked, or left out, and who was named instead. The result is your share of voice: of all the brands AI recommended, the percentage that were you.
A mention puts you on the shortlist; a citation sends the visit. We track both, separately.
Where your business is named
Five customer questions, each asked on four AI assistants. Example data for a plumber.
| Customer question | ChatGPT | Perplexity | Gemini | AI Overviews |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who can fix a burst pipe tonight near me? | Named, position 2 | Named and linked, position 1 | Not named | Named, position 3 |
| Best emergency plumber near me | Named and linked, position 1 | Named, position 2 | Named and linked, position 1 | Not named |
| Plumber open on Sunday near me | Not named | Not named | Named, position 4 | Not named |
| Who installs tankless water heaters near me? | Named, position 3 | Named and linked, position 2 | Not named | Named, position 2 |
| How do I choose a reliable plumber? | Not named | Named and linked, position 1 | Named, position 2 | Not named |
On one client account, share of voice in AI answers rose from 9% to 15% in three weeks, measured on the same fixed question set before and after the work. One account; not a promise of the same result.
Five gaps decide who gets recommended
AI search (AEO and GEO)
Answer-first content, structured data and AI crawler access, so assistants can find, trust and quote you.
Off-site authority
The reviews, directories, press and community mentions AI assistants lean on when they choose who to name.
Search foundations
Technical SEO and site structure, so both Google and AI systems can read every page.
Paid search and social
Google, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns that buy demand while organic visibility builds.
Measurement
Tracking that ties AI referrals, search and paid media to real leads and sales.
Start with a scan. Scale only what works.

Before you ask for the scan
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO (answer engine optimization) makes your content the direct answer to a question. GEO (generative engine optimization) gets your brand named and cited inside AI-generated answers. We do both, and measure them together.
Can anyone guarantee a place in AI answers?
No. AI answers vary between users and over time. We measure on a fixed question set and report what moved.
Do you work with companies in Europe?
Yes. We work with brands and agencies in the UK and EU, and meet in your working hours.
We already have an agency. Can you work alongside them?
Yes. Many engagements are audits or single-gap sprints that hand a plan to your existing team or agency.
