AI VISIBILITY FIELD REPORT — PUBLIC EDITION REF NO. LAEO-WEB-001 · DATE:

When someone asks AI who to call, three businesses get named. This report tells you if you’re one of them.

AI assistants answer “who’s the best plumber near me” with two or three names — everyone else is invisible. We scan ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews with real buyer prompts and file a report on who gets named in your city. Then we fix what it finds.

01. Findings

MARKET CONDITIONS — SOURCED

The buyer moved. The question that used to be a Google search is now a question to an assistant, and the assistant answers with names, not links. On file:

F-01 48% of US Google searches now open with an AI-generated answer BrightEdge, 2026
F-02 68% of Google searches end without a single click — the answer is the destination SparkToro, 2026
F-03 +527% year-over-year growth in traffic referred by AI assistants Previsible / Search Engine Land
F-04 4.4× higher conversion rate from AI-referred visitors vs. traditional organic Semrush, 2025

02. Scope of work

INSPECT · CORRECT · RE-INSPECT

How does a business get named by AI? We inspect what the assistants say today, correct the entity and content defects keeping you out of the answer, and re-inspect at 60 days. Every step produces a document you can read.

  1. 01 / INSPECT

    We ask AI what buyers ask

    10–15 real buyer prompts for your category and city, fired across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We log exactly who gets named — you, your competitors, or nobody.

  2. 02 / CORRECT

    We fix what the report lists

    Entity cleanup, JSON-LD structured data, answer-first rewrites of key pages, Google Business Profile, and authority mentions across the sources these models actually cite.

  3. 03 / RE-INSPECT

    We re-scan at 60 days

    A second full report, side by side with the first. Before/after evidence, not promises — nobody can guarantee AI placement; we measure it instead.

We’re enrolling 10 founding businesses at $1,495 (regular $1,995). In exchange: a signed statement and a published before/after re-inspection — good or bad. When these 10 slots fill, the founding rate closes and this section becomes their results.

08. Questions on file

ASKED BY OPERATORS · ANSWERED PLAINLY

Q-01 What is AEO?

AEO — answer engine optimization — is the practice of making a business visible to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, so the business gets named when a buyer asks who to call. It combines entity cleanup, structured data, answer-first content, and authority mentions across the sources AI models cite.

Q-02 Is this just SEO with a new name?

No. SEO optimizes for a ranked list of links; AEO optimizes for a spoken or written answer that names two or three businesses. Traditional rank no longer predicts AI citation — only 17% of AI Overview citations come from top-10 organic results. The disciplines overlap, but the target is different.

Q-03 How long until AI mentions my business?

Typically 30–90 days for measurable movement. AI assistants re-crawl and re-weigh sources on their own schedules, so timing varies by platform and category. That’s why every engagement includes a re-inspection at 60 days — you see the movement, or you see exactly what still stands in the way.

Q-04 Can you guarantee I’ll be recommended?

No — and anyone who guarantees AI placement is lying to you. Nobody controls what ChatGPT or Gemini says. What we control: making your business unambiguous, structured, and cited in the sources these models actually read. We prove movement with before/after reports, not promises.

Q-05 Does this replace my SEO?

No. AEO sits on top of SEO. Good SEO fundamentals — a crawlable site, real reviews, consistent business data — feed AI visibility. If your SEO is solid, AEO makes it legible to AI assistants. If it isn’t, the report will show you that too.
