What it does
Runs a disciplined workflow for becoming visible in AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI features) rather than just classic search rankings.
- Defines the buying context: product, canonical domain, substitutes, one primary outcome, purchase lag and attribution window
- Builds a prompt portfolio split into three cohorts — problem/category discovery, competitor alternatives, branded evaluation — with brand names excluded from acquisition prompts
- Collects a baseline with full provenance (prompt, timestamp, engine/model, locale, cited URLs); failed runs are logged as failures, not brand absences
- Checks content accessibility (robots, canonical, rendering, structured data) and keeps retrieval, indexing, answer inclusion and citation as separate findings
- Maps each diagnosed gap to a candidate action and writes content briefs
- Measures three distinct layers: visibility rates, visits/behavior, real customer outcomes
Who it's for
- Marketers and growth leads at SaaS, e-commerce, service or local businesses
- Solo founders who want a repeatable way to track AI-driven acquisition
- PMs who need an evidence-based diagnosis of why AI answers ignore their product
Examples
- "Build an AEO strategy for our product" → context definition, brand-free acquisition prompt set with discovery paths, baseline plan and measurement window
- "Analyze our AI citations" → classify cited pages as owned vs third-party, diagnose the gap type, rank actions
- "Why doesn't this page show up in AI answers?" → inspect status, robots, canonical and rendered HTML, then report retrieval vs indexing vs citation separately
