Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about your SMB's visibility in AI answer engines.

What is AI visibility (GEO)?

AI visibility, or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), is the optimisation of your presence for engines that generate a single answer — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode — instead of a list of links. The goal is to be the source cited in that answer.

How does the AIPresenceCheck audit work?

You enter your brand, website, market and review volume. The tool computes a score across six recognised signals (citations, mentions, llms.txt, schema.org, reviews, source pages), then generates a prioritised checklist and prompts to test in AI engines. Everything runs in your browser.

Is the audit free?

Yes. The instant diagnostic is free and account-free. The EUR 29 express report goes further with detailed signal-by-signal recommendations and a PDF action plan.

What is an llms.txt file?

It is a text file placed at the root of your site that summarises your business and lists the pages to prioritise for AI engines. It plays a role comparable to robots.txt but for generative assistants.

Why does structured data matter?

Schema.org markup (JSON-LD) lets AI engines understand unambiguously who you are, what you sell and where you operate. Well-marked pages are easier to cite correctly.

How long until I see results?

Technical fixes (llms.txt, schema, pages) are picked up as pages get re-indexed, usually within a few weeks. Measure the trend by testing your prompts each month.

Is my data stored?

No. The audit runs entirely in your browser; no brand data is sent to our servers. Only contact-form messages are processed, in line with our privacy policy.

Does the tool replace manual testing?

No. It saves time by prioritising actions, but scores rely on heuristics. Always verify your real prompts in each AI engine.
