Being visible in AI is the new hype - and for good reason. AI & LLM search has grown substantially year on year - whilst organic search still maintains a clear lead over AI search, that doesn’t mean AI visibility should be neglected.

WHY AI VISIBILITY IS IMPORTANT?

Because it’s a growing channel where your potential customers are performing searches at different stages of their purchase journey. Whether they are thinking about a purchase and conducting research via an LLM or AI search, or, whether they are looking to buy and want to know where to buy from - your brand/site/product/service offering should be cited prominently in the LLM output.

Being visible is important because it gives your brand another opportunity to capitalise on traffic, enquiries, conversions and ultimately ROI. For every search you miss out on where competitors are cited is a potential conversion your brand could have had.

AI search volumes are growing as more and more people turn to the likes of chatGPT or Claude to get answers so now is the time for your brand to really focus on increasing visibility.

We help clients to execute the strategy be it improving content, adjusting content for citability, building much stronger links, increasing query fan out coverage and more

We also provide ad hoc consulting and support

Clients can typically book SEO consulting hours which we use for AI visibility exercises, or they can choose to work with us on a retainer basis, typically we need to provide a quotation for this.

WHAT ARE YOU BUYING?

Depending on the scope of the work, you are generally buying consulting hours which we use to analyse your website's AI coverage before performing an audit, building a strategy with recommendations that can be actioned.

Generally we deliver:

  • Visibility data via google data studio and SEO Stack
  • Consulting support - providing feedback, guidance, checking implementations etc.
  • Recommendations to content writers (or we can provide content)
  • Recommendations for link building / digital PR

Each audit is bespoke to the client, but in general the main things we include in an AI visibility audit is:

An evaluation of your existing AI visibility across major LLMS

An evaluation of competitors and share of voice comparison

Prompt gaps

Evaluation of LLM accessibility of your content

Evaluation of your domains link profile

Evaluation of brand trust signals

What AI knows about you (WAIKAY assessment)

Evaluation of your websites organic performance (search console analysis)

WHAT CAN WE DO WITH THE AI VISIBILITY AUDIT?

This audit is designed to provide both insights and actionable recommendations. You can take the audit away and execute it on your side, or, if you would like support with executing an AI visibility strategy we can provide this too.

HOW LONG DOES THE AI VISIBILITY AUDIT TAKE?

The audits typically take 2-3 weeks for most clients, it does generally depend on when you book and the size of your website/brand/product/service offering. Most clients receive a delivered audit within 3 weeks.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR IN RESPECT OF VISIBILITY IN LLMS / AI SEARCHES?

So, the key thing our service focuses on is how visible your brand is and how much that converts into traffic, sales, conversions. Ultimately, being cited more in AI doesn’t always mean “more traffic”.

What we first have to ascertain is how visible your brand is for prompts that are relevant - we source prompt data from AHREFS & Google Search Console derived data - we look at the kind of things people are more likely to search for.

We then use SEO Stack (our own tool suite) which can poll core LLMS such as Gemini, AI Overviews, chatGPT, Claude etc. to see how much share of voice your brand has, how and where it is cited.

From there, once we have a feel for coverage, we begin looking at the websites underlying SEO performance - primarily because a good SEO strategy & profile is likely to lead to increased AI visibility performance.

We assess your websites technical SEO and rendering - to ensure that LLMS can access your content (because LLMS do not render javascript) therefore we want to see how much content LLMS can extract from your website.

We’re then looking at the overall site performance in respect of authority and trust - this plays a part in rankings and visibility in query fan out searches that are carried out by LLMS such as chatGPT.

CAUTIONS WITH OPTIMISING FOR LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS (AI SEARCH)

Optimising for AI search / large language models shouldn’t compromise other channel performance such as SEO, however, we’ve seen numerous examples across the web where optimising for AI ultimately cost businesses a lot of their organic performance.

This is a significant trade off because AI search still accounts for less than 10% of all online searches whereas SEO has a much larger search / click share - so ultimately cutting your nose off despite your face isn’t an effective way forward when it comes to optimising for LLMS.

Popular techniques involve “content chunking” to break content up so that they can be utilised in a response, or by changing content so that it’s problem > solution focused where other things may be stripped out that had ranking weight behind them.

COMMON AI VISIBILITY ISSUES

The most common AI visibility issues that we tend to see include (but are not limited to):

This is very common and is usually because of multiple issues, namely authority and how much the LLM knows about the brand, product or offering. Weaker, less known, less prominent brands are less likely (typically) to show up in LLM searches.

The biggest drivers of underperformance typically involve:

  • A lack of brand authority (good backlinks, reviews, independent review profiles)
  • Inconsistency in brand messaging
  • Content quality issues across brand, product, service, auxiliary content
  • Content accessibility issues for LLMS
  • A lack of external mentions and references i.e. comparison listicles, UGC etc

This is typically the same as the previous issue, but, this can often happen when LLMS are unable to properly access or retrieve content from your website. Primary issues here include:

  • LLMS not able to access products or full product categories / product coverage
  • LLMS unable to get some or all of the page content
  • Website content hidden behind JS button interaction elements
  • Content or authority issues

This can happen during LLM training and LLM RAG (retrieval augmentation generation) - where a cited brand, product or service is wrong or incorrect. This can happen if there is inconsistent or conflicting information.

Usually LLMS will trust the source they cite, but, if multiple areas across the web say something different this can impact generated responses where information may be wrong or out of date.

This is why we perform WAIKAY audits (what AI knows about your brand).

This can and does happen, typically if a brand/business is investing in AI visibility optimisation or “GEO” they can be missold exercises as part of a retainer - often putting time and efforts into things that are of no value, such as the creation of LLMS.txt, or, filing disavow reports to get rid of weak links or using AI to generate content at scale (scaled content abuse)

A majority of what makes AI visibility grow is based on strong, high quality traditional SEO which improves discoverability on the web.

So there’s plenty of spammy techniques for the AI visibility industry already - things such as scaled content abuse, self-promotional comparison listicles, artificial content date refreshing amongst other things.

Where spam becomes a problem, LLMS are often fairly quick to react, for example chatGPT has been using a broader, wider query fan out and will typically exclude self-promotional content where the brand writing it is biased and rating their own service or product above competitors.

HOW DO WE HELP CLIENTS APPEAR ACROSS MULTIPLE AI SEARCH MODELS?

We apply a uniformed approach to “best practice” and authority building - these alone tend to help increase performance across all mainstream LLMS including chatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude, Grok etc.

Each LLM has its own process for information generation and retrieval i.e. query fan out - there isn’t “specific” rules for each LLM, generally best practice will help improve AI visibility performance across the board.

Generally, improving index visibility with SEO tends to have a knock on effect for LLMS citing a brand more. If, during query fan out or grounding a brand is more prominent because it has a stronger presence on the web, naturally it's more likely to be cited.
