How often you're named
Your buyers' questions, asked of each assistant several times with live web search on. You get a mention rate with an honest range, per assistant and per question.
AI visibility · Answer engine optimisation
Get named when buyers ask AI
More buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Claude for a recommendation before they search. GroundReach shows whether those assistants name your business, who they name instead, and what to change, then tracks the result week by week.
What GroundReach measures
Who's named instead
Share of voice against your competitors, and which questions name them but not you.
The sources that decide it
The sites AI assistants cite when they recommend a competitor and not you: the places to get mentioned next, turned into outreach tasks.
Whether AI can read your site
Which AI search crawlers your robots.txt lets in, your structured data, and the Google AI Overviews shown for your keywords, including whether they cite you.
What actually moves AI visibility
Let AI read your site
Make sure AI search crawlers aren't blocked, and describe your business with clear structured data.Answer the real questions
Pages that directly answer what your buyers ask, in plain language, are what assistants quote.Be mentioned where AI looks
Assistants lean on other sites: reviews, directories, industry publications and community discussions. Getting mentioned there tends to matter most.Measure, then repeat
Check the same questions every week, see what changed, and keep what works.
GroundReach can't make an AI assistant recommend you, and no one honestly can. It shows you where you stand and what to fix, and keeps measuring.
Questions about AI visibility
What is answer engine optimisation (AEO)?
Answer engine optimisation is making your business easy for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude to find, trust and recommend when someone asks them a question. It's sometimes called generative engine optimisation (GEO). It builds on SEO: the assistants search the web, so being findable, clearly described and mentioned by other trusted sites matters most.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
Make sure AI search crawlers can read your site, describe clearly who you serve and what you offer (including structured data), answer your buyers' real questions on your own pages, and get mentioned on the sites AI assistants already cite in your market, such as reviews, directories, industry publications and community discussions. Then measure: ask the same buyer questions regularly and track whether you're named.
What is an AI visibility tool?
An AI visibility tool asks AI assistants the questions your buyers ask, many times, and records how often your business is named, which competitors are named instead, and which sources the assistants cite. GroundReach does this for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, with their live web search on.
Is AEO different from SEO?
They overlap. SEO aims to rank pages in search results; AEO aims to be named in AI-written answers. Much of the groundwork is shared (a crawlable, well-structured site and pages that answer real questions), but AEO puts more weight on how often other trusted sites mention you and on answering questions directly.
Why does my AI visibility change from one check to the next?
AI assistants don't give the same answer every time. GroundReach asks each question several times per assistant and shows a range rather than a single number, so you can tell a real change from normal variation.
