GEO Audit

The brands that got into πŸ” Google early stayed there for years. Now, the same window is open in AI search.

First mover advantage in AI search is still available. Find out where you stand before it closes.

Context

Search has already changed. The opportunity is still wide open.

Two in three Google searches now end without anyone clicking through to a website. Half of B2B buyers start in an AI chatbot, not Google. And when they ask, the answer comes from what everyone else has published about you.

The advantage in AI search is still open. Most brands haven't moved yet.

AI doesn't read your website the way Google did.

When someone asks ChatGPT which brand to choose, the answer is built from what third parties have published about you β€” not from your website.

Your content is a footnote

Your website, blog, and press releases contribute just 5–10% of what AI reads about you.

One brand owns each category

In almost every market, a single name dominates AI answers. Below it, citations drop off sharply.

#1
Category leader
847 citations
#2
Competitor A
124 citations
Your brand
12 citations

The window is still open β€” but closing fast

AI models form their view of every category from coverage that exists today. Brands not in that corpus are being written out while they wait. Most haven't moved yet.

You can't buy your way in

Unlike Google, paid media has zero influence on AI answers.

84%
of AI citations are earned media

Paid accounts for 0.3%

Sponsored content is almost entirely ignored by AI citation engines.

The same proof ✨ wins the machine and the buyer.

When AI assembles its answer and when a buyer does their research, both reach for identical things: credible, third-party proof.

What we assess

Three things determine your AI visibility.

Our audit covers the exact inputs that AI engines use when deciding whether to include your brand in the answer.

How much credible third-party coverage exists for your brand.

Earned coverage is the single most predictive input for citation share in AI. We assess the publications AI engines actually trust β€” and whether your brand appears in them.

  • βœ“ Tier-1 editorial mentions
  • βœ“ Industry round-up inclusion
  • βœ“ Review platform presence (G2, Reddit, etc.)
  • βœ“ Share of voice vs competitors

What is a GEO audit?+
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation. We assess how your brand appears when AI engines answer questions in your category. Visibility scores, citation sources, competitor positioning, and the gaps holding you back.
I already rank well on Google. Does that carry over?+
Partly, but not always in the same way. Traditional search rankings and AI visibility are increasingly separate problems. A brand can sit on page one in Google and be almost invisible in AI answers. The audit tells you exactly where you stand across both.
Can’t I just publish more content?+
Your own site counts for a small fraction of the picture. While it’s worth doing to boost relevance, the engines draw primarily from third-party sources. Publishing more of your own content won’t move the needle the way earned coverage does.
How long does the audit take?+
Most audits are completed within a few working days. We’ll confirm details after you submit.
Can you help us act on what you find?+
Yes. If you want support after the audit, we can help you build the strategy to improve your position. That conversation only happens if you want it.
The window is still open

Those that moved first in the early days of Google stayed at the top for years.

This is that moment for AI search.
The engines are forming their view of every category right now.
