Measured August 21, 2026 against Gemini with Google Search grounding. Five questions per brand — your report asks far more.
Nobody scrolls to a second answer. Being named is the whole game, and above are the questions where even a household name is not.

Being named by AI is roughly thirty times harder than ranking in Google's local pack: 1.2% against 35.9%, measured across the same locations.

See who AI names instead of you
Your competitors in AI are frequently not the ones you have been watching.

Know which sources decided it
This is the part that makes a fix possible instead of guesswork.
- Every page the engine cited to build its answer
- Which of those sources mention you, and which have never heard of you
- The specific gap to close, in priority order
- tripadvisor.commentions you
- reddit.comnever heard of you
- nomadicmatt.comnever heard of you
- booking.commentions you
Measured, not estimated
We ask Gemini and Google AI Overviews, live, with Google Search grounding
Every answer carries the sources behind it — no cached model knowledge, no guessing what AI said last year. Two engines today, named plainly rather than implied — and they disagree, which is the point: on one business we measured, Gemini named them in 46% of answers and Google's AI Overview in 7%. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot are next, and your report shows a column for each so you can see exactly what is covered.

- real buying questions asked to build the sample reports on this site
Our own numbers, from the reports published on this site. We would rather show you a small true number than a large invented one.
Being named and being quoted are not the same thing. AI can describe your business without quoting your site, and quote your site without naming you. On Gemini, as few as 30% of the brands mentioned are also cited as sources — so we measure both.

How Lisa works
Four steps, and a report at the end of them you can check line by line. Then, for the people who want it, the method underneath.
1Lisa reads your site
The same way an AI crawler does — the HTML before the JavaScript, your robots.txt, your structured data, the pages you actually sell from. That crawl is thirty of your hundred points, and every finding comes back as a sentence you can verify in your own browser.
2Lisa asks what your customers ask
Real buying questions for your trade and your area — not a keyword list. The ones at the top get asked three times, because AI answers move between runs and one sample is not a measurement.
3Lisa shows you the answers, word for word
Your position in every answer, who was named instead of you, which KIND of question you lose, and every page the engines read to decide. Nothing summarised away, nothing you have to take on faith.
4Lisa's team does the work
A prioritised list where every hour is booked against a source in your own report. Do it yourself from the same list, or hand it to us and watch the number move on the next scan.
The method
- AI SEO, AEO and GEO
- Three names for the same thing. AEO is answer engine optimisation, GEO is generative engine optimisation, and AI SEO is what everyone actually calls it. It is not ranking in a list of links — it is being named inside the answer.
- 40–60 questions
- Generated per trade, city and language — not a generic keyword list. Head questions run three times, because AI answers vary between runs and one sample is not a measurement.
- Composite score out of 100
- Findability 45 · Readiness 30 · Answerability 15 · Presence 10. Those weights are fixed and published, so two scans are comparable.
- Weekly, not daily
- AI answers drift. One snapshot tells you almost nothing; an eight-week slope tells you whether the work is working.
- Every raw answer stored
- We keep the full response behind every score. When you ask why a number moved, there is a real sentence to point at.
Lisa does the work, not just the report
Most tools hand you a dashboard and wish you luck. Lisa is the same voice that answers the phone for local businesses at LisaHola — and behind her is a team that actually does the fixing: the citations, the Google profile, the reviews, the pages that get quoted.
She works in English and Spanish because your customers do. And she tells you plainly when something is not worth doing.
— Lisa
Built for the people who already pay to be found
If you have ever bought an ad, a listing or an SEO retainer, you already believe visibility is worth money. Only the surface has changed.
Hotels, restaurants and travel
Travel is the single most common thing people plan with AI. The booking follows the answer, not the map.
Online stores and large catalogues
Every SKU is a product that can be recommended, or silently skipped, in a comparison you never see.
Trades and home services
Urgent, local, and decided in one question. There is no second answer to scroll to.
Clinics, practices and professionals
High-trust, high-value, heavily researched. Being named is the entire referral.
Industries
Pick your trade and see the real numbers
Every one of these has a measured report on this site, run against a brand you already know.
What it is worth
How many jobs does it take to pay for itself?
Not a forecast — a breakeven. Pick your trade and tell us what one customer is worth. If the number does not work, we would rather you found out here.
Your trade
One job is worth about $450. Use your own figure if ours is wrong.
You break even at 1.5 extra jobs a month. Everything after that is yours.
Job values are typical US figures for each trade and are stated so you can argue with them. We do not promise extra jobs — we measure whether AI names you, and we do the work that gets you named.
Pricing
We are not the cheapest. Here is exactly why.
Every price below buys hours of specialist work, and every hour is booked against a source in your own report.

What the hours buy
There is no setting to switch on. Somebody has to go and do it.
Every hour above is booked against a source that appears in your own report — a page an assistant actually read while answering a question you lost. Here is what the work is, and why it cannot be automated away.
- 01
We read where each engine actually looks
The engines do not share a diet. In the Semrush index, ChatGPT cites 15.4 sources per answer and leans on reference and community pages; Google's AI Mode cites 11.4 and leans social and local; AI Overviews cite 9.2 with video dominant; Gemini cites 3.3, favouring commerce. A brand built only for one of them is invisible in the others.*
- 02
We get you onto those sources, by hand
That means a real profile written on the directory that gets quoted for your trade, a real answer posted where your customers are already asking, a real page about the service you actually sell. It is a person writing and submitting, every time. There is no API for being worth citing.
- 03
We make your site say the same thing everywhere
The index's central finding is that the brands winning are the ones whose signals say the same thing on every surface — deeper coverage on the sources that matter, not more pages. Name, address, hours, services and claims have to match across your site and every profile. Reconciling that is unglamorous and it is most of the job.*
- 04
We re-measure, and show you the movement
Mentions and citations are separate things: AI can describe your business without quoting your site, and quote your site without naming you. We track both, and every month you get the same scan again so the line either moved or it did not.*
Everyone else sells you a dashboard. We hire people to do the work.
Tools in this category run from about $95 to $500 a month, and every one of them stops at the same place: a screen telling you that AI does not mention your business. Then you are on your own — with a subscription, and a problem you now cannot unsee.
A dashboard is not a fix
Knowing you are invisible changes nothing. Somebody still has to get you listed, write the page, and fill in the profile. We employ those people; a tracker does not.
You can see where the hours went
Every hour we bill is booked against a source that appears in your own report, with the date and what changed. We will not bill an hour against something we cannot point at.
We measure first, then work
The list is built from the pages AI actually read while answering questions about your trade. That is why we can say what to do rather than guess — and why we never sell you keyword advice.
So yes, we cost more than a tracker. We cost less than the agency you would have to hire to act on what a tracker tells you — and we are the only ones who can show you, line by line, what the money bought.
What we will always do
Four promises. Each one is checkable, which is the point.
You see the actual answers
Word for word, engine labelled. Not a score you have to take on faith — the sentences AI wrote about your trade, in full.
Our formula is published
The whole scoring method is public: what we weight, why, and how we count. Check our arithmetic. Most tools will not show you theirs.
English and Spanish, scored apart
Two languages, two question sets, two scores. Being visible in English and invisible in Spanish is not a rounding error in Miami — it is half your market.
Every fix traces to a real gap
We only recommend something when we can point at the source that cites a competitor and not you. No keyword stuffing, no busywork billed by the hour.
