Sample data with invented names. Shows the format, not a client result.
The results page is becoming the answer.
Fewer people read ten links. An AI Overview sits above the Google results, and buying research starts in a chat. What this AI search says about your industry shows up in no tool you own.

An instrument. Not a dashboard.
A fixed set of questions runs repeatedly across five engines, in clean sessions. We report the distribution, with its spread. You get no login. You get the findings.

- answer engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Copilot, Gemini

- evidence labels on every figure: observed, correlated, attributed, causal

- client logins. No dashboard, no software
AI answers are non-deterministic. A figure without a sample size and a spread is not a measurement.
How we measure AI visibilityThree services. One loop.
Measure, act, measure again.
Visibility audit
Where you stand in AI answers, next to whom, with which errors.
- Share of answers against named competitors
- Mentions, citations and recommendations reported separately
- Prioritised action list
Technical implementation
Your website made readable and quotable for machines.
- Crawler access per bot
- Content readable without JavaScript
- Consistent company data
Ongoing support
Measure, interpret, implement, report. Every month.
- Follow-up readings against the baseline
- Implementation, not just recommendation
- Monitoring of false statements
Misdescribed is worse than unmentioned.
AI systems phrase things in their own words and invent facts along the way: a wrong service range, a confused name, an insolvency that never happened. Since May 2026, Google is liable for this in Germany (Munich Regional Court I, under appeal).
42%
of people in Germany who use AI for search have already received false or invented information.

How it runs
Every step ends with a document you keep.
Collect the questions
What do your customers ask before they contact you? That becomes the prompt set. You sign it off.
ErgebnisPrompt set, approved
Measure the baseline
The set runs repeatedly across five engines, in the language your buyers use. The reading is frozen.
ErgebnisBaseline with spread
Prioritise
A sorted list: impact, effort, owner, evidence. Including what we advise against.
ErgebnisAction list
Implement
Technical work on the site, editorial work on the content, with your people. Every change dated.
ErgebnisChange log
Measure again
Same set, same method. Only a movement larger than the spread counts as change.
ErgebnisFollow-up with evidence labels
Is it a fit?
Worth it if
- your sales depend on enquiries that start with research
- buyers in your category compare suppliers
- your website already has substantial content
- someone can approve technical changes
Not worth it if
- your website has no real content yet
- you want a promise of first place
- you want a self-serve tool
- results within a few weeks are decisive
Common questions
Isn't this just SEO?
For Google's own AI features, largely yes, and Google says so. ChatGPT and Perplexity have their own indexes, retrieval paths and source preferences. About two thirds of the work is clean SEO. The last third is new: Generative Engine Optimization compared with SEO.
How do you measure something that changes every time?
As a sample. Every question runs several times in clean sessions with no history. We report the distribution, with its spread. A single query in ChatGPT proves nothing.
Do you guarantee results?
No. Nobody controls how a model weighs its sources. We guarantee the inputs we can influence, a documented measurement standard and a fixed reporting rhythm.
Do we get access to your system?
No. The instrument is ours. You get the findings, the priorities, the implementation and the raw observations.
What does it cost?
There is no price list: category, competitors, languages and the state of your website set the effort. After one conversation you get a fixed-scope proposal. The smallest engagement is a baseline plus one follow-up reading.
What do the engines say about you?
Give us one question your customers ask. We look it up and reply with a first read.
