AIO · AI optimisation

AI visibility for businesses: facts, technology and a measurable baseline

AI visibility does not start with a secret file. Search engines and AI assistants must first be able to establish reliably who you are, what you offer and why your information is useful.

The short definition

What AI optimisation does

AI systems build answers from information they can find, connect and trust. When your company name varies, prices appear only in images or your service area is never stated clearly, there is room for missing or incorrect answers.

I check technical access, make business information consistent, improve key pages and test how your business appears in Google and selected AI assistants. This uses the same foundations as good SEO: crawlable pages, helpful content, source quality and verifiable evidence.

No guarantee of a mention. What you do get is a verifiable baseline measurement, specific changes and a follow-up measurement.

Six components

What I check on your site

01

Entities

Business name, founder, location, services and relationships are consistent everywhere.

02

Citable facts

Prices, service area, approach and experience are stated in the text, not hidden in the design.

03

Direct answers

Important questions receive a complete answer without three paragraphs of advertising first.

04

Evidence and sources

Cases, authorship and external mentions substantiate what you say about yourself.

05

Technical context

Schema data, canonicals and internal links confirm which page and organisation are meant.

06

Tests

We test selected questions and record what is correct, missing or unverifiable.

No new miracle channel

What AIO is not

AIO is not paid placement in a chatbot, a list of one hundred AI-written pages or a guarantee of a brand mention.

An llms.txt file is experimental and not a proven ranking factor. It does not replace a sitemap, crawlable HTML, schema, original content or a reputation beyond your own domain.

External mentions must be earned and verifiable; I do not create fake sources or artificial citations. If your offering is unclear or proof is missing, markup will not fix it.

Measurement method

No arbitrary AIO score

I test the same agreed questions before and after changes, recording the date, source references and screenshots. Each system is assessed separately because its sources and answers differ.

Google

Indexing, search results, business profile and relevant AI visibility where available.

ChatGPT

Whether business details are presented correctly and which public sources are cited.

Perplexity

Answer, source selection and differences between your own site and external listings.

Copilot

Brand mentions, factual accuracy and visible source references in the same prompt set.

  1. 1. RecordQuestions, location, language, date and signed-in or anonymous context.
  2. 2. Baseline measurementWhat is correct, incorrect or missing, and which source the system uses.
  3. 3. ImproveCrawl access, entities, content, evidence, schema and internal coherence.
  4. 4. Measure againThe same test set; reporting differences without presenting every fluctuation as a gain.

Questions

Questions about AI optimisation

What is AI optimisation or AIO?

AIO structures and improves online information so AI systems can understand your business correctly and cite it where relevant. It covers clear facts, direct answers, entities, sources, internal consistency and technical schema data.

Is AIO the same as SEO?

Not exactly, but there is considerable overlap. Good technology, useful content, evidence and consistent business information help both search engines and AI answers. AIO places extra emphasis on citability and unambiguous entities.

Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will mention my business?

No. No agency controls the answers from ChatGPT, Google, Perplexity or other systems. I can check and improve the information they can find on your website and in reliable external sources.

What exactly will be changed?

For example: price and region data, answer blocks, FAQs, authorship, schema data, source references, consistent naming, internal links and pages that answer demonstrable questions in full.

How is AIO reported?

Your PDF shows which facts and pages were improved, which tests were performed, where systems mention you incorrectly or not at all, and the next verifiable step. Growth also includes a personal video report.

Can I have AIO done as a one-off?

Yes. The Local SEO + AIO Boost costs € 495 excl. VAT and covers your profile, listings, review flow, one local page and the AIO baseline.

Does an llms.txt file help with AI rankings?

There is no reliable ranking claim for this. llms.txt is an experimental supplementary file and does not replace crawlable HTML, a sitemap, schema, good content or external reputation. I check it only as a small technical component, not as a miracle solution.
