AI visibility

AI SEO and GEO: be the business AI systems actually cite.

Customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews who to trust and which company to choose. Inspiry Solutions makes your business easy for them to understand, verify and cite.

AI visibility, also called AI search optimisation, generative engine optimisation (GEO) or AI SEO, makes your business easy for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to identify and cite. It builds on SEO rather than replacing it, as Google's guidance on AI features (opens in a new tab) confirms.

The visibility gap

Ranking in Google doesn't mean AI search understands your business.

Search visibility and AI visibility overlap, but they are not the same thing.

Visibility starts with clarity.

What AI systems need

AI visibility is not one optimisation.

It is the result of several signals working together, so AI systems understand you, trust the information and have a reason to cite it.

01

Entity clarity

Make it clear who the business is and what it represents.

02

Structured information

Organise important information so machines can interpret it consistently.

03

Strong content

Answer the questions customers actually ask.

AI visibility
  • Clearer understanding
  • Stronger trust
  • More likely to be cited
04

Technical accessibility

Make important pages accessible and understandable.

05

Consistency

Align important facts across your website and the wider web.

06

Authority

Build the evidence that supports why your business should be trusted.

AI visibility audit

First, we find out what AI systems already know about you.

We benchmark the business across relevant prompts, services, competitors and sources.

Technical foundation

AI visibility starts with a website machines can understand.

Schema, semantic HTML, entity information, internal linking, architecture and crawlability help machines understand the business, not just the page.

Content

Write for people. Structure for machines.

The goal is not hundreds of AI-written articles. It is useful pages that answer real questions clearly, with enough context for machines to understand the answer.

Consistency

One business should not look like five different businesses online.

We find conflicting business information, define the source of truth and strengthen the signals that describe the same business everywhere.

The objective is not to manipulate the answer. It is to make the correct answer easier to understand and support.

Measurement

If we cannot measure it, we should not pretend it improved.

Brand mentions, citations, accuracy, competitor visibility and source presence are benchmarked first, then tracked over time.

The goal is not a vanity score. It is evidence of what changed.

Why us

AI visibility needs more than content.

It sits across technical SEO, site architecture, content, implementation and measurement. We work across the whole stack, so recommendations do not stop at a report.

One team across the whole stack

Strategy, implementation and measurement stay with the same team.

No shortcuts.
No guaranteed AI rankings.

AI visibility is influenced, not controlled.

What we will not sell

  • Guaranteed AI recommendations
  • Fake authority
  • Hundreds of low-quality AI articles
  • Schema markup sold as the whole strategy
  • Meaningless visibility scores

What we do instead

  1. 01

    Improve the signals we can control

    Structure, content, schema, entity clarity and technical foundations.

  2. 02

    Measure before claiming progress

    Benchmark visibility, citations, accuracy and competitor presence.

  3. 03

    Implement real changes

    Make the improvements directly on the website instead of stopping at recommendations.

  4. 04

    Track what happens afterwards

    Monitor how relevant AI answers, sources and business descriptions change over time.

We improve what we can control. Then we measure what actually changes.

No guaranteed platform outcomes. No fabricated client results.

Questions

AI visibility questions.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No, and nobody honestly can. AI answers change as models and sources change. Inspiry Solutions improves the signals AI systems rely on, such as entity clarity, schema and consistent business details, and measures what changes against the same prompts.

Is AI visibility the same as SEO?

Not quite. SEO helps your pages get found and ranked; AI visibility helps AI systems understand your business and cite it in their answers. They share a foundation of crawlable pages, clear structure and schema, which is why we treat them together.

Which AI platforms do you monitor?

ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, across a fixed set of prompts for your services, locations and competitors, so each re-measure compares like with like.

Do I need new content?

Sometimes. Usually your existing pages need restructuring and clarifying first: clear definitions, answer-first sections and consistent facts. New content is added only where there is a gap the existing site cannot fill.

Do I need schema markup?

Yes, but it is one signal among several, not the whole strategy. Schema helps machines read who you are and what you offer; it works best alongside consistent business details across the web and content that answers real questions.

Can you implement the changes?

Yes. Inspiry Solutions builds WordPress sites, so schema, architecture and content changes are made by us on your site, not handed off as a report for someone else to implement.

How long before results change?

AI answers update irregularly, so results are measured over months, not days. We benchmark first, make the fixes, then typically re-measure every quarter against the same prompts.

How much does AI visibility work cost?

The AI visibility check is free. A full AI visibility audit starts from $600 and takes 2-3 weeks. Ongoing work is part of the monthly growth retainer from $600 a month, with a three-month minimum, then month to month. Prices are in USD.
