What is AI visibility?
AI visibility is how often and how prominently your brand appears in AI-generated answers — from ChatGPT and Perplexity to Google AI Overviews and Gemini responses. As buyers increasingly ask AI tools for recommendations instead of searching Google, appearing in those answers drives awareness, trust, and direct traffic to your business. Unlike traditional SEO, AI visibility depends on entity authority (how well-documented and consistent your brand is across the web), content structure (whether your pages answer questions directly and quotably), and citation signals (whether AI models have seen enough trusted references to your brand to confidently mention it). We measure AI visibility by tracking your brand across 12 AI engines for your most important queries every month.
Is AI visibility relevant for a Nepali business right now?
AI visibility is relevant for any Nepali business with customers who use ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google — and that includes most professional and B2B buyers today. For Nepali businesses serving international customers in Australia, the UK, or the US, it is especially urgent: those buyers are already using AI tools to research suppliers and service providers, and if your brand isn't in the answers, a competitor is. For domestic Nepali buyers, AI adoption is accelerating — ChatGPT usage in Nepal grew significantly in 2024 and 2025, particularly among young professionals and business owners. The businesses that build AI visibility now will hold a significant advantage over those who start in 12 months.
What's the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the practice of making your website rank well in traditional search results — the blue links on Google. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is the practice of making your brand appear in AI-generated answers — in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. They share some foundations: domain authority, content quality, and technical health matter for both. But AEO requires additional work that SEO does not: building entity authority across sources outside your website, structuring content in direct-answer format, implementing schema that AI engines understand, and tracking AI share-of-voice rather than keyword rankings. Most businesses need both. AEO is the newer discipline, and the businesses building it now are establishing a position that will be very hard to displace later.
Can you guarantee my brand appears in ChatGPT?
No AI visibility agency can guarantee specific placement in ChatGPT or any AI engine — the algorithms are not fully transparent and change frequently. What we can guarantee is that we complete all the measurable work that increases your probability of being cited: entity footprint across 25+ sources, direct-answer page structure, full schema implementation, and citation building in relevant directories. We track your AI share-of-voice monthly and report on real progress. Our typical clients see meaningful improvement in AI presence within 3–6 months. We show you the data at every step — you're never left guessing whether the work is having an effect.
How do AI engines decide which brands to mention?
AI engines cite brands that appear consistently across authoritative sources on the web, have content that directly answers the question being asked, are associated with trusted citations and backlinks, and have structured data (schema) that clearly describes what the business does and who it serves. In practical terms: a brand with a Wikipedia entry, a Google Knowledge Panel, Crunchbase profile, consistent NAP data across directories, and well-structured FAQ pages is far more likely to be cited than a brand that only has a website. The signal AI models trust most is consistency — the same name, description, and facts repeated accurately across many trusted sources.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We measure AI visibility by submitting a set of tracked queries to multiple AI engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews — and recording whether your brand appears in the response. We track this monthly for 20 target queries per client and report on brand mention rate, competitor mention rate, position within answers, and trend over time. We also track referral traffic from AI tools in GA4. This gives you a real share-of-voice metric — not a vanity score, but an actual count of how often your brand appears when buyers ask AI for recommendations in your category.
How long does it take to see results?
Most clients see measurable improvement in AI presence within 3–6 months. Entity and schema work often shows results faster — some clients see Google Knowledge Panel appearance within 4–8 weeks of entity building. AEO content takes longer: 2–4 months from publication before AI models reliably cite a new page. The full picture — consistent appearance across multiple AI engines for multiple tracked queries — typically takes 6–9 months to build. We report monthly so you see every incremental gain. We do not promise overnight results, and any agency that does is not telling you how these systems actually work.
What does the 47-point AI visibility audit cover?
The audit checks 47 specific signals across 12 AI engines and your web presence. It covers: entity consistency (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Google Knowledge Graph, Crunchbase), content structure (direct-answer format, FAQ presence, heading hierarchy), schema markup (FAQPage, Organization, Service, LocalBusiness), citation profile (quality and quantity of inbound links from authoritative sources), competitor AI share-of-voice (who your competitors are appearing for that you're not), and technical factors (crawlability, page speed, mobile readiness). You receive a scored report — every point rated as pass, fail, or needs improvement — with each gap ordered by its estimated impact on AI citation rate.
