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. In the UK, where traditional organic search traffic fell 18% in 2024 while AI-generated traffic grew 7×, appearing in AI answers is no longer a future consideration — it is a present one. AI visibility depends on entity authority, content structure, and citation signals. We measure it across 12 AI engines monthly.
What's the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) focuses on getting your brand cited in direct-answer AI tools — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) focuses on appearing in AI-generated search summaries — primarily Google AI Overviews. Both terms are used in the UK market. The technical work they require overlaps significantly: entity building, direct-answer content structure, and schema markup improve performance in both. We treat AEO and GEO as a combined discipline and deliver both in one integrated programme.
What's the difference between Ignited Nepal and Found (the AEO agency)?
Found is a UK-based agency with strong AEO credentials and a proprietary methodology. They are one of very few UK agencies with genuine AEO depth. Ignited Nepal is a growth engineering company — we treat AI visibility as one component of a broader system that also includes search, paid acquisition, and technical infrastructure. If you want AI visibility integrated with your broader organic search and paid programmes, we connect those systems in ways a standalone AEO agency does not. If you want only AEO delivered in isolation, Found is a strong option.
Can you guarantee my brand appears in ChatGPT?
No guarantee of specific AI placement is honest — the models are not transparent and update continuously. What we guarantee is completing all the documented, measurable work that increases your probability of citation: entity footprint across 25+ sources, direct-answer content, full schema implementation, and citation building. We track your AI share-of-voice monthly and report on real data.
How do AI engines decide which brands to mention?
AI engines cite brands that are consistently documented across authoritative sources, have content that directly answers the question being asked, carry strong citation signals from trusted domains, and have schema that clearly describes what the business does. For UK brands, this means consistency across Wikipedia, UK trade publications, industry directories, and sector-specific knowledge bases.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We submit 20 tracked queries monthly to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, and record whether your brand appears in the response. We report on brand mention rate, competitor mention rate, position within answers, and month-on-month trend. AI referral traffic tracked in GA4.
How long does it take to see results?
Measurable improvement in AI presence typically begins within 3–6 months. Entity and schema work often shows faster early results. AEO content takes 2–4 months before AI models reliably cite it. Consistent appearance across multiple AI engines for multiple target queries is typically established within 6–9 months.
Does AI visibility work differently for e-commerce versus B2B?
The technical foundations are the same: entity authority, direct-answer content, and schema. The content strategy differs by audience. For B2B and professional services, AI visibility is primarily about being cited in category-level queries. For e-commerce, it is also about product-level queries — appearing in AI-generated product recommendations. We tailor the content strategy and tracked queries to the business type.
