When someone asks ChatGPT, are you the answer?
Your next client isn’t scrolling ten blue links any more. They’re asking ChatGPT, Google’s AI and Perplexity who to use, and getting two or three names back. We check whether you’re one of them, show you why or why not, and fix the things that decide it.
Nobody controls what an AI says, so we promise the work and the measurement, never a placement.
1. A competitor: strong reviews, easy online booking
2. Another competitor: well-established, sports injuries
3. A third competitor: highly rated, central location
The recommendation happens inside the answer now.
This isn’t a future trend. Every number below has a named source.
The AI doesn’t rank you. It decides whether to recommend you.
When someone asks for “the best clinic near me” or “a solicitor for probate”, the AI reads a handful of sources it trusts, weighs a few signals and names two or three businesses. These are the signals that keep coming up in the research.
Review depth and recency
Not just your star rating: how many reviews, how recent, how consistent across platforms. AI assistants lean on reviews harder than Google’s map pack does.
Third-party mentions
Directories, “best of” articles, forums and professional registers. If the sources AI trusts for your niche don’t know you exist, neither does the answer.
Quotable pages
Pages that answer real questions plainly: what it costs, who it is for, how long it takes. A machine can’t recommend what it can’t quote.
Crawler access
ChatGPT’s browser doesn’t run JavaScript, and many sites still block AI crawlers outright. Plenty of businesses are invisible for purely technical reasons.
Entity consistency
The same name, address, services and story everywhere: your site, Google Business Profile, directories, socials. Contradictions make a cautious machine skip you.

We take ten real questions your customers ask, run them on ChatGPT and Google’s AI answers, twice each, and send you one page: where you appear, who gets recommended instead, and the single biggest reason why. With screenshots, because you should see it with your own eyes.
- Mention rate. How often you appear across 20 answer runs for your money questions.
- Who wins instead. The competitors AI names for the exact searches that pay your invoices.
- What AI says about you. When you are mentioned, is it accurate? Old prices and dead services turn up more often than you’d think.
- The sources. Which sites AI reads to answer questions in your niche, and whether you exist on them.
- Technical basics. Whether AI crawlers can even read your site, and whether you’re indexed where they look.
- The one fix. The single highest-impact thing to do first, whether you do it with us or on your own.
The audit puts a number on it.
The full AI Visibility Audit runs 40+ real customer questions across ChatGPT, Google’s AI, Perplexity and Gemini, several times each, and measures you against three named competitors. You get a score, the evidence and a 90-day plan you could hand to any competent marketer.
| Business | Mentioned | Recommended first |
|---|---|---|
| Competitor A | 9 of 12 runs | 5 times |
| Competitor B | 6 of 12 runs | 3 times |
| You | 1 of 12 runs | never |
Illustrative sample of the audit’s share-of-voice table. Your report is built from live runs on your real questions, dated, with screenshots for every claim. AI answers vary between runs, which is why we test repeatedly and track trends rather than single answers.
Start free. Go as far as the evidence takes you.
Every step stands on its own. The free check is useful by itself, the audit is yours to act on with anyone, and the audit fee comes off the fixing work if we do it together. There is no price list: each step is scoped and quoted in writing.

We avoid taking on direct rivals in the same area, because we can’t honestly optimise two businesses for the same answer.
The honest test: weigh the work against what one new client is worth to you. No promises on the outcome: nobody can guarantee what an AI will say, and you should walk away from anyone who claims otherwise. What we promise is the work and the measurement.
Three things we refuse to sell you.
“AI SEO” is attracting the same crowd that sold pixie-dust SEO in 2010. Here is where we stand, with receipts.
Guaranteed placement in ChatGPT
Nobody controls what a model says, and the answers change between runs and updates. We fix the inputs with evidence behind them and measure the movement. Anyone promising placements is guessing with your money.
An llms.txt file as a deliverable
Google’s John Mueller: “purely speculative for now... none of the AI systems use it.” It takes five minutes, we’ll add one while we’re in there, and we will never invoice it as the headline.
Schema markup as an AI-citation lever
Ahrefs tested nearly 2,000 pages that added it: no meaningful uplift in AI citations. It is useful for classic search features and we implement it for those, honestly labelled.
A person, not a dashboard.
I’ve spent 15+ years in marketing and content, including work for Gary Vaynerchuk, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Direct Line. Now I build AI growth systems for service businesses. Every check and audit on this page is reviewed by me personally, and when you work with Pikul, you get my number, not a ticket queue.

We’re not a clinic. Is this for us?
