What questions do your customers ask AI assistants?
Facing an AI assistant, a customer does not type “clinic Casablanca”: they ask “which clinic in Casablanca should I choose for a quick MRI?”. These questions are longer, more precise and often asked in several languages. Together with you, we build a panel of questions that represents your customers, then we test it on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI answers.
For each question, we record who is cited, in what order, and from which sources. That is the starting point: knowing where you are absent, and why a competitor is cited instead of you.
How do you make your pages citable?
An AI assistant cites passages it can easily understand and verify. We rewrite your key pages following a few simple rules:
- a direct answer of 40 to 60 words at the top of the page;
- subheadings phrased like your customers’ questions;
- verifiable facts: services, areas served, opening hours, indicative prices, references;
- an FAQ built from real questions;
- structured data (Organization, Service, FAQPage) that describes your business unambiguously.
We also check that AI engine crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended…) can access your website, and we add an llms.txt file that presents your essential pages.
Why do third-party sources matter?
Before recommending a business, an AI assistant cross-checks several sources: customer reviews, directories, press articles, comparisons. If your website is the only one talking about you, you will rarely be cited. We identify the sources that keep appearing in your industry’s answers and work on your presence in the ones that matter.
How do you measure your presence in AI answers?
AI assistants’ answers vary from one time to the next. Reliable measurement therefore means testing each question several times, with several phrasings, on several engines. We track your share of citations against your competitors and the accuracy of what is said about you, then adjust the actions accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to be cited by an AI?
The first effects often appear within a few weeks on engines that search the web live, such as Perplexity, ChatGPT Search or Claude. Changes in the models' built-in knowledge take longer.
Does AEO replace SEO?
No. AI assistants rely heavily on the pages that search engines index and rank. Good SEO remains the foundation, and AEO extends it to generated answers.
