AI visibility is about making your business visible, understandable, and preferred in AI search. We help you build the basis that enables AI systems to interpret who you are, what you offer, and when you should be mentioned in the answers they give.

What is an AI foundation?

An AI foundation is the technical and structural basis that enables AI systems to understand who you are, what you offer, and why you're relevant. Without it, you effectively won't be chosen as a source in AI answers.

Why is the AI foundation important?

Without machine-readable content, AI can misunderstand what you offer or, in the worst case, overlook you entirely.

The foundation helps ensure it's your version of the truth that gets used, and strengthens trust signals.

AEO and GEO efforts can have little or no effect if the technical and structural basis isn't in place first.

How is the AI foundation built?

Website audit

The audit maps how AI interprets the website and reveals technical gaps.

Structured data (schema)

Structured data (schema) is machine-readable code that tells AI what the content is about.

Content architecture and internal linking

Ensures content is organized, structured, and logically connected.

FAQ

FAQs are structured question-and-answer sections that let AI systems cite the content directly.

Building authority signals

Ensures clear and consistent signals about who you are and what you offer.

What does the AI foundation give you?

The AI foundation provides the structural groundwork for being better understood and more frequently mentioned and cited in AI answers. The expected impact is:

A website that AI can understand

Increased visibility in AI search

More accurate information reflected in AI answers

FAQ

What is an AI foundation?

An AI foundation is the technical and structural groundwork that lets AI understand who you are, what you offer, and why you're relevant.

Why do you need an AI foundation before AEO?

Because AI has to understand your content before it can be used as an answer. Without the foundation, your content most likely won't be chosen, no matter how good it is.

How do you know if you're missing structured data or schema?

Typical signs that you're missing schema:

– You don't show up in ChatGPT or AI answers
– It's unclear what you offer in the answers AI gives
– Competitors are more visible

What's the difference between the AI foundation and AEO?

The AI foundation is the groundwork. AEO is the optimization to get chosen in AI answers. Without the foundation, it's hard to work on AEO.

Can we build the AI foundation ourselves?

Yes, but it takes a technical understanding of structure, data, and AI logic. Many make mistakes when they lack experience.
