Question 1

What is AI visibility and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

AI visibility means whether AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews mention and recommend your business when people ask them for help. More and more consumers are skipping Google and asking AI directly — "best dentist in Copenhagen" or "affordable yoga studio near me." If AI doesn't mention your business, you're invisible to a growing segment of potential customers.

Question 2

Is AI search really replacing Google?

Accepted Answer

It's not replacing Google entirely — but it's taking a significant share of searches, especially for recommendations and local discovery. Google itself is shifting to AI Overviews that answer questions directly instead of showing blue links. Businesses that only optimize for traditional SEO are missing this shift. AI search optimization (sometimes called AEO or GEO) is becoming essential alongside traditional SEO.

Question 3

What's the difference between traditional SEO and AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

Traditional SEO tools like Yoast, Ubersuggest, or Screaming Frog measure your Google keyword rankings, backlinks, and technical health. They don't measure whether AI actually mentions or recommends your business. AI visibility is a completely different signal — it depends on your online presence across directories, reviews, structured data, and how AI models interpret your brand. Traditional SEO tools can't tell you if ChatGPT recommends your competitor instead of you.

Question 4

What do AEO and GEO mean?

Accepted Answer

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization — optimizing your content so AI assistants use it when answering questions. GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization — similar concept, focused on generative AI specifically. Both describe the practice of making your business visible in AI-powered search. AmIFoundOn.ai measures your AEO/GEO performance and gives you actionable steps to improve it.

Question 5

How does the free scan work?

Accepted Answer

Enter your business name, category, and location. We query real AI platforms (Perplexity and Claude on the free tier) with prompts your customers actually type — like "best pizza in Copenhagen" or "recommended dentist downtown." Within 60 seconds you get your AI Visibility Score (0–100), see which platforms mention you, what they say, and who your AI competitors are.

Question 6

How is the AI Visibility Score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your score combines four signals: Presence (40 pts) — how often AI mentions you across queries. Coverage (20 pts) — how many AI platforms find you. Sentiment (20 pts) — how positively AI talks about your business. Competition (20 pts) — how you compare to competitors that appear alongside you. The result is a 0–100 score with a letter grade.

Question 7

Which AI platforms do you check?

Accepted Answer

Free scans check Perplexity and Claude. The Starter plan ($9/mo) adds ChatGPT — the most popular AI assistant. Pro ($29/mo) and Agency ($19/client/mo) add Gemini and Google AI Overviews for complete coverage across all five major AI platforms your customers use.

Question 8

What are prompts and why do more matter?

Accepted Answer

Prompts are the questions we ask AI on your behalf — the same ones your customers type. With 2 prompts (free scan) you get a snapshot. With 10–15 prompts (paid plans) you uncover blind spots across different customer intents — like "romantic dinner spot" vs "family restaurant" vs "best seafood near me." More prompts means more complete insights and better recommendations.

Question 9

What happens after the free scan?

Accepted Answer

After your free scan, you see your score, which AI platforms mention you (and which don't), what they say about your business, and who your competitors are in AI results. You can email yourself the full report. If you want ongoing monitoring and personalized recommendations, you can sign up for a paid plan.

Question 10

What do I get with a paid subscription?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans give you: automated weekly scans (so you see trends over time), personalized action items each week (plain-language recommendations like "claim your Yelp page" or "respond to 3 Google reviews"), historical score tracking, alerts when your score changes significantly, and access to our step-by-step guides. But the real value is the evolving recommendation engine — it gets smarter about your business every week.

Question 11

What is the evolving recommendation engine?

Accepted Answer

This is what makes AmIFoundOn.ai different from a one-time audit. Every week, the system runs fresh scans and learns from the results — which prompts work for your business, what your competitors are doing, which directories matter in your industry. Based on this, it generates 3 new personalized actions tailored to where you are right now. Complete an action? It won't repeat it. Score improving in one area but lagging in another? It shifts focus. Even the prompts we test evolve over time to match how real customers search for businesses like yours. It's not a static checklist — it's a feedback loop that adapts to your specific situation week after week.

Question 12

Do I need technical skills to improve my score?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Our recommendations are plain-language actions like "claim your Google Business Profile" or "add FAQ schema to your website." Each comes with a step-by-step guide. Most actions take 10–30 minutes and require no coding or SEO expertise. If a recommendation does involve something technical, we explain it in simple terms.

Question 13

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most businesses see their first score improvement within 2–4 weeks of following recommendations. Directory listings typically get picked up by AI within 1–2 weeks. Consistent action over 8 weeks usually results in significant visibility gains. Your weekly scans track this progress automatically.

Question 14

What kind of recommendations will I get?

Accepted Answer

Common recommendations include: claiming and completing business profiles on Google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor; responding to customer reviews (AI models pay attention to review recency and quality); adding structured data (FAQ schema, LocalBusiness schema) to your website; getting listed on industry-specific directories that AI actually references; and improving your website content to be more easily understood by AI.

Question 15

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no contracts or commitments. Cancel from your dashboard at any time and keep access until the end of your billing period.

Question 16

Can I switch plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade at any time. When upgrading, you get immediate access to additional features. When downgrading, you keep your current features until the end of your billing period.

Question 17

How does the Agency plan work?

Accepted Answer

The Agency plan is designed for SEO companies and marketing agencies. You pay $19/month per client — start with just 1 client ($19/mo) and scale to as many as you need. Each client gets their own automated weekly scans, recommendations, and visibility score. Use CSV bulk import to onboard dozens of clients at once. Reports are white-labeled with your brand. Adding or removing clients adjusts your bill automatically.

Question 18

Is there a free tier?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anyone can run a free AI visibility scan on the homepage — no account needed. The free scan checks 2 AI platforms with 2 prompts and gives you your score, grade, and competitor analysis. For ongoing monitoring and recommendations, you'll need a paid plan starting at $9/month.

Question 19

What happens if AI recommends my competitor instead of me?

Accepted Answer

When someone asks ChatGPT "best pizza near me" and it names your competitor but not you, that's a lost customer. Unlike Google where you can see 10 results, AI typically recommends 2–3 businesses. If you're not one of them, you don't get a second chance. The shift to AI search is accelerating, and early movers who optimize now will have a significant advantage.

Question 20

Most companies aren't doing this yet — is it too early?

Accepted Answer

That's actually the opportunity. AI visibility optimization is where SEO was in 2005 — early adopters who invest now will build a lead that's hard for competitors to close. The businesses that claim their directory profiles, improve their review presence, and structure their content for AI today will be the ones AI recommends tomorrow.

Question 21

I already do SEO — isn't that enough?

Accepted Answer

Traditional SEO is still important for Google rankings, but AI search works differently. AI models pull from a broader set of sources — directories, reviews, structured data, authoritative content — and make their own judgment about which businesses to recommend. A site that ranks #1 on Google might not be mentioned by ChatGPT at all. You need both traditional SEO and AI visibility optimization.
