Does AI recommend
your business?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) — also called Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) — gets AI chatbots and AI search to mention and recommend you; SEO ranks you in classic search. They overlap, and strong SEO still feeds the AI engines — so we do both. GEO is the superset.

The ones your customers use — ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot — tested per engine, never blind-averaged, because each one sees you differently.

From your own site and the third-party sources it trusts — directories, review sites, communities like Reddit, local media. The Full Scan shows exactly which ones AI cites for your category, and where your competitors appear that you don't.

Yes — it's our edge. We probe every engine in English, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Afrikaans and Sepedi — one language per major SA family. Most tools test English only.

Increasingly, AI agents act for customers — and pick the sites they can actually use. We check your agent-commerce readiness (agent access, llms.txt, AGENTS.md, the emerging commerce protocols) so you're not invisible to them. Most tools don't look at this yet.

Yes. Every scan now also measures your Growth Readiness — the "will the humans who land actually act?" half: clarity (do visitors instantly get what you do?), conversion path (one obvious next step), credibility (proof near the ask) and shareability. It's a free, diagnostic read of your homepage; the Full Scan report adds the detail and an industry benchmark.

Yes — no card, just your URL. You get your Readiness score (how ready your site is for AI, across the pillars) plus an emailed summary. Your Visibility score — whether AI actually cites you — plus competitors and the deeper diagnosis are the paid Full Scan. The Launch Pack is the only tier that gives you the how — ready-to-apply fixes and a step-by-step guide.

About 15–30 minutes — a deep, per-engine run, not an instant lookup. We email you when your dashboard is ready. If an AI engine is temporarily down or rate-limiting us, the scan automatically waits and retries rather than guessing — so it can run longer, but you still get real results. If an engine stays unavailable, we finish without it and tell you which one, so your score is never based on a failed lookup.

We don't ask you to trust a score. The Full Scan shows you the actual AI answers, word-for-word, with the sources each engine cited and a 95% confidence range on every number — so you can check, and re-run, the proof yourself.

No — and be wary of anyone who promises that. AI decides what to cite. What we do is make you eligible and ready: close the technical, authority and in-language gaps that keep you invisible, so you're a candidate when AI answers your customer. Your Launch Pack guide also lays out the off-site work — which directories, review sites and communities to pursue — as a prioritised, plain-language action plan to grow your citation probability over time.

Two different timelines. Technical readiness — making your site something AI can read, understand and trust — lands fast, often within days, and you can re-scan and watch those signals climb almost immediately. Being seen and cited in AI answers is slower and less predictable: engines have to re-crawl you, and citations depend heavily on off-site authority — listings, mentions, reviews and links — which you build through ongoing work, not by waiting. So this timeline tracks the rate and quality of the work you put in as much as the calendar. Expect early movement on local and long-tail questions within a couple of months if you're actively working the off-site list; broader, competitive visibility is a 3–6 month-plus, compounding effort. We suggest a first re-scan around 2–3 months as a checkpoint — not a finish line. In short: ready is quick and in your control; cited is earned over time, and depends on what you do next.

The Full Report shows exactly what is wrong that needs fixing. The Launch Pack hands you a detailed User Guide and ready-to-use artifacts (files and content) that will guide you on exactly what to fix, how and where. Talk to us if you need practical help.

A set tailored to your scan — not a fixed checklist, so you get what your site actually needs. It's drawn from four groups: (1) Technical & crawler files — the robots.txt, llms.txt, AGENTS.md, sitemap, hreflang and security files that let AI find, read and trust you; (2) Structured data — the JSON-LD schema graph that tells engines exactly what you are; (3) Answer-shaped content — FAQ and answer-style pages (comparison, "best for", buyer's guide and more), plus the same piece translated into a second South African language; (4) Off-site & agent-commerce guidance — a prioritised list of the directories, review sites and communities AI cites in your category, a Google Business Profile checklist, and agent-commerce files for stores. Every pack also includes the plain-language step-by-step guide and your Client Dashboard. Some items only apply to certain sites — product feeds for online stores, for example — so we include what fits yours.

Yes — and it's one of the most important parts. Your own site is necessary but not sufficient: when an AI engine answers, it leans heavily on third-party sources — directories, review sites, communities like Reddit, local media. The Full Scan shows which sources AI actually cites in your category and where rivals appear that you don't; the Launch Pack turns that into a prioritised target list of the profiles and listings worth claiming, plus a Google Business Profile checklist for local businesses. We give you the targets and the how — you earn the listings. We never buy links, seed posts or place reviews: platforms and AI systems penalise it, and nobody can honestly promise a citation.

No. The Launch Pack gives you a plain-language, step-by-step user guide, plus all the artifacts and content you'll need — ready for your own in-house team to apply. No SEO specialist needed. And if you do use one, the pack makes their work a lot easier — just hand it over to them. Prefer hands-off? Talk to us.

No — we don't charge you twice. The Launch Pack already includes a Full Scan, so if you've bought one we credit it toward the Pack: R2,500 − R950 = R1,550. The credit is for the same site, used once, within 30 days of your Full Scan.

It's read-only and external — we use only your public URL, with no logins or access to your site. It flags malware and site-security signals, folded into your Trust & Security score.
