Getting Started

What is OptiVisAI? +

OptiVisAI is a comprehensive AI findability and optimization service for small and medium-sized businesses.

We help you get found by AI systems like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and other generative AI platforms. As millions of people increasingly turn to AI for recommendations and information, having a strong AI presence is critical for business success.

Think of us as your AI visibility experts - we ensure that when potential customers ask AI systems about services in your area, your business shows up prominently in the responses.

What is the difference between SEO, GEO, and AEO? +
  • SEO (Search Engine Optimization): Traditional optimization for search engines like Google. Focuses on ranking in search results when people type queries.
  • GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): Optimization specifically for generative AI platforms. Ensures AI systems recommend your business when users ask for suggestions.
  • AEO (AI Engine Optimization): Broader term encompassing all AI-powered systems, including chatbots, voice assistants, and recommendation engines.
Why it matters: As AI adoption grows, more customers are asking "ChatGPT, recommend an optometrist in Fargo" instead of searching Google. GEO/AEO ensures you're the one recommended!
Why do I need AI visibility optimization? +

The way people find businesses is fundamentally changing.

Recent studies show:

  • Over 30% of internet users now regularly use AI chatbots for recommendations
  • AI-generated recommendations have a 67% higher conversion rate than traditional search
  • Businesses mentioned prominently by AI see an average 45% increase in qualified leads
  • By 2026, analysts predict 60% of discovery will happen through AI interfaces

If your business isn't optimized for AI visibility, you're essentially invisible to a rapidly growing segment of potential customers.

Who is OptiVisAI for? +

OptiVisAI is ideal for:

  • Local service businesses: Restaurants, optometrists, plumbers, salons, law firms, dental offices
  • Professional services: Consultants, accountants, real estate agents, insurance agencies
  • E-commerce businesses: Online retailers looking to be recommended by AI shopping assistants
  • B2B companies: Software providers, agencies, and service providers targeting business clients

Essentially, if customers might ask an AI for recommendations in your industry, OptiVisAI can help you dominate that conversation.

How OptiVisAI Works

How does OptiVisAI work? +

Our comprehensive 4-step process:

  1. AI Testing: We systematically test major AI platforms (depending on your package) with queries relevant to your business and location.
  2. Performance Analysis: We track your mention rate, position in responses, quality of mentions, and compare against competitors.
  3. Strategic Optimization: Based on data, we optimize your online presence, citations, content, and structured data to improve AI recommendations as well as targeted training depending on the model.
  4. Ongoing Monitoring: We continuously test and refine your AI visibility, providing regular reports and adjusting strategies as needed.
Our proprietary PPS (Prominence Positioning Score) system quantifies exactly how well you're performing in AI recommendations, giving you clear metrics and ROI visibility.
Which AI platforms do you test? +

We test the major AI platforms that consumers actually use:

  • OpenAI ChatGPT: The most widely-used AI chatbot with over 200M users
  • Google Gemini: Google's AI integrated into search and Android devices
  • Anthropic Claude: Rapidly growing AI with strong reasoning capabilities
  • Meta AI / Groq: Emerging platforms with significant user bases

Different packages include different numbers of platforms. Enterprise clients get testing on all major platforms.

What is the PPS (Prominence Positioning Score)? +

Our proprietary scoring system that quantifies your AI visibility.

PPS scores range from 0-100 and factor in:

  • Mention Rate: How often you're mentioned (0-30 points)
  • Position: Where you appear in AI responses (0-30 points)
  • Quality: Completeness of your business information (0-25 points)
  • Context: Relevance and accuracy of mentions (0-15 points)

A PPS score above 70 indicates strong AI visibility. Most businesses start between 15-35 before optimization.

Do you track my competitors? +

Yes! Competitor tracking is included in all packages.

We monitor:

  • How often competitors are mentioned vs. you
  • Their positioning in AI responses
  • Changes in their AI visibility over time
  • Market share analysis across AI platforms

This intelligence helps you understand your competitive position and identify opportunities to gain market share in AI recommendations.

How long does it take to see results? +

Most clients see measurable improvements within 30-60 days.

Typical Timeline:

  • Week 1-2: Initial audit and baseline testing complete
  • Week 3-4: Optimization implementation begins
  • Week 5-8: Initial improvements visible (10-20% increase in mentions)
  • Month 3+: Significant gains achieved (30-60% improvement in PPS scores)

Results vary based on your starting position, competition level, and industry. Some competitive markets may take 90-120 days for optimal positioning.
