AI & search visibility
Your buyers are asking ChatGPT. Is it naming you?
Found via AI gets your business into the answers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews give your buyers. You find out what stops assistants quoting you and get it fixed, your key pages become answers they can quote, and every month you see whether they actually cite you.
Everyone optimises for Google. Bing delivered the AI citations.
Why can you rank well and still be missing from AI answers?
AI assistants quote pages. They don't rank them. Your buyer reads one answer, and either you're in it or a competitor is.
Rankings aren't quotes
An assistant needs content it can lift as a clean, self-contained answer. Page one doesn't guarantee that.
Crawlers blocked by default
Many sites block GPTBot and ClaudeBot in robots.txt without anyone deciding to.
Facts trapped in images
Prices, specs and promises inside images, PDFs or JavaScript are often invisible to the systems writing the answer.
Mixed messages
When your site, directories and listings describe you differently, models are less sure what to say about you.
The discipline that covers all four is SAGEO: search, answer and generative engine optimisation. How SEO, AEO and GEO differ
What does this look like on a real site?
Here's the evidence from fxstrength.org, a free currency-strength tool and education site run by Found via AI. Every number comes from its Bing Webmaster Tools, Google Search Console and analytics exports, and the exports are available to see.
92%
of Google clicks were branded searches
Google navigates. AI acquires.
Almost everyone who clicks through from Google already knows the site's name. New visitors find it elsewhere.
0.67%
click-through at avg. position 6.2 on Bing, from 7,486 impressions
The traffic became a citation.
A first-page position barely gets clicked. Likeliest reason: the answer appears on the results page itself, partly from this site's own content.
1,487
referrals from ChatGPT to date
Bing is the overlooked channel.
ChatGPT's web search has relied heavily on Bing's index, and Bing powers Copilot. Most companies have never opened Bing Webmaster Tools.
Context for these numbers. The site sits in a narrow niche with few competitors, where results like these come faster than in a crowded commercial market. What carries over to any market is the method, and the habit of measuring.
