Ashikur Rahman, SEO and AI Search Specialist
Since AI answers started replacing search clicks, much of my work has been making businesses visible in them: opening sites to AI crawlers, fixing how brands are described, and testing what ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini actually say.
My law degrees (LLB, LLM in International Law) taught me to go to the primary source. In AI search that means each vendor's own crawler documentation and what your server actually sends, long before any visibility score.
One person runs the whole loop: I test your prompts, change your robots.txt, rewrite the pages, build the citations and rerun the tests. Nothing is lost between a strategist and a developer.
Check who you are hiring
AI answers, decoded
Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini the question your buyers ask, and the answer says a lot about your site. Pick the answer you are getting to see why it happens and how it gets fixed.
Pick what you see
Seen when you ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Mode.
What it means
The answer covers your service and lists other businesses. Usually the engine has too little to go on: its crawler struggles to read your site, or few sources it trusts mention you.
What I do about it
Open your site to the crawlers that feed AI search, make your pages say plainly what you do and where, and build mentions in the sources the answers already cite.
Getting this answer about you?
Seen when you ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Mode.
What it means
Old prices, the wrong location, services you stopped offering. AI answers repeat what they find, and outdated pages, directory listings or old articles are often the source.
What I do about it
Trace where each wrong fact comes from, correct it on your site and on the listings you control, and make the current facts consistent everywhere.
Getting this answer about you?
Seen when you ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Mode.
What it means
The engine cannot match your name to a clear business. Common causes: a name shared with others, a thin About page, or no consistent profiles confirming who you are.
What I do about it
Give your business a clear identity: an About page with real details, Organization and Person markup with sameAs links, and profiles that match.
Getting this answer about you?
Seen when you ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Mode.
What it means
The answer names businesses like yours and links their pages or directory profiles. They usually have pages that answer the question directly, or more mentions in places the engine trusts.
What I do about it
Compare the cited pages with yours, write the pages that answer those questions, and target the directories and publications the answers keep citing.
Getting this answer about you?
Seen in your robots.txt and server responses, or with the free checker above.
What it means
Your robots.txt, firewall or CDN turns away crawlers such as OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot or ClaudeBot. Some Cloudflare settings do this by default, so many owners never know.
What I do about it
Test what each crawler actually receives from your server, then change the rules so the ones you want get through. The free checker above tests this on your homepage.
Getting this answer about you?
Seen in your page source, or with the free checker above.
What it means
Many AI crawlers read the raw HTML and do not run JavaScript. If your content loads only in the browser, they may see an almost empty page.
What I do about it
Check the raw HTML of your key pages and move the important text into it, through server rendering or pre-rendering.
Getting this answer about you?
Seen when you ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Mode.
What it means
The answer cites an old URL that now returns an error or redirects somewhere unrelated, so the visitor lands nowhere useful.
What I do about it
Redirect old URLs to the closest current page, and update the sources that still point to them.
Getting this answer about you?
Seen when you ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Mode.
What it means
For general questions, AI answers often explain the topic without naming anyone. That is normal and says nothing bad about your site.
What I do about it
Nothing for that question. I focus tracking on the specific questions buyers ask just before they choose someone.
What gets tested
Tools count mentions. The audit finds why the answers look the way they do, from crawler access to the sources the engines trust, so every fix is aimed at a cause.
If an engine's crawler cannot fetch your pages, nothing else matters for that engine.
Many AI crawlers read only the raw HTML, so text added by JavaScript can be missed.
Answers name businesses they can identify with confidence.
AI answers lift clear, specific passages from pages.
AI answers lean heavily on what others say about you.
The baseline: what the engines actually say now.
AI visibility report
Within 5 business days: what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI say about you today, and what to change first.
How AI answers see your business now, the biggest gap and the first moves.
The buyer questions I tested in each engine, whether you were named, and which sources were cited instead.
What each AI crawler received from your server, and which rules or settings blocked it.
Wrong or missing facts about you, where they come from, and the sources competitors are cited from.
Popular AI visibility tips that would change nothing for your site, such as treating llms.txt as a ranking fix.
Citation sprint
On-site fixes and citation building from the report, then your prompts rerun to show what moved.
robots.txt, firewall and CDN settings changed so the crawlers you want reach your pages, then tested again.
Key text moved into the raw HTML where your stack allows, so your pages no longer look empty to crawlers.
Organization and Person markup with consistent sameAs links, and an About page that states clearly who you are.
Priority pages reworked so the answer to each buyer question is stated plainly near the top.
Your listings created or corrected on the directories AI answers cite for your service, with the same details everywhere, plus a plan for publications worth pitching.
Your buyer prompts recorded with today's answers, ready to rerun so every change is visible.
From prompt to citation
Each stage ends with something you can see: a baseline, a report, then your prompts rerun.
Day one
You tell me your services, your area and the competitors you lose to. For a sprint you also give me access to the site or its code.
Days one to three
I run your buyer prompts in each engine, test what every AI crawler receives from your server and map the sources that get cited.
By day five
The AI visibility report arrives with your prompt baseline, and I answer questions about it for a week.
Optional, 2 weeks
I make the on-site fixes, start the outside-source work and rerun your prompts so you can see what changed.

Who it suits
If one of these sounds like you, the audit shows exactly why AI answers pass you over, and the sprint fixes it.
Every finding backed by what a crawler actually received or what an engine actually answered.
Your prompts rerun after the work, side by side with the baseline, so you see exactly what changed.
No spam lists, fake reviews or tricks that get a brand dropped from answers later.
I change nothing without your OK, I log every change, and you can stop whenever you like.
My promise
I make your business easy for AI engines to reach, understand and trust, and I show you the before and after. Which sources an answer cites is the engine's decision, and engines favour businesses that are clear, consistent and well referenced. That is exactly the work I do.
Not sure? Send me the prompts you care about and I will tell you honestly.
No website yet
AI answers need something to cite. Start with a site and a few profiles, then this work pays off.
Paid placement plans
Buying spots on spam lists or posting fake reviews can get a brand dropped. I build citations that hold up.
A brand-new business name
Engines need time and sources to learn a new name. The work still helps; expect a longer runway.
GEO questions
What business owners ask before trusting someone with their AI visibility.
It overlaps a lot. SEO is about ranking in search results. GEO is about being one of the sources an AI answer draws on and names. Both need a site crawlers can reach and understand, so the technical work is shared and the content and outside-source work differs.
That is what every fix works towards. I remove the reasons you are skipped and build the signals engines rely on: crawler access, a clear identity and mentions in sources they trust. Which sources an answer uses is the engine's call, so I track your prompts before and after and show you exactly what changed.
With a fixed list of prompts your buyers would ask, run in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI features. I record whether you are named, how you are described and which sources are cited instead, then rerun the same list after the work.
It depends on the engine. Answers that search the web live, such as Perplexity or ChatGPT with search, can reflect fixes within weeks of a recrawl. What a model learned in training changes only when it is retrained. I track both kinds of prompt so you can see the difference.
That is a business choice, and the audit shows the trade-off. GPTBot collects training data, while OAI-SearchBot is what surfaces sites in ChatGPT search, and they are controlled separately. Blocking the search crawlers is what costs visibility.
Google says no special markup is needed for AI Overviews or AI Mode. Markup still helps confirm who you are, especially Organization and Person with sameAs links, so I add what is accurate, not as a shortcut.
Google says its search ignores llms.txt, and no major AI search vendor has documented using it. It is cheap and harmless, so I add it when it helps tools read your documentation, not as a visibility fix.
Yes. Many AI answers cite directories, review sites and publications, so I build citations for you: I create or correct your listings on the sites that matter for your service, keep your details consistent across them, and plan which publications are worth pitching.
Goes well with GEO
GEO makes you findable; AEO shapes the answers engines quote from your pages.
AI search leans on the same crawl and index foundations as Google.
For local businesses, Maps reviews and citations feed AI answers too.
