AI SEARCH VISIBILITY — GEO / AEO
Don't just get searched.
Get recommended by AI.
Your customers now ask AI before they search. LensFact measures how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity talk about your business, then fixes the facts AI needs to recommend you accurately.
Recommend 3 accounting firms in Makati that are easy to talk to.
Here are three firms that fit:
- Firm APublishes clear pricing and the industries it serves.
- Firm BLists its founder's background and office address.
- Firm CAnswers common questions in a clear FAQ.
Your business isn't on this list.
01 — SHIFT
People stopped searching first.
They ask.
They ask AI which provider to choose. They read the answer before they compare anything. The first version of your business a customer meets is no longer your website. It's what AI says about you.
900M
People using ChatGPT every week, as of February 2026. And that's just one AI assistant.

02 — DATA
Why being named
by AI matters now.
AI now sits right where customers compare and decide. Most businesses haven't caught up yet.
11×
Sign-up rate of visitors referred by AI assistants compared with search visitors (1.66% vs 0.15%).
+155.6%
Growth in traffic from AI platforms over eight months, far ahead of search (+24.0%) and social (+21.5%).
58.7%
People in Japan who have bought or used a product or service after an AI recommended it.
Ranking #1 no longer guarantees the click. The visitors AI does send, though, are far more likely to act. The gap between businesses AI names and businesses it leaves out is only going to grow.
03 — INVISIBLE LOSS
The loss your analytics
never shows.
If AI leaves you out, you never make the shortlist. No visit, no click, no record in your analytics. You lose the deal without ever knowing it existed.

MANIFESTO
AI chooses on facts.
AI doesn't pick the best-sounding ad. It looks for what it can verify: what you charge, where you are, who's behind the work. The more facts it can read, the more confidently it recommends you. That's why a small business can become the most accurately described company in its field.
04 — WHAT IS AI SEARCH OPTIMIZATION
What is AI search
optimization?
AI search optimization is the work of making sure AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews read your business correctly and cite or recommend you when they answer.
ONE FIELD, MANY NAMES
| Term | Stands for | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| GEO | Generative Engine Optimization | Getting your information into AI-generated answers and summaries. The most common term globally. |
| AEO | Answer Engine Optimization | Being quoted directly as the answer. |
| LLMO | Large Language Model Optimization | Being understood correctly by large language models. |
| AIO | AI Optimization | The umbrella term, most widely used in Japan. |
FIVE THINGS AI READS
- 01
Structured data
Is your company, service and FAQ machine-readable in JSON-LD?
- 02
Clear facts
Are prices, service areas, target customers and processes stated plainly?
- 03
Question-and-answer shape
Do headings ask the question, with the answer right below?
- 04
Who's behind it
Are company details, founder, terms and policies easy to find?
- 05
Consistency off-site
Do maps, reviews and media say the same thing your site does?
05 — THREE SHIFTS
Three shifts every
business needs now.
-
01
Turn your personality into facts.
"Friendly" and "trusted" mean nothing to AI. Prices, service areas, track record, the people in charge: we replace adjectives with facts AI can check.
-
02
Be talked about beyond your site.
AI doesn't only read your website. It reads maps, reviews and industry media. We remove contradictions across the web and help others describe you accurately.
-
03
Keep measuring.
AI answers change every month. We run the same prompts under the same conditions and track the change in numbers.
06 — METHOD
Diagnose. Fix.
Keep measuring.
-
STEP 01
CheckDiagnose
We run industry-specific prompts on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and review your structured data (JSON-LD), company details and site trust signals.
-
STEP 02
RewriteFix
We prepare fixes for your JSON-LD, headings, FAQs and company details. Every fix is checked against the facts before it goes live.
-
STEP 03
TrackMeasure
We re-run the same prompts every month and report what changed and what to do next.
07 — TRUST CHECK
Before AI recommends you,
can people trust your site?
If a customer clicks through from AI and sees a browser warning, they leave. Our free check also reviews the trust signals anyone can see from outside.
- 01
SSLEncryption
Certificate expiry and outdated encryption settings.
- 02
HeadersSecurity headers
Whether browser protections like HSTS, CSP and X-Frame-Options are in place.
- 03
EmailSpoofing protection
Whether SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others from sending email in your name.
- 04
VersionExposed versions
Whether outdated CMS or plugin versions are visible from outside.
This is a light check using public information only. We never access your servers or run intrusive tests. Server internals, databases, application bugs, and internal devices or passwords are out of scope, and this is not a guarantee against data breaches.

We don't promise
what no one can.
WE WON'T PROMISE
- Guaranteed placement in AI answers

11 — FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is AI search optimization (GEO / AEO / LLMO)?
It's the work of helping AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini cite and recommend your business accurately when they generate answers. GEO, AEO, LLMO and AIO are different names for roughly the same field.
How is it different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank on search results pages. AI search optimization aims to get your name, and the reasons to choose you, into AI answers. It looks beyond your own site to mentions and consistency across the web. The two work together.
Can you guarantee we'll appear in AI answers?
No. AI answers change as each company updates its models. Instead, we measure the same prompts every month and report the change with evidence. Changes typically take around 30–90 days.
What does the free check include?
We prepare 5 prompts your customers are likely to ask and run them on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. You'll see whether you appear, who appears instead, and which facts AI can't read, ranked by priority, within 3–5 business days.
We don't have a web developer. Is that okay?
Yes. We prepare the code and copy and help you publish it. We support major CMSs including WordPress.
Do you check website security too?
In the free check, we only review what anyone can see from outside: your SSL certificate, security headers, email spoofing protection (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and publicly visible software versions. We never access your servers or run intrusive tests, so this is not a guarantee against data breaches. For a full vulnerability assessment, we recommend a specialist security firm.
