AI Visibility
99.7% of businesses are invisible to AI citation engines. Here's why—and how we fix it.
The Problem
In 2026, AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini have become the primary way people discover businesses and services.
When someone asks an AI "Who should I hire for X?" or "What's the best solution for Y?", the AI needs to understand and trust your business to recommend you.
The reality: Most businesses are invisible to these AI systems.
Market Reality (2026)
- 📊 1.34 billion total websites
- 📊 ~200 million active business sites
- 📊 0.3% are AI-optimized (~600K sites)
- 📊 99.7% are invisible to LLM citation (~199.4M sites)
Why Traditional SEO Doesn't Work
SEO was built for search engines (Google, Bing). AI systems work differently:
| Search Engines | AI Systems |
|---|---|
| Index keywords | Parse meaning |
| Rank by links | Trust by authority |
| Return 10 blue links | Synthesize one answer |
| User chooses | AI chooses |
If AI can't parse your site correctly, it won't recommend you—even if you rank #1 in Google.
