Choose your AI visibility data source
We recommend Profound as the primary source for AI visibility data. Custom plans offer alternative providers, or the option to combine multiple sources for a broader reporting view.
Data is shown directly where supported. Where a source does not allow raw data to be surfaced in-platform, clients are linked through to the original source.
AI search visibility, measured and improved
Tilio tracks where your brand appears across ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews and other AI search experiences, then improves the pages, signals and sources most likely to influence visibility.
If competitors are being recommended and your brand is missing, unclear or poorly cited, we help you understand why and what to do next.
Why it matters
AI search is changing how buyers find brands
More buyers are using AI tools before they visit a website, fill in a form or speak to a sales team.
The answer they get can shape who makes the shortlist.
That is why AI search visibility now matters. Your brand needs to be easy for AI systems to find, understand, compare and cite.
Agency role
What an AI search agency does
An AI search agency helps your brand become more visible and better represented across AI-led search journeys.
That includes improving how your business appears in:
- ChatGPT
- Perplexity
- Google AI Overviews
- Google AI Mode
- Gemini
- Claude
- Microsoft Copilot
- other answer-led search experiences
At Tilio, we focus on the commercial questions that influence discovery, comparison and enquiry.
We look at whether your brand is being mentioned, whether your pages are being cited, how competitors are appearing, and which content or technical issues may be holding visibility back.
Improvement areas
What we help you improve
AI search work is not only about getting mentioned. It is also about how clearly, fairly and credibly your brand is represented.
Being mentioned
We track whether your brand appears for agreed buyer-intent prompts and commercial topics.
Being cited
We review whether AI search platforms are using your website, content or third-party sources as supporting evidence.
Being described accurately
We check whether your services, positioning, locations, claims and areas of expertise are being summarised clearly.
Being compared fairly
We analyse how your brand appears against competitors, especially in recommendation, alternative and comparison-style searches.
Being easier to trust
We improve the pages and signals that help AI systems understand why your brand is relevant, credible and worth including.
How Tilio improves AI search visibility
Our work combines AI visibility tracking, technical SEO, content improvement, entity clarity and reporting. Each campaign is shaped around your market, your competitors and the searches that matter commercially.
Measure where you appear now
We build a prompt set around your services, buyers, locations, competitors and decision-stage searches. This gives you a baseline across the AI search platforms that matter most. If you need a defined starting point before ongoing work, start with an AI visibility audit.
Find the gaps
We look at where your brand is missing, where competitors are being recommended, which sources are being cited, and whether your own pages are clear enough to support AI-generated answers. This includes reviewing technical foundations, site structure, internal linking, page quality and source clarity. You can read more about our approach to reporting on how we measure AI visibility.
Improve the pages that matter
We improve the commercial pages most likely to shape how AI search systems understand your business. That may include service pages, product pages, pricing pages, comparison pages, alternatives pages, location pages, FAQs and source-of-truth content. For focused page-level work, see our AI search content sprint.
Strengthen trust signals
AI search visibility is influenced by more than your own website. We help improve the wider signals that support your brand: clearer entity information, stronger evidence, better content relationships, third-party corroboration and more consistent descriptions across the web.
Report what changed
You get clear reporting on visibility, mentions, citations, competitor movement, description quality and next actions. The goal is to turn AI search data into practical work your team can understand and act on.
Why agency support
Why work with an AI search agency?
AI search is still close to SEO, but the measurement is different.
Traditional SEO tells you where pages rank and how much organic traffic they receive. AI search analysis shows whether your brand appears inside generated answers, whether your pages are cited, and how your business is framed when buyers ask AI tools for help.
That means the work needs to answer different questions:
- Which prompts trigger your brand?
- Which prompts trigger competitors?
- Which sources are AI systems relying on?
- Are your commercial pages clear enough to cite?
- Is your positioning being repeated accurately?
- Which topics need stronger evidence?
- Where should your team focus next?
Tilio helps you answer those questions, then improves the website and content signals behind them.

Terminology
AI search agency vs AEO agency
AI search and AEO are closely connected, but they are not always searched for in the same way.
An AEO agency usually focuses on answer engine optimisation: improving how brands are included, cited and recommended in AI-generated answers.
An AI search agency covers that work too, but the framing is broader. It reflects the way buyers now use search across traditional results, AI Overviews, conversational tools and citation-led engines.
In practice, most brands need both:
- stronger search foundations
- clearer commercial content
- better AI visibility measurement
- stronger citation signals
- improved brand and entity clarity
- reporting that connects visibility to action
Tilio brings those parts together into one managed programme.

Measurement
What we track
We measure AI search visibility across agreed prompts, topics and platforms.
That can include:
- brand mentions
- citation rate
- cited pages
- competitor presence
- share of voice
- answer quality
- description accuracy
- topic-level visibility
- movement over time
- traffic and conversions where tracking is available
We do not treat one score as the whole story. AI search is too variable for that.
Instead, we use structured prompt sets, repeated measurement and clear reporting so you can see where visibility is improving and where work is still needed.
Page priorities
Pages that matter for AI search
AI search platforms often rely on pages that explain things clearly.
The pages most likely to matter include:
- service pages
- product pages
- category pages
- pricing pages
- comparison pages
- alternatives pages
- location pages
- FAQs
- case studies
- review or evidence pages
- about pages
- author and expert pages
- source-of-truth pages for important claims
We review which pages are most likely to influence AI-generated answers about your brand, then improve them for clarity, structure, evidence and citation quality.

FAQs
What is an AI search agency?+
An AI search agency helps brands improve how they appear across AI-led search platforms such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Claude.
The work usually includes AI visibility tracking, competitor benchmarking, citation analysis, content improvement, technical SEO and reporting.
What is AI search optimisation?+
AI search optimisation is the process of improving how easily AI systems can find, understand, cite and recommend your brand.
It focuses on the signals that influence AI-generated answers, including content clarity, technical accessibility, source quality, entity information, authority and evidence.
Is AI search optimisation the same as SEO?+
No, but they overlap.
SEO focuses on improving visibility in traditional search results. AI search optimisation focuses on whether your brand appears inside AI-generated answers, how it is described, and which sources are cited.
Strong SEO foundations often support AI search visibility, but AI search needs its own measurement and improvement plan.
Is AI search the same as AEO?+
AI search is the broader environment. AEO, or answer engine optimisation, is the practice of improving visibility inside answer-led systems.
Many businesses use both terms because they are trying to solve the same problem: being found, cited and recommended when buyers use AI to search.
Can you optimise for ChatGPT?+
Yes. No agency can control exactly what ChatGPT says, but we can improve the signals that influence how your brand is understood and represented.
That includes clearer content, stronger source pages, better entity signals and more consistent supporting evidence.
Can you optimise for Claude?+
Yes. No agency can control exactly how Claude summarises or recommends brands, but we can improve the signals that help Claude understand your business more clearly.
That includes clearer service pages, stronger source-of-truth content, better entity information, and more consistent evidence across your website and supporting sources.
Can you optimise for Google AI Overviews?+
Yes. We improve the content, structure and trust signals that may influence whether your pages are selected, summarised or cited in Google AI Overviews.
This work often overlaps with strong SEO, but the reporting and priorities are shaped around AI-generated answers.
How do you measure AI search visibility?+
We use agreed prompt sets grouped by topic and intent.
Reporting can include brand mentions, citations, cited pages, competitor presence, answer quality, description accuracy and movement over time.
You can read the full methodology on our how we measure AI visibility page.
How long does AI search optimisation take?+
It depends on your starting point, your sector and the strength of your existing content and authority.
Most brands should expect AI search work to build over time. The first step is usually a baseline, followed by technical, content and authority improvements.
How much does AI search agency support cost?+
Tilio's Core plan starts from £499 per month. You can view current options on our pricing page.
