Google gives you hundreds of results. AI gives about three answers.
If your business is not one of them, you are invisible, or AI gets you wrong. AISearch Global is a Sydney consultancy for AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation). Doing both well also covers your SEO.
No email needed for the free check. It scores how readable your site is to AI. The paid audit then tests ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and Google AI Overviews. Take the journey →
The problem
AI leaves you out, or describes you wrongly.
People now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok or Google AI Overviews who to trust in your field, and they take the answer. One of two things happens. Both cost you customers, and you cannot see either one unless you check.
Left out
Your business is not mentioned. The three names AI gives are your competitors.
Described wrongly
AI names you but gets the facts wrong: what you do, where you work, what you charge.
SEO, AEO and GEO
Three ways to be found. One foundation.
They share the same base: crawl access, useful answers and accurate facts. What changes is what you measure.
| Discipline | What it targets | Where you show up | What it measures | How we cover it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEO | Search engine rankings | Lists of links on Google and Bing | Rankings, clicks and traffic | Covered when AEO and GEO are done well |
| AEO | Direct answers from answer engines | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and Google AI Overviews | Whether you are named, and described correctly, in dated checks | AI Visibility Audit and a prioritised fix list |
| GEO | How generative AI describes and cites sources | Written AI summaries and recommendations | Whether AI can read, quote and cite your content | Clear entity facts, answer-format content and schema |
| AEO + GEO done well = SEO covered. | ||||

Research
Our Two-Clock Model working paper on SSRN measures how AI systems come to cite a business. We measure; we don’t guess. Read the paper →
We test it on ourselves (Client Zero)
On 2 August 2026 our own site scored 100/100 for structure and was cited in 16.0% of the AI answers we tracked that day (ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews). Structure and visibility are different things, and we say so. Re-measured quarterly. See the numbers →
We publish what didn’t work
Every check is dated. Every case study shows the misses as well as the gains. Nobody is promised a mention, because nobody can promise one.

Common Questions
What founders ask before booking
What is an AEO audit?
An AEO audit checks whether AI answer tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and Google AI Overviews can find, read and trust your website. You get checked findings and a prioritised fix list you can follow yourself, plus a 30-day recheck. It helps remove the technical reasons you might be skipped; it cannot guarantee a mention.
How much does an AEO audit cost?
The AEO audit is a one-off A$1,500 AUD, with no GST and no retainer for the audit. It includes a free 20-minute intro call, a checked audit delivered within 5 to 7 business days, a results call, and a 30-day recheck. Done-with-you days and monthly SMB plans are priced separately. You can start with the free toolkit check first.
What if AI describes my business wrongly?
We record exactly what each AI tool says, with the date, and compare it with what your site and other sources say. The fix list targets the causes we can influence, such as unclear pages and missing structured data. We cannot control what an AI system chooses to say, and nobody can.
Can you check how AI repeats our sustainability or emissions claims?
If you publish sustainability or emissions claims, AI answers can repeat them wrongly or leave out the caveats. We check what AI says about those claims against what you actually publish. This is a check on accuracy, not legal advice. The ACCC published guidance on making emissions claims to consumers in October 2026. Read the ACCC release.
Is the free check really free?
Yes. The Free AEO Toolkit runs nine checks on your website address and needs no email. It scores how readable your site is to AI tools, but it does not ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok or Google AI Overviews whether they mention you. The paid audit tests those five tools.
Who is the audit for?
Solo founders who build and run their own business, often using AI tools. The audit and its DIY instructions are written for that - not for a marketing team.
What’s included in the one-off price?
$1,500 AUD covers the full audit, a free 20-minute intro call, a 30-minute result call with 3 email exchanges within 2 weeks, and a 30-day recheck call. The audit has no ongoing tracking after that; monthly tracking is part of our SMB plans. No GST is added (AISearch Global is not registered for GST).
Does the audit include implementation?
No. The audit gives you DIY instructions you can action yourself with your AI builder. If you’d rather hand off a fix, that’s Day hire, from $1,200 - see Day hire.
How long does delivery take?
5-7 business days from your intro call to your audit landing in your inbox. Any visibility change after that depends on what you implement and when AI platforms next update - that part is outside our control.
