When someone asks ChatGPT for a business like yours, are you the answer?
Customers stopped scrolling ten blue links. They ask an AI assistant and get two or three recommendations back. If your business isn't one of them, you're invisible at the exact moment someone was ready to buy.
We built the scoreboard. Then we ran it on ourselves.
Before we sold this to anyone, we pointed our own tracker at Elliott's AI. It asks the AI engines the questions a prospect would actually type, on a weekly cadence, and records exactly who gets recommended and which websites the engines trust enough to cite. We run the same scoreboard for you.
In our first scan, we logged 30 AI answers across Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and more. The engines cited YouTube, Reddit, and business directories as their sources, and when they named a business by name, it was one of our competitors, not us. That's the same blind spot most small businesses have, and most don't know it, because nobody watches AI answers the way they watch Google Analytics.
Measure. Fix. Report.
Measure
We run a baseline scan asking the AI engines the questions your customers actually type. You get a per-engine scoreboard in your dashboard: who's mentioned, who's cited, who's invisible.
Fix
We build direct-answer pages on your site, add an llms.txt file and schema markup the engines can parse, and get you listed on the exact sites those engines already cite for your niche, plus your Google Business Profile.
Report
Weekly automated re-checks track movement, and once a month you get a plain-English report: “ChatGPT now recommends you for 3 of your 8 questions, up from 0.”
Two ways to get started.
No long-term contract. A setup fee builds the baseline scan and the fixes; the monthly retainer keeps the weekly checks and reports running.
- Baseline scan across 5 AI engines
- Direct-answer pages, schema, and llms.txt shipped to your existing site
- Weekly re-checks, monthly plain-English report
- Baseline scan across 5 AI engines
- Direct-answer pages, schema, and llms.txt built and coordinated with your webmaster
- Listings on the sites AI engines cite for your niche, plus Google Business Profile

Questions worth asking before you hire anyone for this.
How long until we see results?
Search engines index new pages in 1 to 2 weeks. AI engines are slower and less predictable: most changes get picked up somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks, and specific, local queries move fastest because there's less competition for the AI to choose from. There are no guarantees. Anyone promising you a #1 AI ranking is lying, because these engines don't publish a ranking algorithm and their answers can change from query to query.
What's the difference between AEO/GEO and SEO?
SEO gets your page to rank in a list of ten blue links. AEO and GEO (Answer Engine Optimization and Generative Engine Optimization) get your business named directly inside an AI-generated answer, where there's no list, just two or three names. The mechanics overlap (schema, clear content, credible sources), but the target is different: a search engine ranks pages, an AI engine picks winners.
Do I need a new website?
No, the standalone plan works with the site you have. But here's the honest edge: AI engines read our sites better than most, because every page we build is structured for machines from day one, direct answers, schema, llms.txt, clean markup. As more of your customers ask an AI instead of scrolling Google, that foundation stops being optional. Start standalone today; when you're ready, an Elliott's AI rebuild makes the whole site speak AI natively, and your setup fee credits toward it.
How do I know it's actually working?
Your dashboard shows the same scoreboard we use internally: which AI engines mention you, for which questions, and which sites they're citing instead of you. Every month you get a plain-English report, and you can read the actual AI answers we tested, not just a score.
Which AI engines do you check?
We check Perplexity, ChatGPT web search, Google AI Overviews, and GLM every week, plus a model-memory baseline check that has no live web access, for comparison. We add new engines to the panel as they become worth tracking.
