Question 1

What is AI Search Optimization (AISO)?

Accepted Answer

AI Search Optimization (AISO) is the practice of optimizing your website and content to appear in AI-powered search platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on Google rankings, AISO ensures your brand gets cited and recommended when users ask AI assistants questions related to your industry. This includes optimizing content structure, implementing schema markup, creating quotable statements, and building authority signals that AI models use to determine which brands to cite.

Question 2

Why is AI search visibility important for my business?

Accepted Answer

Over 25% of all searches now happen through AI platforms, and this number is growing rapidly. When users ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for product recommendations, the AI cites specific brands. If your competitors are being mentioned and you're not, you're losing potential customers. AI visibility directly impacts brand awareness, trust, and ultimately sales in the new AI-first search landscape. Unlike traditional search where you can rank on page 2, in AI search you either get mentioned or you don't exist.

Question 3

How does Reaudit track AI search visibility?

Accepted Answer

Reaudit monitors your brand mentions across 9+ major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Copilot, Meta AI, Mistral, and Grok. We track how often your brand is cited, in what context, and compare your visibility against competitors. Our dashboard provides real-time insights into your AI discoverability score and shows exactly which prompts trigger mentions of your brand. You can see trends over time, identify opportunities, and measure the impact of your optimization efforts.

Question 4

What makes content "AI-friendly" or optimized for AI search?

Accepted Answer

AI-friendly content is structured, factual, and quotable. It includes clear definitions, statistics with citations, well-organized headings, FAQ sections, and schema markup. AI models prefer content that directly answers questions, includes authoritative sources, and presents information in a format that's easy to extract and cite. Key elements include: answer-first content structure (40-60 word summaries), semantic HTML with proper heading hierarchy, comprehensive schema markup (Article, FAQ, Organization schemas), and authoritative citations with data points.

Question 5

How long does it take to see results from AI search optimization?

Accepted Answer

Results vary depending on your starting point and industry competitiveness. Some brands see improved AI citations within 2-4 weeks of implementing our recommendations. Significant visibility improvements typically occur within 1-3 months. Unlike traditional SEO which can take 6+ months, AI search optimization often shows faster results because AI models update their knowledge more frequently. Quick wins include adding schema markup to existing content, creating FAQ pages, and optimizing existing high-quality content with answer-first structure.

Question 6

What is an llms.txt file and why do I need one?

Accepted Answer

An llms.txt file is similar to robots.txt but specifically designed for AI crawlers and large language models. It helps AI systems understand your website's structure, key information, and how you want your brand to be represented. Having a well-crafted llms.txt file can significantly improve how AI platforms interpret and cite your content. It allows you to provide context about your business, highlight important pages, and guide AI crawlers to your most authoritative content.

Question 7

How is AI search different from traditional Google search?

Accepted Answer

Traditional search shows a list of links for users to click. AI search provides direct answers, often citing sources inline. In AI search, you either get mentioned or you don't—there's no "page 2". AI models synthesize information from multiple sources and recommend specific brands based on authority, relevance, and content quality. This makes AI visibility a winner-take-most game where being cited matters more than ranking positions. The brands that AI trusts become the default recommendations for millions of users.

Question 8

Which AI platforms does Reaudit support?

Accepted Answer

Reaudit tracks visibility across all major AI search platforms: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, DeepSeek, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI, Mistral AI, and Grok (xAI). We continuously add new platforms as the AI search landscape evolves to ensure comprehensive coverage of where your customers are searching. Each platform has unique characteristics, but our optimization recommendations apply across all of them.

Question 9

How do I get started with Reaudit?

Accepted Answer

Getting started is simple: book a call with our founder to discuss your AI visibility goals, and we'll set up your dashboard with your brand and competitors. You'll immediately see your current AI visibility score, where you're being mentioned, and get actionable recommendations to improve.

Question 10

What ROI can I expect from AI search optimization?

Accepted Answer

The ROI from AI search optimization varies by industry, but brands we work with typically see 40-150% increases in AI visibility within 3 months. This translates to increased brand awareness, higher quality traffic from AI referrals, and improved conversion rates as AI-referred visitors tend to have higher intent. As AI search continues to grow (projected to handle 50%+ of searches by 2027), early optimization creates compounding advantages over competitors who haven't adapted.
