45-Day Strategic Diagnostic For Enterprise Brands

Your Brand Is Invisible
In AI Search.

AI-powered search is recommending your competitors to customers who should be finding you. Our diagnostic reveals exactly where you're losing visibility and how to improve it.

How the 45-day diagnostic works

Four phases. One outcome. You walk away knowing exactly where AI search is costing you and what to do about it.

1

Week 1–2: Baseline visibility audit

We run 50 to 100 queries across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Each query is tested multiple times per platform, so we capture the variance in how AI models actually recommend. Output: your share of memory across priority query sets, platform-by-platform breakdown, and the first read on whether you are visible at all.

2

Week 3–4: Competitive benchmarking and citation analysis

We map the 5 to 10 competitors AI actually recommends alongside you or instead of you. These are not always the competitors your leadership thinks about. Then we trace the citations: Reddit threads, review sites, publisher articles, vendor directories. This is where most recommendations originate and where most brands have no footprint.

3

Week 5–6: Revenue impact modelling

We quantify what AI invisibility is already costing you. This uses your GA4 and Search Console data plus share-of-memory gaps to estimate pipeline at risk. Not a directional estimate. A specific number you can take to a CFO.

4

Week 7: Executive presentation and 90-day roadmap

A 60-minute session with your leadership team walking through the findings and the specific fixes, sequenced by expected impact. You leave with a prioritised roadmap and the evidence to defend the investment internally.

What the diagnostic usually finds

Three patterns we see in almost every enterprise brand we assess.

The citation gap is bigger than the content gap

Most brands we audit are publishing more content than their competitors and ranking well in traditional search. The problem is citations. AI models cite Reddit, review sites, and publisher articles far more than they cite brand websites. Brands that never earned third-party authority signals are invisible in AI answers, regardless of how strong their SEO is.

The competitor set inside AI is not the one in the pitch deck

When we ask AI platforms to recommend options in a category, the competitive set that appears is often different from the competitors your marketing team tracks. Newer entrants, direct-to-consumer brands, and international players consistently surface. If your strategy is built around a competitor list that AI does not share, your positioning is already out of sync.

Recommendation rate is the metric that matters, not mention rate

Being mentioned in an AI answer and being recommended are different outcomes. A brand can appear frequently in AI responses while almost never being the answer to "which one should I choose." We separate the two in every diagnostic because only the recommendation rate correlates to pipeline.

Common Questions

What kind of data access do you need?

Read-only access to Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, and your paid ad platforms. We also ask for a list of your 10 most strategically important queries or topic areas. All data is handled under NDA and destroyed on request after the engagement. We do not connect live systems to third-party tools.

Why is my brand not appearing in AI search results?

The usual reasons: not enough third-party citations from sources AI models trust, weak or inconsistent entity signals across the web, content that optimises for keywords rather than for how people phrase questions to AI, and thin presence in the review, community, and publisher ecosystems that AI pulls from. The diagnostic identifies which of these apply to you and in what order to fix them.

How much organic traffic is actually at risk?

The short answer depends on how much of your pipeline starts with "best", "top", "how to choose", and comparison queries. For brands heavily dependent on these, the exposure is significant. The diagnostic models your specific exposure using your GA4 and Search Console data, rather than applying a blanket category estimate.

How long does the engagement take?

45 days from kickoff to final executive presentation. You get a 30-minute status call every two weeks plus an interim data read at week 3. If you need faster, we offer a compressed 21-day variant for brands with immediate board pressure.

What does it cost?

Every engagement is fixed-price, agreed after a short scoping call. The price depends on the markets, languages and depth of competitive mapping involved. We do not work on day rates.

What happens after the 45 days?

You have a roadmap and the option to execute it yourself, with your existing agency, or with us. Some diagnostic clients continue with a strategic advisory retainer. We are comfortable if you do not. The diagnostic is built to stand on its own.

Can you guarantee we will rank in AI answers after this?

No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. AI models are black boxes with moving recommendation criteria. What we can guarantee is a plan built from observed patterns in your category and a set of fixes that our other clients have seen drive measurable visibility gains within 90 days of execution.

Do you work with agencies as well as brands?

Yes. Agencies run the diagnostic on behalf of their clients either as a white-labelled deliverable or as a co-signed engagement. It is a way for agencies to add AI search capability without building an internal team overnight.

How this differs from an AI visibility monitoring tool

Monitoring tools report the problem. The diagnostic solves it.

A monitoring dashboard gives you

  • Weekly visibility scores
  • Competitor mention tracking
  • Platform-by-platform charts
  • A lot of data, minimal direction

The diagnostic gives you

  • The specific reasons you are missing from AI answers
  • The exact citation sources competitors are using
  • Revenue impact in pounds, not percentage points
  • A sequenced 90-day plan your team can execute

Built by a team with 20+ years of search strategy experience. Paul Byrne led the global search practice at MediaCom (Adidas, Shell, Coca-Cola), led global digital transformation for LEGO at IPG, worked at Google, and ran search marketing client-side at Viator and TripAdvisor. The diagnostic applies that depth to the answer economy.
