AI Visibility (GEO / AEO)
When someone asks AI who to hire, does it say you — or your competitor?
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity for recommendations before they ever open Google. If the answer names a competitor instead of you, you never even knew you were in the running. We'll show you exactly where you stand — free.
No credit card. We run it and email you the result — usually within a couple of business days.
The receipts
Here's our own scorecard. We didn't soften it.
Before we sold this to anyone, we ran Never Behind's own audit — our own method, our own prompt set — against ourselves. Every row below is a real question a buyer would type into an AI assistant. ⚪ means we didn't show up at all. We didn't either, 80 times out of 80.

Google AI Overviews (~20 more cells) is still being captured by hand — it won't change the
headline. Full method + raw capture data:

Who the AI named instead of us
Zoom out and the pattern gets sharper: across all 80 answers, the engines cited 1,264 sources from 547 different domains — Semrush's own site alone 53 times, Reddit in 22 separate answers, Search Engine Land in 25, cited by all four engines we track. We're on none of them. That's the real gap. It's not that our website needs better SEO — it's that we're absent from the sources these engines already trust and quote. Fixing that is what the full audit's fix list is for.
Share of the 80 answers that named each business. The demand isn't hypothetical — buyers asking these exact questions get real vendor names back today.
How it works
Three steps. No jargon.
Tell us your business
Your business name, your website, your work email. That's the whole form — no phone call, no fifteen-field intake.
We ask the AI what your buyers ask
We run real buyer-intent questions — the kind someone actually types when they're shopping, not generic keywords — against ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, and record whether you show up. Or whether a competitor does.

Why it matters
This is the new front page — and most businesses aren't on it.
A competitor is already the answer
In our own 80-cell test, an AI assistant named a competitor by name in 74% of answers. If a buyer asks and hears a competitor's name instead of yours, you're not in the running — you don't even know you lost.
not clicks
It's not SEO you can game
AI assistants answer from what they've already read about you — on your own site and everywhere else. It's a citation graph, not a ranking algorithm. You can't trick your way in; you can only earn a real presence in the sources these engines already trust.
The gap compounds quietly
There's no error message when an AI doesn't mention you. Every week you're absent, competitors get cited again, quoted again, and cemented further as the default answer. You can't fix what you can't see — which is the entire reason the Snapshot exists.
Why trust us
We ran this on ourselves before we ran it on anyone.
We show our work
Our own scorecard is right above this — zeros and all. Every one of the 80 cells is backed by raw capture data we keep on file, and we published the losing score before we published a single ad.
Real method, not vibes
The same 20 buyer-intent questions, across the same 5 AI engines, scored the same way every time — so a result means something and you can actually track whether it's moving.
Plain English, no lock-in
You get a scorecard and a fix list you could hand to anyone — your own team, another agency, doesn't matter to us. The free Snapshot is genuinely free: no card, no call, no auto-enrollment into anything.
