The AI Visibility Playbook
How to get your business cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI — the tactics we're running at HAVENGAI, starting with this page. This page is built with them.
AI Visibility Questions, Answered
What is AI visibility?
AI visibility means AI answer engines cite or recommend your business. When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity who to hire, your name comes up — with a link.
How do I get my business cited by ChatGPT?
For your own facts — services, prices, process — publish them on your official pages; that's where ChatGPT looks for facts. For recommendations, earn third-party mentions: most AI brand mentions come from other sites, not your own.
How do I get cited by Perplexity?
Perplexity cites fresh, specific pages. Publish comparison pages, pricing breakdowns, and technical explainers. In one documented case, new Q&A blocks were indexed in under 48 hours. Keep pages updated — recently refreshed content gets cited far more often.
How much does AI visibility cost?
Our Position Scan is free. The Verified Position Brief — full audit and action plan — is $495. Most businesses start with the scan.
How long until AI engines cite my site?
Perplexity moves fastest — days in some documented cases. ChatGPT is slower; plan in weeks, not days. Measure across multiple runs, because single answers vary.
Do I still need Google SEO?
Yes. Google-indexed pages still feed many AI answers, and Google is where buyers verify you. Do both: rank the page, then make it quotable.
The Tactics We Run
- Publish "[You] vs [Alternative]" comparison pages. When someone asks "X vs Y," the vendor's own honest comparison wins the citation.
- Put real prices on your pages. Engines cite the page that answers "how much." Withholding price hands the citation to whoever publishes it.
- Q&A blocks under 40 words. One question, one tight answer. Built for extraction.
- Keyword-rich titles and headings. Retrieval decides everything — a page that isn't retrieved can't be cited. Optimize the fields engines index, not the body copy.
- Write quotable lines, not stat-stuffed filler. In controlled tests, mechanically adding statistics hurt citation rank more often than it helped. Lines get quoted when they carry relevant evidence.
- Own your changelog and facts page. For news about you, your official page is the source Perplexity trusts. Be the official source.
- Keep pages fresh. Update monthly. Stale timestamps quietly disqualify you.
- Get listed where each engine looks. ChatGPT leans on directories and aggregators; Perplexity leans on niche and specialist sources. Cover both.
- One idea per page. Diluted pages dilute citations.
- Measure, don't guess. Re-audit your citations regularly. Citation maps shift fast — lawsuits and index changes redraw them overnight.
