I run this check on my own site, and publish what it says
I sell AI search visibility. It would be strange to ask you to trust that without showing you my own numbers, so here they are, including the parts that are not flattering.
Last run: 12 October 2026.
The half I control
These are the on-site signals, the ones any competent provider should be able to fix.
- Fifteen pages and posts. Fourteen carry page-level structured data. The one that does not is the privacy policy, which does not need any.
- Ten carry FAQ markup. Ten have question-shaped headings with the answer in the first sentence.
- Identity schema resolves on every page, so an engine landing anywhere on this site learns the same thing about who runs the business.
- There is an llms.txt. The robots file blocks no AI crawler.
- The homepage delivers its content in the HTML rather than behind JavaScript, so a crawler gets the page instead of an empty shell.
The half I do not control
Then I asked the engines what a customer would ask. Who does AI search visibility work for small businesses near Brunswick, who can help a Brunswick business get found by ChatGPT, and who a Brunswick business should hire to get recommended by AI search tools.
ChatGPT named GeoVize first on all three questions, as its explicit pick. Google AI Mode named GeoVize first on the first question, which it had not done once in September. Perplexity named another provider. The Gemini app, checked for the first time, did not name GeoVize on any of the three.
Two engines out of three now name my business, up from one in September. Perplexity is still the holdout.
The finding I did not enjoy
ChatGPT quoted prices I had retired that same morning. It cited a $250 Snapshot and a $600 Audit, with a link to this site, hours after both came off it.
Nothing forces these systems to re-read you. The gap between changing a page and the engines noticing is real, and it is the part most people selling this work do not mention.
It took thirty one days. On 12 October the retired prices were gone from ChatGPT’s answers on all three questions.
What happens to this page
Stay Named is the monthly service I sell. I run it on myself first.
Every month I re-run these same questions by hand, check my name, address and phone for drift across my profile, site, schema and directories, revalidate my own markup, and build or correct outside citations. Then I update this page with the new results, including the ones that do not go my way.
If off-site corroboration is what decides this, the honest test is whether it moves my own numbers. You get to watch it happen. Ask anyone else you are considering for the same thing. It is one of the questions on my guide to choosing someone for this work.
Want the same check on your site?
Send your business name and your website. I run it by hand, the same way I just ran my own, and tell you whether you show up, who shows up instead of you, and which sources those tools are citing. No charge and no call required.
