94% of B2B buyers now use AI as part of their purchasing research.
Anyone with a budget can buy AI search data now. The bit you can't buy off a shelf is somebody who knows what it actually means for your business and what to do about it. That's what Known & Cited is for.
Next time you Google something, look at the top of the page. That box with the summary answer? That's not Google Search. That's Google's AI. It's called an AI Overview, and it's now shown on the majority of searches. It decides which brands to mention — and which to leave out.
And it's not just Google. Millions of business people and consumers are now asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Apple Intelligence, and Amazon Alexa for recommendations every day. When someone asks "what's the best [X] near me?" or "which company should I use for [Y]?" — these AI platforms generate an answer. If your business isn't in that answer, you're invisible to a rapidly growing audience.
The shift is already happening:
900 million people use ChatGPT every week. 37% of consumers now start searches with AI instead of Google. And Google itself is replacing traditional search results with AI-generated answers. This isn't coming — it's here.
Marriott International
8,800+ properties. 30+ brands. The world's largest hotel company. But when ChatGPT gets asked "best luxury hotel chains" — Marriott often doesn't make the shortlist.
Instead, AI recommends Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, and Aman.
Not because they're bigger — because AI doesn't have the right signals for Marriott as a group (even though Ritz-Carlton is a Marriott brand that AI doesn't associate with Marriott). That's what we measure. That's what we help you change.
Marriott is a hotel group — but this problem isn't limited to hospitality. It affects every sector: law firms, SaaS platforms, retailers, agencies, financial services, healthcare providers. When someone asks ChatGPT "what's the best [X] in [Y]?", the AI draws from multiple sources: training data, web content, reviews, directories, and structured data. If your business isn't visible in those places, you're invisible to AI. This isn't SEO. It's a different game entirely.
Most businesses assume Google rankings and customer reviews are enough. They're not. AI models see the web differently than search engines — they look for authority signals, citation patterns, and consistency across sources. A business can rank well on Google and still be absent from AI recommendations.
That's where measurement comes in. You can't influence what you don't understand. We measure exactly how AI is seeing your business right now. Then we help you change it.
AI answers are becoming the new Google results. Every sector is affected — from hospitality to technology, financial services to healthcare, and beyond.
We asked ChatGPT to recommend luxury hotel chains. The world's largest hotel company wasn't in the answer.
AI recommended 4 wealth management firms for high-net-worth clients. The firm managing £50bn+ in assets wasn't mentioned.
Perplexity listed 5 project management tools for enterprise teams. The platform with 200,000+ enterprise customers was absent.
Google AIO suggested 3 management consultancies for digital transformation. A Big Four firm wasn't in the shortlist.
ChatGPT recommended sustainable fashion brands. A market leader with 15 years of sustainability credentials was invisible.
AI platforms recommend treatment options and course providers. Credibility and visibility determine who gets discovered.

Our AI Visibility Strategy tells you exactly where your business stands in AI.
We run structured research waves across ChatGPT, Google AI and Perplexity — in your sector, your language, your market. Then we score your business 0–100 using our 12-pillar methodology. You get a clear picture of what AI is saying about you, where the gaps are, and a strategy to do something about it.
If you're after media coverage, content, great copywriting — all strategically driven by AI — come to us.
We're not an overpriced creative agency. We're not a dashboard tool. We're a small specialist team that measures how AI talks about your business (AVS), builds the strategy off that data, and delivers the media relations, content, and copywriting that close the citation gaps. Tactical, AI-driven, focused on outcomes you can measure — and the AI search positioning work delivers top-tier media coverage as a by-product.
