Checklist

The AI Ads Visibility Checklist

Answer engines decide who gets mentioned before any ad budget enters the picture. Work through these ten questions honestly — most brands fail at least three of them without realizing it.

1. 01

   Do you have clear category pages?

   If a model can't summarize what you do in one sentence from your own site, it will either skip you or guess — and the guess is rarely flattering.

2. 02

   Do you answer comparison-style questions?

   Most buying prompts are comparisons in disguise ("best," "vs," "alternative to"). If you never publish an honest comparison, competitors who do end up cited instead.

3. 03

   Do third-party sources mention your brand?

   Answer engines lean on independent confirmation. A brand that only talks about itself, on its own site, reads as unverified.

4. 04

   Do you have review / testimonial proof?

   Specific, attributable reviews carry more weight than a testimonials carousel with no names attached.

5. 05

   Does your site explain pricing, outcomes, and use cases clearly?

   Vague pricing pages get summarized as "contact for pricing" — which is usually where the model's interest in you ends.

6. 06

   Do you have pages mapped to buyer-intent prompts?

   Rank the actual questions your buyers ask before they choose, then check whether each one has a page that answers it directly.

7. 07

   Are your landing pages ready for AI-referred visitors?

   An AI-referred visitor already has context the model gave them. If your landing page doesn't match that context, they bounce faster than a typical search visitor.

8. 08

   Can your brand be described correctly in one sentence?

   Try it yourself: ask an AI assistant what your company does. If the answer is wrong or generic, that's the gap to close first.

9. 09

   Do your pages have structured FAQs?

   FAQs written as real questions and direct answers are easy for a model to lift and cite accurately.

10. 10

    Are you measuring AI traffic and AI-assisted conversions?

    Without tracking, you can't tell whether any of this is working — or which page changes actually moved the needle.
