Questions a skeptic asks
Plain answers, the same ones our structured data hands the robots.
- > What is AI search visibility (AEO/GEO)?
- Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) / Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is getting your brand cited inside AI answers (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews), not only ranking in blue links.
- > What is an AI Search Visibility Diagnostic?
- It's the first thing we run: we measure who the answer engines actually cite for your category — including which competitors get named when you don't — then hand you a ranked, engineer-reviewed fix queue. With the Fix tier, month one is your diagnostic; after that we work the fixes.
- > Does schema markup get me cited by AI?
- Schema and llms.txt are hygiene: necessary so engines can parse you, but not a citation lever on their own. The real levers are brand mentions and Bing ranking. We work all of it, and every change is human-reviewed.
- > So how do you actually get me cited?
- We measure the gap across the answer engines, then work the two levers that move it — earning brand mentions on sources the models trust, and lifting your Bing rank — while making your content clean and extractable. We don't promise a citation number; we ship the work and measure the before/after delta on a re-run loop.
- > How much does a Prompt Goblin audit cost?
- Scan ($99/mo) gives you a human-reviewed weekly report of what AI engines say about you — and your competitors. Fix ($499/mo) generates the fixes, assets, and content. Mention Engine ($999/mo) runs the monthly loop that grows your AI visibility — a goblin reviews every fix before it ships. Goblin Forge ($2k+/mo) is a fully managed custom build when you want the whole thing run for you. Monthly, cancel anytime, no credits, no meter.
