AI visibility is built in three layers

Measurement

We run the questions your buyers ask on the engines they use, repeatedly, and record who gets named, recommended and cited.

On-site

Your website says plainly what you do, who it suits and what it costs, with the evidence and technical access an engine needs to quote it.

Off-site

Engines also read what others say about you. We pursue the editorial, directory and comparison mentions that help them describe you accurately.

What Areon's founder said about our findings

“Tilio’s AI Visibility Audit gave me a clear and honest picture of where the site stands technically and what I need to focus on to build AI search visibility over time. The competitor data was especially valuable because it showed who is actually appearing in AI search results and why we are not there yet.”

Buyers ask more than one question

A buyer starts broad, then narrows the shortlist by sector, budget or requirement. Within Gain, where it matters to your scope, we can simulate those follow-up questions and see where you drop out.

See how we follow buyer journeys

  1. Mapped to how buying happens

    Follow-up questions grouped by stage, from first problem to shortlist, so a drop-off is tied to a moment.

  2. Frequencies, not anecdotes

    Questions run repeatedly, so a finding shows how often it happens.

  3. Simulations, not recordings

    Possible buying conversations, not your customers' private AI sessions. Findings feed your agreed priorities.

Track AI visibility by market

Your visibility is not the same everywhere. We can track how often AI engines mention and recommend your brand market by market.

See where you are strong and where to focus next. The UK comes first. Other markets and languages are agreed in your scope.
