AI Search Answers
Short answer: every question below gets its own page, and every page answers the question in its first sixty words before explaining the detail. No statistic appears here without the study or report it came from.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
To get recommended by ChatGPT you need three things in place: OpenAI crawlers must be allowed to fetch your site, your pages must contain short self-contained answers to the questions buyers actually ask, and those answers must be backed by named sources and corroborated somewhere other than your own domain. ChatGPT typically names only one or two businesses per answer, so the bar is authority, not presence.
Read the full answerWhy is AI recommending my competitor instead of me?
A generative engine names your competitor for one of four reasons: it cannot crawl your site, your pages contain no extractable answer to the question being asked, your claims carry no sources it can verify, or the rest of the web talks about them and not you. All four are fixable, and the first two are usually fixed in days.

GEO by MyFast.ai costs $1,499 per month, flat, with no contract and no minimum term — cancel anytime from your dashboard. That covers the published content, the auto-publishing snippet, the forum swipe files, monthly AI visibility scanning across six engines and the client dashboard. There are no setup fees and no per-article charges.
Read the full answerHow long does GEO take to work?
First citations typically appear four to twelve weeks after new content and off-site mentions go live. That window is set by how often each engine re-crawls and re-indexes, not by how fast the work is done. Plan on at least ninety days for momentum you can measure, and expect results to compound rather than switch on.
Read the full answerDoes GEO replace SEO?
No. GEO sits on top of SEO rather than replacing it. The technical half of SEO — crawlability, clean structure, internal linking, canonical URLs, page speed — is what makes your content retrievable in the first place. What stops working is the tactical half: keyword density, exact-match repetition and thin pages built to catch query patterns.

To be cited in a Google AI Overview, publish a clean extractable answer to the exact question, keep Googlebot and Google-Extended unblocked, support the answer with sourced facts, and make sure the topic is also discussed off your own domain. You do not have to rank first to be cited — the cleanest available answer often wins the slot.
Read the full answerWhat is llms.txt and do I need one?
llms.txt is a plain-text file at the root of your site that states what your business is, gives the canonical facts about it, and points AI systems to your most important pages. It is not a ranking factor and no engine is obliged to read it. It is worth publishing because it removes ambiguity cheaply and takes minutes to maintain.

Allow the AI agents explicitly in robots.txt — GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, Applebot-Extended, CCBot and the rest — and repeat your full disallow list inside every named group. A named user-agent group replaces the wildcard group rather than adding to it, so an incomplete named group grants or blocks far more than intended.
Read the full answerDoes schema markup help with AI search?
Schema markup does not force an AI citation, and it is not a ranking factor for generative engines. What it does is state plainly what a page is, who published it and how your entities relate, so a retrieval system does not have to infer any of it. That disambiguation is worth doing, but it is not a substitute for a quotable answer.
Read the full answerHow do I measure AI search visibility?
Measure AI visibility with a fixed question set asked on a fixed schedule across every engine that matters, recording who gets named on each question. The output is a share-of-voice percentage per engine plus a list of the specific questions where a competitor owns the answer. Keyword rankings do not measure this and cannot substitute for it.
Read the full answerCan I do GEO myself?
Yes. Nothing about GEO is secret — crawler access, extractable answers, sourced evidence and off-site corroboration are all things a capable team can do in-house. What makes it hard is not knowledge, it is sustained cadence: publishing sourced content every week, keeping older pages fresh, and re-measuring across six engines every month, indefinitely.

Would you rather we just did it?
