When a buyer asks AI who to choose, does it name you?

I put the 30 questions your buyers ask to AI search and show you where you are named, who gets named instead, and which pages to fix. I work with software companies that serve commercial real estate.

Why being named by AI matters

When a buyer asks an AI which software to use, it names a few companies and links to a few pages. If you are one of them, you are on the shortlist. If you are not, you are not in the conversation.

51%

of B2B buyers start their software research with an AI chatbot more often than with Google.

54%

say AI chatbots influence which vendors make their shortlist, ahead of software review sites at 43%.

69%

say an AI chatbot led them to choose a different vendor than they first planned.

A third of buyers bought from a vendor they had never heard of before. That is the opening for smaller software companies.

Named

The AI recommends your company by name in its answer. That puts you on the buyer's shortlist.

Cited

The AI links to your page as the source of what it says. The buyer lands on your site and reads your words.

Source: G2, The Answer Economy: 2026 AI Search Insight Report, a survey of 1,076 B2B decision makers, March 2026. G2 is a software review company, so read these as survey results, not a promise for any one company. On the quality of AI traffic: Ahrefs reported that AI search sent about 0.5% of its own visitors but 12.1% of its signups in a 30-day window in June 2025. That is one company's numbers.

How the audit works

Six stages, from your buyers' questions to pages your team can publish.

  1. Build the question set

    I write 30 questions the way your buyers ask them: by product category, by need, and against the competitors you are compared with.

  2. Run them on live AI search

    Every question goes to OpenAI's search. Each one runs more than once, because answers change from one run to the next.

    ProducesEvery answer, saved in full

  3. Read every answer

    Each answer is checked for your company, for each competitor, and for whether the AI recommends you or only mentions you.

    ProducesNamed and recommended flags per answer

  4. Map the sources

    Every link the AI cites is sorted by site: yours, a competitor's, or someone else's. Repeated runs show which sites it cites every time.

  5. Find the gaps

    Questions where you are missing are grouped as open ground, mostly open or competitive, and flagged where your own site is already cited.

  6. Write the fixes

    A baseline report, then for up to 8 questions where you are missing: an answer-page brief, a developer checklist, notes on cited sites, review-profile steps and outreach drafts.

Why I don't guarantee rankings

Anyone who guarantees AI results is guessing. AI answers change from one run to the next, and nobody controls them.

So I don't promise results. The goal is to get you cited by AI search. What I do is find exactly why you are missing and give you the pages and fixes that give you the best chance.
