AI visibility vs classic SEO

Classic SEO is about ranking your pages in a list of links. AI visibility is about being named in the answer itself. The assistant reads several pages and writes a short reply, often with only a few businesses in it, so being one of those names matters more than ranking one page.

What drives it

Much of the same groundwork helps both: clear pages about what you do and where, a complete business profile, consistent listings, reviews, and mentions on other trusted sites. The difference is that answers lean more on what other sites say about you than on your own pages alone.

Why it matters for local businesses

People increasingly ask assistants for recommendations the way they would ask a friend. If the answer names three competitors and not you, that customer may never see your website at all.

What a Prisqo report checks

A Prisqo report asks 6 buyer-style questions for your business to one AI model with live web search. It shows whether you were named, a visibility score, who was named instead, and which sites the answers cited, with suggested next steps. It does not query ChatGPT directly. It is $19 once, with no account and no subscription.
