Right now, someone is asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google Gemini for a recommendation in your industry. Maybe it's "best plumber near me" or "top-rated yoga studio in Austin." The AI is generating an answer — and your business isn't in it.
This isn't a hypothetical. Over 200 million people use AI assistants weekly to make purchasing decisions. And unlike traditional search where you at least appear somewhere on page 2 or 3, with AI search you're either in the answer or you don't exist.
The Invisible Business Problem
Traditional SEO got you ranked on Google. But AI search works differently. When someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, it doesn't show 10 blue links — it gives one confident answer, maybe mentioning 2-3 businesses. If you're not one of them, the customer never knows you exist.
Here's what makes this urgent:
- AI search is growing 40% quarter over quarter — it's not slowing down
- 47% of Google searches now show AI Overviews — even traditional search is becoming AI search
- Users trust AI recommendations like word-of-mouth — they don't scroll past them to check alternatives
- Your competitors are already optimizing for this — early movers get locked into AI recommendation patterns
Why Traditional SEO Isn't Enough
SEO optimizes for search engine crawlers. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes for AI understanding. They're fundamentally different:
- SEO: Keywords, backlinks, page speed, meta tags
- GEO: Entity recognition, structured data, authoritative citations, AI-readable content, agent protocols
You can rank #1 on Google and still be completely invisible to ChatGPT. That's because AI models don't crawl your site the same way Google does — they synthesize information from training data, structured data, and real-time sources to form recommendations.
What Is AVAS?
AVAS (AI Visibility & Agent System) is our solution to the invisible business problem. It's a comprehensive system that makes your business discoverable, understandable, and recommendable by AI platforms.
AVAS works on three levels:
1. AI Discovery
We track which AI bots are visiting your site and what they're looking at. ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended — we monitor all 16 major AI crawlers so you know exactly how AI platforms are interacting with your business.
2. AI Business Profile
Your business gets a machine-readable profile (using the A2A protocol) that AI assistants can query directly. Think of it like a Google Business Profile, but for AI. When ChatGPT needs to recommend a business in your category, your profile gives it structured, accurate information to work with.
3. AI-Optimized Content
Your website gets structured data (Schema.org markup), an llms.txt file (the robots.txt equivalent for AI), and content optimized for how AI models process and cite information. This isn't about stuffing keywords — it's about making your expertise machine-understandable.
The Free Tier: Start in 60 Seconds
We believe every business deserves AI visibility. That's why AVAS starts with a free tier:
- AI-optimized website with your business information, services, and contact details
- Schema.org markup automatically generated for your industry
- AI Business Profile so AI assistants can discover your business
- llms.txt file telling AI crawlers what your business is about
No credit card required. No technical knowledge needed. Just enter your business name, location, and a brief description — our AI builds everything in under 60 seconds.
What Happens When You're AI-Visible
Businesses using AVAS are seeing real results:
- AI bot visits increase within the first week as crawlers discover new structured data
- Businesses start appearing in AI-generated recommendations for their category and location
- Lead quality improves because AI-referred customers have higher intent
- The AI visibility advantage compounds over time — early movers get reinforced in AI models
The businesses that act now will be the ones AI assistants recommend for years to come. AI recommendation patterns are self-reinforcing — once you're in, you stay in. Once you're out, it gets harder to break in.
Stop Being Invisible
Every day you wait is another day your competitors are building their AI visibility while yours stays at zero. The shift from traditional search to AI search is happening right now, and there's a narrow window to establish your business in AI recommendation patterns.
