Why is my site invisible in AI search outside my home market?+
Localisation is machine-translated, hreflang is incomplete or wrong, and there is no local corroboration in any market outside the first. The practical answer is to diagnose before acting: audit hreflang, market targeting and indexation per locale, then assess whether localised content answers local questions or merely translates home-market copy. Market-by-market visibility instead of one strong market carrying a set of invisible copies.
How long does this take to show results?+
Long-tail and comparison questions typically move within 30–90 days of the fix shipping. Broad category questions take longer because they depend on corroboration accumulating outside your own site, which you influence but do not control.
What does it cost?+
The forensic audit is $4,500 and includes the full diagnosis plus a prioritised 90-day plan you can execute yourself. Ongoing engagements are scoped per brand. Implement our plan and if you do not see movement in 3–6 months, we refund our fees in full.
Can we do this in-house?+
Often, yes — and the audit is deliberately written so you can. Most teams have the capability but lack the diagnostic layer and the measurement, which is what makes the work land on the right pages in the right order.
How do you measure success here?+
Mention and citation rate per market probe set. Baselines are captured before anything ships and reported by segment, so improvement is attributable rather than assumed.
Is this different from regular SEO?+
It shares the technical groundwork but changes the target. Classic SEO competes for a position in a list of links; this competes to be the source a model uses and names, which rewards explicit data, honest qualifiers, named expertise and independent corroboration.
