Frequently Asked Questions
How are AI SEO results measured?
AI SEO results are measured by querying ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI with 20–50 target queries each week and tracking citation rate — the percentage of queries where your brand is mentioned. This creates a baseline before work begins and tracks improvement over time.
How long does it take to see AI SEO results?
Most clients see Perplexity citations within 4–6 weeks. ChatGPT citations typically appear within 6–10 weeks after Bing indexing propagates. Google AI Overviews reflect structural improvements within 8–12 weeks. These timelines assume full technical implementation in week 1.
