See what selected AI assistants say about your business—and what to improve next.
Verify Presence runs a defined set of real buyer questions across the selected AI systems in scope. It records the complete answers and returned sources, separates a simple mention from an active recommendation, checks material statements against public evidence and prepares a prioritised improvement plan for approval.
The practical difference
The distinction matters because each method answers a different business question.
- Agree the business, locations, buyer questions and selected AI systems in scope.
- Freeze the exact prompt set so the baseline can be repeated.
- Capture the provider, model context, date, complete answer and returned sources.
- Measure mention share, recommendation share, factual accuracy and citation coverage separately.
- Review inaccurate, unsupported, missing or confused information against attributable evidence.
- Prepare exact improvements for approval and repeat the same questions on the agreed schedule.
Where they can work together
Clear public evidence, accurate business information and good site foundations support more than one discovery channel.
- Agree the commercial question first.
- Keep measurement methods separate.
- Do not merge unlike metrics into a single unsupported score.
Claim boundary
The result is a dated sample of defined questions. Verify Presence cannot guarantee that an external AI system will mention, cite, rank or recommend a business, and a later change does not automatically prove causation.
- Keep the prompt and date attached.
- Retain uncertainty.
- Avoid causation and guarantee language.
What to know before you begin
Is Verify Presence a replacement for another discipline?
No. It is an AI Presence Management workflow focused on selected AI answers, public evidence and controlled improvements.
Can the measurements be compared over time?
Yes, when the prompt, scope and classification remain comparable and the model/date context is retained.
Is any result guaranteed?
No. External AI and search systems remain outside Verify Presence’s control.
