B2B GEO/AEO Consultancy
MentionBench sells one AEO/GEO Engagement for North American B2B brands—method layers Diagnosis, On-site improvement, and Bounded off-site—so you show up more clearly when buyers ask AI for recommendations. Success is locked-prompt mention rate and citation rate (baseline → observation-window retest). Public sample ruler: Panel v1 · N=100 · Frozen 2026-07-26 (Before Pending) · self case.

Why AI search visibility matters now
AI assistants now shape who gets considered first: if your brand rarely appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or AI Overviews, you miss early shortlists—even with a strong website or ads. MentionBench’s public proof style is before/after on a locked buying-prompt panel (see Self Case Study), not vanity traffic claims.
1Buyers shortlist vendors in AI before they visit your site
Prospects ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews who to consider. If you rarely appear in those answers, you miss early consideration—even with a strong site or ads.
2Your site may not be easy for AI to understand
AI systems need clear, consistent facts about what you do and for whom. When that layer is missing or contradictory, recommendation is harder to earn.
3AI mentions are hard to turn into a plan
Teams hear “we saw you in ChatGPT”—or silence. Without a simple read on where you stand, AI visibility stays anecdotal instead of actionable.
How we work
One AEO/GEO Engagement · three method layers—Diagnosis, On-site improvement, and Bounded off-site—with published include/exclude lists. Success uses locked-prompt mention and citation rates; retest is accountability for before/after, not a guarantee rates will rise. Cross-check: FAQ · Case Studies · Glossary.
