# We get tech startups recommended by AI. Twozeds runs AEO for seed and Series A tech companies. We get you named by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, and picked by personal agents like Instinct, Muse, Poke and Grok. 100 buyer questions per engagement 4 answer engines Free check back in 72 hours ## The shortlist is written before buyers reach your site. Buyers ask an AI assistant, get two or three names, and start from there. If you are not one of the names, you are not in the deal. 1 in 2: B2B software buyers start in an AI chatbot. Half of respondents to G2’s August 2025 survey said they start their software buying journey in an AI chatbot instead of Google Search. [G2 · 6 Oct 2025 ↗](https://learn.g2.com/ai-search-surging-for-b2b-buyers) 58%: Fewer clicks for the top Google result under an AI Overview. Ahrefs found AI Overviews correlated with a 58% lower average desktop click-through rate for the top-ranking page, relative to its estimated no-Overview baseline. [Ahrefs · 4 Feb 2026 ↗](https://ahrefs.com/blog/ai-overviews-reduce-clicks-update/) 8%: Of searches with an AI summary end in a click on a normal result. In Pew’s study, visits to Google results with an AI summary led to a traditional-result click 8% of the time, versus 15% without a summary.

AEO gets you named. ### You rank on Google. AI names someone else. Rankings and recommendations are two different lists. Being first on one does not put you on the other. ### You checked ChatGPT once. That is not a measurement. Answers change with the wording, the engine and the day. One screenshot tells you very little. ### Your site reads well to people. AI gets half of it. Many AI crawlers do not run JavaScript. If your pages need it to load, they arrive empty. ## Named by AI. Picked by agents. An AI answer tells a buyer who to consider. A personal agent goes further: it researches, chooses and buys for them. ### AI answers A person asks, reads the answer and decides. The goal: be named. How we measure it: 100 buyer questions, counted by how often you appear. ### Personal agents The agent finds options, picks one and completes the order or sign-up. The goal: be picked, and be possible to finish. How we measure it: 10 real tasks, each scored as considered, chosen and completed. ### Where an agent drops you Not found. It never comes across you. Not chosen. It can't confirm your price, delivery or terms. Not completable. It gets stuck at sign-up or checkout and moves to the next option. ## What we do, in order. Five stages. Each one ends with something you can open and read. ### 01 Find the questions your buyers ask. Week 1 We collect the way buyers phrase things in your sales calls, reviews, Reddit threads and competitor comparison pages, and turn it into a fixed set of 100 questions. You get: the full question set, yours to keep. ### 02 Measure what AI says about you today. Week 1 We run every question 3 times on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, because a single answer is noise. Then we read the answers. We also give Instinct, Muse, Poke and Grok 10 real tasks and record whether it considers you, chooses you and can finish. You get: a baseline report with every question and every answer. ### 03 Make your site easy for AI to read and quote. Weeks 2 to 4 We fix what stops AI reading your pages, then write or rewrite the pages your buyers' questions point at. You get: the changes shipped, or a ticket list for your developer. ### 04 Get mentioned where AI looks. From month 2 AI leans on what other sites say about you more than what you say about yourself. We map the sources it cites in your category and work to get you into them. You get: a source map and a monthly list of mentions earned. ### 05 Re-test, report, repeat. Every month Same questions, same engines, every month. We report what moved, what did not, and what we do next. You get: a monthly readout and next month's plan. ## Don’t guess whether AI can find you. Measure it. Sample layout. Numbers are illustrative. YourCo / fictional company Questions recommending you.: 25 / 100. Last month: 20. Questions mentioning you.: 32 / 100. Mentions that describe you accurately.: 26 / 32. ChatGPT: 18 / 100 questions with recommendations. Gemini: 14 / 100 questions with recommendations. Perplexity: 25 / 100 questions with recommendations. Google AI Mode: 16 / 100 questions with recommendations. Recommendations rose from 20 to 25 questions. 6 of 32 mentions used outdated claims. Correct product claims, then re-test. 100 questions x 4 engines x 3 runs = 1200 answers a month. ## Your first 30 days. Day 1. Kickoff. One call. Site and analytics access. Question set started. Day 7. Baseline delivered. Every question and every answer. Who AI names instead of you. The fix list in priority order. Day 30. Site fixed, first re-test. Site changes shipped. Source map delivered. First re-test run. ## Visibility isn’t just a technical problem. It’s a distribution problem. ### One team for your site and your mentions. AI pulls from articles, review sites, YouTube, Reddit and press. Twozeds is a distribution studio, so the team that fixes your site also makes and places the content that gets you talked about. ### The method is on this page. Question counts, engines, runs, cadence. You see every question we ask and every answer we get. ### No guarantees we can’t keep. Nobody controls what a model says. We control the inputs and show you the numbers every month. ### How this compares #### Twozeds Who does the work: We do What gets measured: Whether AI names you, question by question Site fixes: Shipped by us or handed over as tickets Mentions on other sites: Made and placed by the same team What you receive: Every question and answer, plus next month's plan #### A tracking tool Who does the work: You do What gets measured: Whether AI names you Site fixes: Not included Mentions on other sites: Not included What you receive: A dashboard #### An SEO agency Who does the work: They do What gets measured: Rankings and traffic Site fixes: Usually included Mentions on other sites: Mostly link building What you receive: A rankings report ## Common questions. ### Is this just SEO with a new name? Some of it starts in the same place: AI can’t recommend a site it can’t read. But SEO is measured in rankings and clicks. AEO is measured in whether you are named in the answer, and much of the work that moves that happens off your site. ### Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us? No, and nobody can. We control what AI can find and read about you, and we measure the result every month. ### How do you measure it? We ask the same 100 buyer questions on 4 engines, 3 times each, every month, and count how often you are named. You get the full list of questions and answers. ### How long does it take? Engines that search the live web can pick up changes within weeks. What a model has memorised changes more slowly. Plan for three months before judging it. ### Can I see results before I pay? Yes. The free check is run on your company, so the first results you see are your own. ### What do you need from us? One 45-minute call, access to your site or CMS, and read access to your analytics. ### Do you cover personal agents? Yes. We test Instinct, Muse, Poke and Grok with real tasks alongside the AI answer engines. Agents read your own pages for price, stock and terms, then try to complete the order or sign-up, so we check all three. We add agents to testing as we get access to them. ## Find out if AI recommends your startup.
