Our agency reports AI visibility but nothing changes — how do we audit that?
Before you accept an AI-visibility report, ask for the prompt list and the raw transcripts, not the score. Four checks that separate a real audit from a summary written about one: per-engine numbers never summed, a human re-read of every hit an automated grader flagged, and a direct test for your name being confused with someone else's.
CommunitiesWhite-label Reddit marketing: what an agency partner should be able to show you
What an agency partner should be able to put on the table before you sign a white-label Reddit contract: the raw test, the failure rate, and the null results, not only the wins. Includes what a 32-question, 96-instance run across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity showed about zero citations to our own domain and about per-engine name confusion.
GEO · AI SearchReddit shows up in a lot of AI answers now — here's what our own measurement found
Put a controlled question set through ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity and the Reddit ecosystem comes back as the single largest citation source, ahead of brand sites and review blogs. The engine-by-engine breakdown, why Perplexity and Gemini cite at wildly different rates, and why those counts must never be summed into one total.
CommunitiesIn-house Reddit marketer vs VA vs agency: cost and risk breakdown
The cost ladder is the visible part of choosing between an in-house Reddit hire, a VA, and an agency. The part that actually breaks projects is who verifies the numbers you are handed. Two concrete measurement bugs that looked perfectly fine in a dashboard, plus why templated cross-posting is the first thing a subreddit's mods flag.
CommunitiesPost-launch community for global games: Reddit and Discord in the first 90 days
The AI engines your future players ask whether a game is any good cite what the community already left on Reddit, not your press kit. What the first 90 days after a global launch should actually build, why Discord activity mostly stays outside what these engines surface, and how name collision plays out differently on each engine.
GEO · AI SearchGEO agency for Chinese brands with Chinese-language communication
What a GEO engagement organizes when the buyer is a Chinese team selling into English-speaking markets: a frozen commercial question set, a source-gap map per question, exact-match service pages, entity consistency work, and repeated measurement — with the review loop run in Chinese and the published assets in English.
GEO · AI SearchWhite label GEO services for agencies: who does the work and what you can verify
For agencies reselling GEO under their own brand: what the delivery layer actually produces, which artefacts a partner can inspect before anything is published, and how question bindings, approved facts, revision logs and measurement parameters make the work auditable rather than asserted.
CommunitiesReddit marketing agency for Chinese brands, and white label Reddit marketing
How Reddit work is organized for a Chinese brand entering English-speaking communities, and what a white-label partner should be able to see: subreddit rule capture, account ownership, content preflight, a task register with URLs and screenshots, and response ownership after publication.
CommunitiesReddit marketing that doesn't get you banned: a rule-aligned workflow
Most brand posts on Reddit never survive long enough to be judged by a human — automated filters remove them first. A seven-control workflow built around policy capture, subreddit-level rules, transparent identity, content preflight, controlled publishing, response ownership and a complete evidence log.
GEO · AI SearchWhich MaxGrowth is this? The company, the brand, the domain, and the products
Several unrelated businesses use the name MaxGrowth in English-language sources, and AI answer engines mix them up. A checkable statement of identity — operating company, domain, service lines, product name — plus what our own measurement runs found about which other web properties get returned instead.
GEO · AI SearchMaxGrowth Answers: what the free AI visibility audit does
What the free audit runs and what it records: real buyer questions put to live AI engines, with mentions, recommendations, cited sources, and who gets named instead of you. It also explains why there is no single "AI ranking" to fix, only several independent surfaces that each need their own read.
GEO · AI SearchBrand disappeared from Perplexity after a site redesign: a diagnostic checklist
After a redesign, "we stopped showing up" is usually two separate problems: whether an engine can find you, and whether it can identify you. A diagnostic checklist that separates citation surface from entity resolution, using API-level measurement across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
CommunitiesChinese game and app studios going global: where community work actually starts
For a studio planning a global launch, the first thing to check isn't the store listing or the paid UA budget — it's what AI answer engines already say about companies like yours. What a 32-question baseline across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity showed about name collision and which sources those engines actually trust.
