ChatGPT, GPT-5, May 2026
ChatGPT (GPT-5), 50 prompts, 3 runs each, published May 10, 2026. Read the study
A site set up for AI search, mentions in Calgary press and on Reddit, and named authors. The more of the three an agency had, the more often ChatGPT named it.
The first of those three is the site itself. Our audit read the homepages of 403 Calgary businesses from the city's best-of lists in July 2026 and parsed the 352 that answered. Three of the free audit's 13 checks run down them as you read.
The free audit runs 13 checks on your homepage, these three among them. In seconds, no email.

FAQ
No fixed timeline. Citation timing varies by product, query, access, relevance, and source selection. We establish a baseline and track the same query set over time. No agency can promise an engine order, a 60-to-90-day result, or a six-month share of voice.
No. SEO and AEO share infrastructure such as technical health, useful content, and authority. SEO measures rankings and organic traffic. AEO adds retrieval readiness and source monitoring for AI answers. Measure each outcome separately and run both where buyer research supports it.
A written scope up front, then monthly delivery against it, meaning technical fixes, structured data, content, authority work where it applies, and a plain-English report covering rankings, AI citations, and what changed. Contract duration and terms are agreed separately for each scope. Every engagement is quoted to its scope after a short call.
No. Search and answer systems decide their own results. We commit to the agreed work, meaning observable technical checks, accurate content and markup, and consistent measurement against a defined query set.
Some buyers already use it, but prevalence varies by category. Validate demand with customer research, analytics, and repeated query sampling. Do not treat a universal adoption statistic or a fixed set of citation slots as fact.
We track search clicks, impressions and relevant queries, alongside qualified enquiries where analytics allow. Google AI impressions and repeated citation checks show source visibility separately. Schema validation is a technical check, not a ranking or citation result. Reports state the query set, period and limits of the data.
Rankings still count. Now the answer counts too. We'll read your site before the call, and if nothing is worth fixing, we'll say so.
