AI visibility tracking in Kansas City. Does AI recommend you, and who does it name instead?
Lefty Media Co is a Kansas City AEO and GEO agency. Every month we track whether ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity recommend your business, per engine and per question. We record who gets named instead and which pages the engine opened. Then we fix what keeps you out of the answer.
What AI visibility tracking is
When someone asks an AI engine who to hire in Kansas City, the engine searches, opens five or six web pages, and names whoever is on them. AI visibility tracking records that answer, every month, so you can see whether you are in it.
What we track, every month
- The questions. The questions your Kansas City customers ask AI, written for your business.
- The answers, per engine. ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, recorded word for word. You see the engine’s words, not a summary.
- AI citations. Which pages each engine opened while answering, and whether your site was one of them.
- Who AI names instead of you. The businesses the engines recommend when they skip you, and how often.
- What changed since last month. Including the months nothing moves.
Two numbers, per engine, per question
One answer, not ten links
Answer engines give one answer instead of ten links. If your business is not in that answer, the customer never sees a list with you on it.
Recognition
Does AI know you exist: your name, what you do, where you are.
Pick Rate
When someone asks who is best, does AI name you. A business can be fully recognized and still never picked, so we measure Pick Rate on its own. We coined the term.
Tracking is half the job. Then we fix it.
The fixes. Your site made readable to AI: structured data, AI files, pages that match the questions. Then the places outside your site that the engines keep opening.
The Guide. A person in Kansas City reads every number with you. A score can be wrong. A Guide notices.
The service is called Discover Me. One offer, month to month, 30 days notice, no lock-in.
AEO and AIO tracking for Kansas City service businesses
AEO (answer engine optimization) is getting into the single answer an engine gives back. AIO (AI optimization) is the umbrella name some Kansas City agencies use for both. AI SEO is what the search industry calls it. The tracking is the same: does AI pick you, and if not, who.
Most of our clients are owner-run Kansas City businesses: contractors, venues, delivery companies, fitness, professional services. They already do good work. They are missing from the answer when someone asks AI who to hire.
Our own numbers, same instrument
We track ourselves with the same instrument we use for clients and publish the result on AI discoverability in Kansas City, including the months it is low. The method lives on How we measure. Every number on this site carries its date and its denominator.
