Two scores, two questions. Visibility: does AI name you today (this is the one that wins customers). Readiness: is your site built to earn it, measured from your site alone. Your off-site Footprint (Wikidata, Google Business Profile, brand mentions) scores as its own third number from your next measure on the current methodology. You can be ready but not yet visible; closing that gap is what this report is for.
Named in 23 of 48 checks across 12 buyer questions. The engines re-decide these answers every week, and 6 rivals are already named on your questions. Your weakest signal is Quotable content at 60/100, the plan below starts there.
When a buyer asks “kids dentist Bli Bli”, the engines recommend Bli Bli Dental and Smiles Nambour Dental Clinic. Coastline Dental Co is missing from that answer. Same story on “best dentist Gympie”. Every one of those answers is kept word-for-word below, so you can read exactly what the buyer heard instead of you.
We read your site and understood you as Coastline Dental Co: dental clinic, for families and individuals seeking dental care across the Sunshine Coast region, across Cooroy, Maroochydore. So we asked the AI engines the questions that customer actually types, your visibility above is measured against those, not generic ones.

Google isn't showing an AI Overview for your buyer searches yet, common for local intent (it shows the map pack instead). When it does, the same off-page signals (entity, mentions, citations) decide who it pulls in.

named when asked: “dentist Cooroy”
Paste any of these into ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Gemini and see who it names. Answers shift run to run, which is exactly why we sample each one several times.
AI named Meridian Dental Group ahead of you because it out-signals you where AI looks hardest: 547 sites link to them vs 114 to you (5× more); they read as an established entity to AI, you don't yet. Those are the trust signals AI weighs to decide who's the established choice, close them and you're in the same conversation. The full field is below; your prioritised plan to close them is at the end.
Referring domains and reviews are the clearest signals AI uses to decide who's the established, trusted choice. Closing this gap is exactly what moves you up, and into the answer.
Sources: reviews & ratings, live Google business-profile data (search any rival's name to verify) · referring domains, the DataForSEO backlink index; “—” means no measurable data for that site (common for new sites), not a hidden number. Cross-check any domain free at ahrefs.com/backlink-checker.
When the AI engines answered these buyer questions without naming Coastline Dental Co, they pulled from these sources. A presence on them is the most direct route into the answer:
These are the pages AI trusts for your category, a listing, review, mention or thread on them is what turns "not named" into "recommended".
Work top-down: each listing or mention is a new path for AI to find, trust and recommend you. Reply to your report email and we'll do this for you.

⚠︎ This markup reflects your site as scanned today, check it against your actual strategy (trading name, service list, areas, opening hours) before it goes live, and keep it updated as the business changes; stale schema quietly misleads AI. Your AI assistant can adapt it for you, and validate it free at validator.schema.org before it goes live.

WordPress + WooCommerce — GEO-capable with a schema plugin, a fast theme and clean product markup, but it needs deliberate setup.
A slow load makes you a weaker citation candidate, an AI crawler may give up on a page that takes too long to render.
An AI agent on a lightweight browser sees almost nothing here. Your content is delivered by JavaScript the agent never runs, so it receives a near-empty shell. Server-side rendering so your content sits in the raw HTML is the single highest-leverage fix on this page.
What this is. How easily an AI can lift a clear, self-contained answer from your pages, a heading that asks the real question, then answers it in the first sentence, backed by specific facts.
Why it moves AI. AI assistants assemble answers from quotable passages. Vague, promotional copy gives the model nothing to use, so it quotes a competitor who wrote a clearer answer instead.
To 100. The remaining 40 points sit in the unticked checks above (FAQ / Q&A, expert quotes, cites sources, readable).
How to lift it. Add FAQ-style headings phrased as your customers' questions, answer each in 1–2 plain sentences up front, and include concrete numbers, prices and specifics the model can cite verbatim.
What this is. Whether AI crawlers can cleanly reach, render and read your site, HTTPS, a sitemap, canonical URLs, and real Core Web Vitals (load speed and visual stability).
Why it moves AI. If the crawler can't load your content quickly and cleanly, your pages may never enter the model's index, and a slow, unstable page is a weak citation candidate even when it does.
To 100. Every check above passes; the remaining 27 points come from graded measures that are not pass or fail: how deep the page content runs, how much of the web independently mentions you, and on full scans the Lighthouse quality fractions. They rise as those rise.
How to lift it. Serve over HTTPS with a sitemap and canonical tags, keep Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s and CLS under 0.1, and make sure key content is in the HTML, not loaded only by JavaScript.
What this is. Your readiness for each AI surface specifically, crawler access for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI, an llms.txt, and answer-shaped content.
Why it moves AI. Each assistant pulls from slightly different sources. Allowing their crawlers and publishing an llms.txt is the difference between being available to all of them or invisible to some.
To 100. The remaining 18 points sit in the unticked check above (answer-shaped content).
How to lift it. Allow the AI crawlers in robots.txt, publish an llms.txt (yours is above), and structure key pages as clear questions-and-answers so any engine can lift them.
What this is. Your Footprint: the off-site authority AI weighs, your Wikidata and Knowledge Graph entity, Google Business Profile, brand mentions, search demand and referring domains. Scored beside Readiness, never inside it, because none of it lives on your site.
Why it moves AI. Models recommend businesses they've 'seen' across the open web. Referring domains, directories, reviews and mentions are the trust signal that gets you onto the shortlist at all.
How to lift it. Earn citations from industry directories, local press, review sites and partners; claim and complete your Google Business Profile and every other profile; and aim for one reference-grade mention (an authoritative industry list or wiki-class source).
What this is. Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trust as your site itself demonstrates them, the credentials, provenance and contactability AI weighs before putting its name behind a recommendation.
Why it moves AI. AI is cautious about who it vouches for. Clear About/contact pages, named people, qualifications and a visible track record tell it you're safe to recommend. Your Google Business Profile and reviews count too, in your Footprint score, since they live off the site.
How to lift it. Add a substantive About page with real people and credentials, visible contact details and a privacy policy, and prove your track record (years, licences, accreditations, awards).
What this is. Structured data (JSON-LD) that states your business facts, name, location, services, hours, in a format AI can parse without guessing.
Why it moves AI. Schema removes ambiguity. Organization / LocalBusiness markup is how the model confirms what you are and where you operate before it recommends you.
How to lift it. Add Organization + LocalBusiness JSON-LD to your homepage (we've generated yours above), plus Service, FAQPage and BreadcrumbList markup where relevant.
