AI Playbook is a GEO diagnostic (Generative Engine Optimization), the discipline of getting your business cited in AI-generated answers the way SEO gets you cited on Google.

We evaluate your online presence, show you where you stand, and tell you how to close the gap.

A question of perspective

Every business can be viewed through four lenses.

The gaps between them are where revenue leaks, and the overlaps are where the magic happens.

Active lens
The Reality

What your business actually is. The work you do, the area you cover, how many people are on the crew, and how you're set up.

What the report measures
  • →The services you offer and the ZIP codes you cover
  • →Crew size and daily capacity
  • →Ownership, licenses, and insurance
  • →How deep your expertise runs in your category
Gaps to watch
  • Reality ↔ Presented
    Does your digital footprint reflect what you actually do?
  • Reality ↔ Desired
    Is the business ready for this channel at all? (the Promise)

The Scorecard — page 1 of 2

These are sample pages from a recent report. We tune the diagnostic continuously — as the assistants change what they surface, and as we learn from the reports we ship — so the exact sections and layouts in yours may differ. What doesn’t change is the method: real queries, evidence you can check, and no number we didn’t measure.

The mechanics

From input to your inbox in 24 hours.

A GEO diagnostic runs every check sequentially across the systems that determine whether AI assistants name you.

  1. Seven fields, one form. Business name, industry, service-area ZIP, website, email. Optional: your primary challenge, if there’s one you already know about.

Common Questions

What buyers ask before booking.

What is GEO?
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It's the marketing discipline focused on getting your business cited in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other AI assistants. The way SEO is for traditional search results, GEO is for AI search results. AI Playbook's diagnostic measures exactly how well your business is doing on the GEO dimensions that matter most.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for ranking on traditional search engines like Google. GEO optimizes for being cited and recommended in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. The two share some technical foundations (structured data, content quality, authority signals) but the measurement and optimization strategies are different. Most marketing agencies cover SEO competently. Most haven't built GEO capability yet. It's a new category.
Why does AI Playbook charge when other AI graders are free?
Free AI graders are usually lead magnets, quick surface-level audits designed to push you toward a sales call where the agency pitches their services. AI Playbook is the actual product. Every report involves real-time queries to four AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini), each buyer question asked three times because their answers move, evidence-backed scoring across six dimensions, real competitor analysis, and review by an AI Marketing Expert before it ships. That depth costs us money to deliver. We charge fairly for the diagnostic rather than turning it into a lead funnel for selling you something else.
