## What this is about

94 % of B2B buyers use AI during the buying process (Forrester 2026). Ask ChatGPT or Google for
providers of a service and the answer names three to five companies. A company that does not
appear there never receives the enquiry — and never learns it existed. That absence shows up in
no statistic and no traffic report.

In the study "AI Blind Test 2026", 55 % of buyer questions produced no mention
of the company under review. Basis: 449 companies across 258 industries, 3,592 company-specific
buyer questions, 7,184 documented AI answers. It is not a random sample — that is part of the
finding. Method and results: https://www.codaai.ai/en/study/

## The three places where the decision is made

1. **Classic search (SEO)** — your site ranks in Google and Bing. The foundation, because AI
   systems draw on the search indexes too.
2. **Google AI Overviews (AEO)** — Google answers questions above the results. Missing from that
   answer box costs clicks despite a good ranking.
3. **AI assistants (GEO)** — your company is named in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude
   when buyers ask for providers.

The precondition for all three is **AIO (AI Optimization)**: the AI has to understand who you are —
through structured data, facts instead of phrases and the same details everywhere.

In short: SEO gets you into the results. AIO makes you readable for AI. AEO makes you the answer.
GEO makes you the recommendation.

## How CodaAI works

Three stages, each building on the last: **Found** → **Recommended** → **Cited**.
Everything starts with the free Visibility Snapshot on the homepage: one customer question, five AI
systems, about 20 seconds. The AI competitor comparison with around 20 buyer questions follows on
request — mentions, not rankings. That determines which of the 15 service building blocks the
work focuses on.

Pricing (from €1,970 per month, with a calculator): https://www.codaai.ai/en/pricing/

**CodaAI gives no placement or success guarantee.** The factors that matter are known; nobody
knows the formula the AI systems use. What is owed is professional work, not a ranking.
