How to Know If It's Working
You made changes. Now what? Here's how to track whether AI is actually starting to recommend you.
Start with a baseline
Before you change anything, run your site through AI Lens. Note your score.
Then make changes and run it again. Did your score go up?
That's the direct measure.
Check AI tools manually
Every few weeks, ask AI tools questions about your industry:
- "What companies do [what you do]?"
- "Best [your product type] for [your customer type]"
- "Who should I use for [your service]?"
Are you coming up more often? That's a good sign.
Look at your traffic sources
In your analytics, watch for traffic from:
- chat.openai.com
- perplexity.ai
- claude.ai
If you're getting traffic from these, AI is mentioning you and people are clicking through.
Be patient
This isn't instant. AI tools update their knowledge over time. Changes you make today might take weeks to show up in how AI talks about you.
Keep improving your content. Keep checking your score. The sites that stay consistent win.
What to fix first
If your score is low, focus on:
- Making it clear who you are (first paragraph of your homepage)
- Adding specific facts instead of vague claims
- Cleaning up your page structure
Start there. The rest follows.
