Our Methodology
FIVESIXTEN follows a structured, data-driven methodology for improving AI visibility. We are transparent about how we work, what we measure, the standards we follow, and what no ethical agency can promise.
How We Optimize AI Visibility
Entity Clarity
We ensure AI platforms can unambiguously identify your business — what you do, who you serve, and where you operate. This includes structured data, consistent NAP (name, address, phone), and clear on-site content.
Content Optimization
We optimize your content for answer extraction readiness — clear definitions, direct answers, structured information that AI can easily parse and cite in responses.
Structured Data & Schema
We implement and maintain Schema.org markup (Organization, Service, FAQPage, and others) that helps AI platforms understand your business at a machine-readable level.
Citation Building
We build authoritative signals across the web — consistent business information, quality references, and topical authority that AI platforms use to evaluate trustworthiness.
Competitive Analysis
We continuously monitor how AI platforms cite your competitors, identify patterns in what gets recommended, and target the specific gaps where you can gain ground.
How We Measure Results
- •Citation Share — the percentage of relevant AI queries where your business is mentioned
- •Citation Accuracy — whether AI correctly represents your services, location, and details
- •Query Coverage — how many relevant queries trigger a mention of your business
- •Competitive Position — how your citation share compares to competitors
- •Trend Analysis — month-over-month changes in all metrics
Standards and Official References
Our methodology is grounded in official platform documentation and industry standards. We do not rely on speculation or unofficial tricks.
What We Do Not Guarantee
No ethical AEO/GEO agency can guarantee that your business will appear in any specific AI response. AI platforms generate answers dynamically using complex algorithms that change frequently.
What we guarantee is a rigorous, structured optimization process based on documented best practices. We improve the signals that AI platforms use to evaluate and recommend businesses.
We are transparent about the difference between improving your odds and guaranteeing outcomes. Any agency claiming guaranteed AI placements is either uninformed or dishonest.
