Win the answer in AI search.
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews what to buy, you want to be the brand they name, with your own pages as the source. Fastlook builds those pages from your real facts, measures what engines do with them, and turns the visits into scored leads.
Starts on Launch ($49/mo). Lead capture and CMS publishing come with Grow ($99/mo).

What is AI Search Agent?
Fastlook's AI Search solution helps your brand get named in answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot and Claude. It grounds pages in your real facts, publishes them in a form engines can read, measures mentions and citations, and turns the resulting visits into scored leads.
01 · The shift
Why does AI search change who gets found?
A results page offered ten links and let the buyer compare. An AI answer does the comparing for them and names a few brands. If you are not one of them, the buyer may never see you.
An AI answer Sample
For a small support team, look at Harbor Desk, Tidewell or Quaymark.
We rank, but AI never mentions us.
Ranking for a keyword does not mean an engine will pick you when it writes the answer.
It says things about us that aren't true.
Engines fill gaps with guesses when your site doesn't answer the question clearly.
We can't tell if any of it turns into pipeline.
Visibility you can't connect to a lead is hard to justify spending on.
02 · The workflow
What does Fastlook do, step by step?
Five modules in a loop. Each one hands something concrete to the next.
- Brand Memory
Reads your public pages into one reviewable profile: products, buyers, proof points, terms and tone.
hands on Verified facts - Page Engine
Researches the questions buyers ask and drafts guides, comparisons, landing and FAQ pages, each grounded in those facts. A sources-only check removes claims it can't trace.
hands on Drafts you approve - AI Feed
Publishes approved pages with JSON-LD and FAQ schema, a sitemap entry and an llms.txt entry, so people and AI crawlers can read them.
hands on Pages crawlers can read - Analytics
Classifies AI crawler visits per page, adds Search Console once connected, and records mentions, position and competitors from AI visibility scans.
hands on What engines did with them - Leads
Adds a lead form to generated pages and scores each lead with reasons you can read, so the visit becomes pipeline.
you get Scored leads
03 · The difference
How is this different from SEO?
It builds on SEO rather than replacing it. The pages still get a sitemap entry, schema and Search Console data. What changes is the target: the answer, not only the list of links.
| Dimension | Answer engine optimization | Traditional SEO |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Be named, and cited where the engine shows sources | Rank in the list of links |
| Surface | AI answers, plus classic search | Search results pages |
| Content | Answer-shaped pages with JSON-LD and FAQ schema | Pages shaped around keywords |
| Grounding | Every claim traced to your Brand Memory or a cited source | Whatever the writer brings |
| Outcome | Mentions, citations where returned, and captured leads | Rankings and clicks |
Neither column guarantees a result. Engines and search rankings are decided by others; the difference is what you build and what you measure.
04 · The signals
How will I know it's working?
Signals tend to show up in this order. We don't promise dates, because it depends on each engine and how often your site is crawled.
- 01Usually firstAI crawlers visit
GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot and others start reading your new pages. Each hit is classified and tied to the page.
Analytics · crawler hits - 02ThenYou get mentioned
Visibility scans ask engines buyer prompts and record whether you were named, at what position, and who was named instead.
Analytics · visibility scans - 03Where engines return sourcesYou get cited
When an engine returns sources, a link to your page is recorded as a citation. When it returns none, only the mention is recorded.
Analytics · citations - 04When pages carry a formLeads arrive
Readers who land on generated pages fill in the lead form. Each lead is scored with readable reasons and the page that earned it.
Leads · Grow and above
05 · The plan

06 · The fit
Is this right for us?
Honest answer first, so neither of us wastes a quarter.
A good fit if
- Your buyers research before they buy, and ask AI tools while they do
- You have real proof on your site that pages can be grounded in
- Someone on your team can review drafts before they go live
Not a fit yet if
- You need pipeline in days
- You want a guaranteed citation
- You can't publish anywhere: no CMS access and no subdomain or subdirectory option
Honest limits
What can't this promise?
Three things we won't claim, and what we do instead.
Not us, not anyone. Engines decide what to say and whom to cite. Fastlook improves the signals they rely on and shows you what changed.
What we promise instead: pages, schema and honest measurementExtraction reads the HTML your server returns. Sites that only render in the browser give less to read, so the draft is flagged as thin.
What to do: fill gaps in the editor or server-render key pagesA page can be well structured and still not be cited. Readiness scores describe the page; citations are only counted when an engine returns one.
How it's labelled: readiness and observed citations stay separateFAQ
Questions about AI Search Agent
What is AI Search Agent?
Fastlook's AI Search solution helps your brand get named in answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot and Claude. It grounds pages in your real facts, publishes them in a form engines can read, measures mentions and citations, and turns the resulting visits into scored leads.
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of making your content easy for AI answer engines to find, understand and cite, so your brand appears inside the answer rather than only in a list of links.
Which AI engines does this cover?
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot and Claude.
Can Fastlook guarantee that AI engines will cite me?
No. Nobody controls what an engine answers. Fastlook improves the signals engines rely on, publishes the pages and measures what changes.
How long until I see results?
It varies by engine and by how often your site is crawled, so we do not promise a date. Crawler visits usually show up before citations do, and Analytics shows both.
