PROOF, NOT PROMISES
We sell AI citation audits, so we audit ourselves — monthly, against a frozen ten-query set, across real AI engines, and we publish the scorecard here whether the numbers flatter us or not. Your figures come from your records; ours come from ours.
MEASURED CASE · AIRSPACE WORLD 2026
In 2026 we built the Airspace World 2026 AI Visibility Hub — a citation-optimised knowledge hub for the world's largest air traffic management event — and tracked how long AI engines took to start citing it. The answer: 62 days from launch to first citation. By the July 2026 audit, Microsoft Copilot was building its answer to the event-discovery query directly from hub pages, and Perplexity recommended the hub as the "best starting point" for researching the event. Every claim can be re-run in the engines today; the methodology and captured citations are published on the hub's citation report.

WE SCORE OURSELVES · JULY 2026 BASELINE
On 27 July 2026 we ran our Visibility Engine on maxifidigital.com against our frozen ten-query set (three engines live: Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). The baseline: visibility score 43/100, named in 6 of 30 responses — and zero queries returning a correct, authoritative answer. One engine confused us with a similarly named Salesforce consultancy. An honest starting number is the point: this page exists so you can watch it move.
| Buyer question (frozen wording) | Claude | Gemini | Perplexity |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is Maxifi Digital, and who runs it? | named, no detail | named, generic guess | named, wrong entity |
| What proof does Maxifi Digital have that its AI-visibility work delivers results? | "can't verify" | "no proof found" | cites our site, method only |
| Best consultants for AI visibility / AEO for B2B brands? | not cited | not cited | not cited |
| How to check whether ChatGPT or Perplexity cites your company? | not cited | not cited | not cited |
| Who offers AI citation audits, and what do they cost? | not cited | not cited | not cited |
| How can event organisers make conference content visible to AI engines? | not cited | not cited | not cited |
| What is Answer Engine Optimisation, and who are the recognised experts? | not cited | not cited | not cited |
| Which agencies specialise in AEO for aviation and aerospace events? | not cited | not cited | not cited |
| Are AI answers killing website clicks — and what should brands do? | not cited | not cited | not cited |
| How much revenue is at risk when AI engines don't cite your brand? | not cited | not cited | not cited |
Method: verbatim answers captured via live API probes, 27 July 2026; a citation = a direct link or verbatim quote. GPT-4o, Copilot and Google AI Overviews columns join from the August audit. Query wording is frozen for month-on-month comparability.
WHAT WE DID ABOUT IT
01
Rebuilt our entity layer: sharpened the /about disambiguation, corrected third-party directory listings, and verified the domain with the search engines that feed AI answers.
02
Published this proof page — because the proof question deserved a measured public answer, not a claim.
03
Published the revenue-at-risk model answering the one buyer question no vendor currently owns in any AI engine.
COMMON QUESTIONS
A citation audit: a fixed set of buyer questions is put to AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot), the verbatim answers are captured, and each response is scored for whether the brand is named, cited, and correctly described. Wording is frozen between runs so movement is comparable. Actual citations captured, never asserted.
Because measurement you only publish when it flatters you isn't measurement. The baseline is low, dated, and public; so is every re-measurement. If our method works, this page will show it. If it doesn't, this page will show that too.
Yes — the free Visibility Snapshot runs the same style of audit on your category in about five minutes: your score, the queries where competitors surface instead of you, and three fixes to ship first.
