Tech GEO

Technical requirements

Most teams overcomplicate technical GEO. If your site is server-side rendered, doesn't block JS, and has basic schema, you're fine.

Chosenly helps SEOs with instant page-level technical audits:

• Check AI search visibility
• Detect rendered HTML vs. JS
• Review schema, meta, canonical, titles

Mentions

Off-page (mentions over backlinks)

In GEO, mentions matter, whether it is on your site or third-party sites

For third-party mentions, you can:

• Track citations without hyperlinks
• Prioritize valuable links and mentions
• Identify sites for outreach
• Get contact details and message templates for outreach

Our recommendation for SEOs

SEO should learn positioning

Once you finish the technical, content, and outreach parts, learn positioning.

AI search tools already choose which companies to recommend based on: Proof of value, brand strength signals, customer trust, market fit & relevance.

Learning positioning will make SEOs future-proof because AI search results are becoming recommendation-driven rather than keyword-driven.

Proven outcomes

Buyers now use LLMs to shortlist vendors. Chosenly shows where you show up (or don’t), helps fix misinformation, & win high-intent mentions that drive pipeline.

“We put our trust in Chosenly after seeing their knowledge about LLM visibility was early on ahead of the established SEO analytics firms. That trust turned out to be well placed and after a few months we won our first 5-digit deal from LLM visibility”
CEO, Fintech SaaS
“We closed a $120k USD client from ChatGPT. The best part was the lead said that they already trust us because ChatGPT deep research recommended us. I’ve only ever heard this when a lead comes from a human referral before this!”
Founder, B2B SaaS Agency

Questions?

Everything you need to know about AI search visibility and getting started.

How is Chosenly different from traditional SEO tools?
