Share of voice: “best accountants for online shops”

Illustration of the measure, not real figures

Where AI learns

AI learns about you from everywhere, not just your site.

Generated answers draw on a wide web of sources. The more consistently and credibly you appear across them, the likelier you are to be named.

  • Third-party proof counts.Reviews and independent articles carry more weight than your own claims.
  • Consistency builds confidence.The same facts everywhere make you safer to recommend.
  • Absence is a gap.If you’re missing from the places AI looks, rivals fill the space.

Prompt library

The questions buyers actually ask.

I build a library of real buyer questions, grouped by intent, and test them on a schedule.

  • best accountants for online shops
  • who can help with ecommerce tax
  • top bookkeeping services for startups

What lifts mentions

Four levers, in order of reach.

  • 01

    Be present where AI looks

    Reviews, round-ups, directories and publications in your field.

  • 02

    Say the same thing everywhere

    Name, services, location and facts matched across every profile.

  • 03

    Back claims with evidence

    Statistics, quotes and cited sources in your own content.

  • 04

    Keep key pages fresh

    Recently updated pages with honest dates and current facts.

Monitoring

Trends, not single answers.

AI answers vary from one asking to the next, so one result proves nothing. I look at the pattern.

GEO questions

Getting recommended by AI.

The short answer from Syed Hadi Hussain

What is generative engine optimisation (GEO)?

GEO is the practice of making content likely to be used in the answers generated by AI search tools. It focuses on direct answers, clear structure, original facts and credible sources, and tracks whether you are cited.

01What’s the difference between GEO and AI SEO?

AI SEO covers the whole job of being a trusted source. GEO focuses on one outcome: being named and recommended when AI generates a list or a comparison in your field.

02What is “share of voice” in AI answers?

Of the times AI answers a set of relevant questions, how often your brand is named compared with rivals. It’s a sample, so I track it over time instead of trusting a single result.

03What actually lifts mentions?

Being present on the sources AI learns from, consistent brand facts, and content with clear evidence. Early research suggests quotations, statistics and cited sources can help, but results vary by platform.

04Can I pay to be recommended?

No. These aren’t ad slots. Mentions come from being a source worth citing, which takes steady work.

05How long until I see a difference?

Some changes show in weeks, others take longer as sources are re-read. I report on trends, and I can’t guarantee any single mention.
