- Ask how the agency measures AI visibility, on which engines, and whether before and after are compared on identical questions.
- Ask whether you get results per location, if you have more than one.
- Ask what the agency publishes about its method, so a reported change can be checked.
- Prefer agencies that will show you misses as well as wins.
