11-dimension audit, scored against Google and Microsoft guidance

The vendor acronyms (AIO, AEO, GEO) try to make this sound mysterious. It is not. AI search visibility is the same job as good SEO, traceable to two published documents: Google's AI Optimization Guide and the Bing Webmaster Guidelines. If your pages cannot be indexed by Google and Bing, they cannot be cited by AI Overviews, Copilot, ChatGPT, or Perplexity.

Our audit reads your site against the 11 dimensions that those two documents actually require, scores each one, and tells you exactly what to fix.

Surfaces covered

  • Google AI Overviews
  • Google AI Mode
  • Microsoft Copilot
  • ChatGPT search
  • Perplexity
  • Brave AI
  • DuckDuckGo AI

Lineage

DarkHorseITlineage.SiliconValleyback-end.

Jeff Carney runs DarkHorse IT from Moorhead, Minnesota. 30+ years in IT operations, network engineering, and security. The same team that keeps small business infrastructure running quietly now builds AI integration the same way.

For security-sensitive work, we retain a Silicon Valley engineering team. They review the architecture, harden the integrations, and verify the threat model before anything ships to a client.
