In the AI era, if AI cannot read you, you do not exist.
Making SMEs and professionals visible to AI agents.
- AI agents (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) are the new gateway to information discovery
- Users increasingly ask AI before search engines
- Most websites built for visual users, not machine comprehension
- Creates new digital divide: AI-visible vs AI-invisible
- Websites crawlable but not understandable
- Content lacks structure and semantic meaning
- Information buried in images, PDFs, unstructured text
- <1% of websites are fully AI-ready
This is not a marketing problem. This is a data structure problem.
- No schema / structured data
- No semantic clarity
- Legacy website design
- SME Owners — basic website, limited digital knowledge, depend on discovery
- Professionals/Founders — personal branding sites, want visibility
