AI Visibility Advisory for SaaS, Hosting & Ad-Tech Businesses
Advised teams at WPX, JetHost, Mondiad, SitePro & 100+ companies
Your Buyers Ask AI Before They Visit Your Website
When a CTO compares software or infrastructure providers, or a media buyer shortlists ad networks and tracking tools, the first answer increasingly comes from Google AI Search, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity. These assistants recommend a handful of companies and skip the rest.
If AI doesn’t mention you, you’re not on the buyers’ shortlist, no matter how well you rank on traditional Google search.
Advisory, Not an Agency
My name is Daniel Stanica, and I’ve spent over 20 years in development, SEO, and competitive intelligence. Since 2024, I’ve focused on AI Visibility for SaaS, hosting, and ad-tech companies.
I diagnose how AI systems see your brand, benchmark you against competitors, and give your team a prioritized plan to improve. You keep control of execution. For companies that want continuity, I also take on a small number of ongoing advisory clients.
No templated reports, tool exports, or outsourced execution. Just clear, senior guidance your team can act on. More about me and the COMPETICO approach

1-on-1 Consulting (Paid)
Dedicated time with me and your team to work through specific problems: why competitors get cited instead of you, how AI models describe your brand, and what to prioritize next.
Step 2: Diagnose & Plan

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI Visibility?
AI Visibility is how often, and how accurately, AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Search mention, describe, and recommend your company, products, and services when buyers ask about them. It covers whether you appear, what AI says about you, and which competitors it names instead.
Why does AI Visibility matter for SaaS and digital companies?
Tech buyers now shortlist vendors through AI before they visit a website. If an assistant names three hosting providers or tracking tools and you’re not one of them, you may never be evaluated. Tech buyers rely on AI for vendor research more than buyers in almost any other industry.
Is AI Visibility just SEO with a new name like GEO and AEO?
GEO (generative engine optimization) and AEO (answer engine optimization) are other names for the same discipline. It builds on SEO but isn’t the same thing. SEO earns rankings and clicks, while AI Visibility is about whether AI systems trust and recommend your brand, which depends on how consistently your company is described across your site, reviews, comparisons, and third-party sources. Strong SEO is the foundation, and AI Visibility is the layer on top.
How do AI assistants decide which companies to recommend?
They combine what the model learned in training with live web results, and they lean on sources they consider credible: comparison articles, review sites, industry publications, documentation, and community discussions. Brands that are described clearly and consistently across those sources get recommended more often. I map which sources shape the answers in your category and where you’re missing.
Can't I just use an AI visibility tool?
AI Visibility Tools are useful for monitoring, and I use them. But a tool tells you that you’re missing something in an answer, not why or what to change first. Adding the data to an AI assistant will give you recommendations. My work is the diagnosis and the decisions: what’s holding you back, what matters to improve, and what to prioritize.
Which AI platforms do you cover?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Search (AI Overviews and AI Mode).
How do you measure AI Visibility?
I test the questions your buyers actually ask across multiple AI platforms, many times. AI answers change from run to run, so a single “position” means very little. What’s reliable is how often you appear across many runs, how you’re described, which competitors appear instead, and which sources get cited. I report trends in those and the share of voice, not a single score.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT or Google AI Search will recommend us?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls what AI models say. What I can do is show you exactly why you’re not being recommended, fix what you can control, and measure whether your share of AI answers improves.
How long does it take to see results?
You’ll have a diagnosis and a prioritized plan within 4 weeks. How fast visibility changes depends on how quickly your team implements and how competitive your category is. Fixes to your own site and positioning can show up within weeks, while building authority in third-party sources takes longer. I’ll give you realistic expectations for your situation on the first call.
How much does it cost?
The discovery call is free. Paid 1-on-1 consulting is $299. The AI Visibility Report is $1,695; the Complete Audit starts at $ 2,895; and the Complete Strategy is $2,495. You can bundle the Audit and Strategy at a discount.
Who do you work with?
Mainly SaaS, hosting, and ad-tech companies, plus businesses in the WordPress ecosystem and digital finance. Past clients include WPX, JetHost, Mondiad, SitePro, and RedTrack. If your buyers research and compare options before they buy, AI Visibility matters for you.
Where should I start?
