The starting point

Your customers no longer search. They ask AI.

45% of consumers asked an AI to recommend a local business, against 6% a year earlier.

“A good café near here?” is now put to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Claude. And an AI only names a few places: that is where you need to be.

The module, on one screen

Your place in AI answers, and what moves it up.

Lecy AI Visibility screen: the shop’s place in AI answers goes from 4th to 2nd, visibility score 72, radar of recommendation criteria against a competitor, and a success example: a juice bar in Belgium, Google rating from 3.5 to 4.8, 365 customers signed up, 668 proven visits.
Illustration (in French): the screen shows an example shop. The success example is real: one outlet of a juice-bar network in Belgium, Google rating recorded in late August and on 16 October 2026, sign-ups and visits as of 15 October.

The directory

Being in the directory used to be enough. Now you have to be in the answer.

The directory listed everyone. An AI only gives a few names. Your customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude where to go: Lecy shows you what they answer, and helps you climb in their answers.

AEO or SEO

AEO is not SEO. To an AI, what people say about you weighs more than your links.

SEO tries to rank a page in a list of links. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) tries to get your shop named in an AI’s answer. The levers are not the same.

United States · 2026

Frequently asked questions

What is AEO?

Being cited in the answers of AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude) when people ask for advice without naming a brand. SEO aims for a place in a list of links; AEO, for a place in the answer.

What does the Lecy AI marketing agent do?

It reads the AIs’ answers and your reviews, ranks the actions by points to gain and prepares every text: review replies, posts, profile description and attributes, corrections. You approve; nothing goes out without you.

Do I need to connect my Google profile?

No. The module reads what is public: your profile, your reviews, your website and the engines’ answers. Nothing to install.

What makes the score rise?

To our knowledge, in this order: recent, regular reviews, a complete Google profile, a website readable by AI crawlers, and local guides that cite you.

How is this different from an AI visibility tracking tool?

To our knowledge, those tools measure. Lecy measures too, and brings the material that weighs most: recent reviews, left at every visit thanks to the tag.

Is Lecy an AI visibility agency?

No. No service contract, no hand-written monthly report: a module of the subscription that measures every month what AIs answer about your shop and prepares the actions. You approve; nothing goes out without you.
