The label “AI search company” gets applied loosely. These are the questions that actually separate real AI search work from a rebranded SEO report.
The label “AI search company” gets applied loosely, so the useful questions focus on method, not terminology. Does the firm monitor AI citations directly, using tools built for that purpose, or does it only report on Google rank and assume AI visibility follows? Does it maintain schema markup and confirm the site is fully crawlable to AI bots, or does it leave that to whatever the website’s original developer set up years ago?
A second set of questions covers judgment and oversight. Ask how the firm handles factual verification before publishing updates. Ask what happens when a page’s AI citations drop even though its Google ranking hasn’t moved, since that’s an increasingly common and easy-to-miss failure pattern. Searchfish answers both directly: citation tracking and technical monitoring run continuously, and any substantive change to a client’s page goes through review before it’s published.

earns AI citations and listings, and grows your business.
