We measure. We decide. We execute.

Periscopy shows where AI decides against you. The team does the work that changes the decision: technical, editorial and authority. Every action gets a date and a reading before and after.

Three formats

Conversation first. Fixed number after.

We do not start with recommendations. We start by measuring what eleven AI engines and surfaces answer today when someone asks for your category, with our own software, and we keep measuring so the effect of every action is visible.

The package · flagship in AI, full foundation

We measure the AI layer. We build the foundation that holds it up.

Measurement comes first: our own technology watching the engines every week, from the Portuguese market. But we do not sell it on its own. We deliver the whole package of being found: technical SEO, local SEO, reputation, and the AI layer on top. Agencies tell you what they think; we show you what the engines answer, and deliver the plan the numbers dictate, ready to execute and with proof action by action.

★ Flagship · Visibility in AI (GEO)

Showing up when people ask AI about your category.

Measuring and building your presence inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. Citation rate, share of voice, entity authority. It is the work most agencies still do not know how to do, and it is what put us on the map.

Foundation · Technical SEO

The foundation AI reads.

Indexing, schema, performance, extractable HTML, architecture. Without this, the best AI strategy has nowhere to be read from. Google confirmed in 2026 that its AI features rest on its core ranking systems.

Foundation · Local SEO

For brands with an address.

Google Business Profile, reviews, consistent NAP, maps, LocalBusiness schema, local directories. What AI and Google use to answer questions with local intent.

Foundation · Reputation

What people say about you.

Reviews, mentions and sentiment in forums and social networks, distilled by theme. Google Reviews for brands with a physical space, Reddit and public reviews for digital ones. Models read reputation before they recommend.

Foundation · Digital presence

For those who live online.

SaaS, software, platforms, websites, e-commerce. Citable content, topical authority, the full technical infrastructure to be found and recommended.

The same team that builds Periscopy builds your presence: measurement engineering on top, a technical and local SEO foundation underneath.

Method · 4 phases

Four phases. No black box. Everything documented.

We do not sell magic. We sell a plan that is readable, executable and comparable against results. International platforms measure visibility; what is missing is rarely data: it is someone who knows what to do with it in European Portuguese, in your sector, in your sales cycle. We work in that layer, accountable for the final number.

What we execute

Ten fronts of work. All measured.

Appearing in AI answers is not one job. It is technical work on the site, authority built outside it, and measurement that tells the two apart. A partner who only does the first will show you a clean audit and a flat curve.

01

Advanced schema

Structured data that tells the machine what the brand is, what it sells and where it is.

In detail

Organization, Service, Product, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList and Person, in a nested @graph with real semantic links between entities, not a pile of disconnected blocks.

02

FAQ engineering

Answers to the buyer's real questions, in the format engines extract.

In detail

Questions structured by real search intent and written the way models quote them: a direct question, and the answer inside the first fifty to a hundred words.

03

Citable content

Original numbers, honest comparisons and a stated method: what gives an engine a reason to cite.

In detail

Pages rewritten to be extractable. Clean definitions up top, numbered lists, figures with a source, paragraphs that survive being quoted alone.

04

AI crawler optimisation

GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot let in, and the site readable by them.

In detail

llms.txt, ai.txt and robots.txt configured for every known AI crawler. LCP under 2.5s. Semantic HTML, with nothing critical rendered by JavaScript.

05

Entity SEO

Wikidata, Knowledge Panel, sameAs: the brand as an entity, not just a website.

In detail

The brand's knowledge-graph work: sameAs to recognised sources, one consistent description across Wikidata, Crunchbase and LinkedIn, and links between the entities that describe you.

06

Digital PR

Presence in the publications models read and cite.

In detail

Outreach to sector publications, comparison pieces and “top X in [category]” lists. Which titles matter depends on your market, and rebuilding that list is part of the work.

07

Off-site citations

Lists, comparisons and directories that feed the category's answers.

In detail

Mentions built where models read authority: G2, Capterra, Product Hunt, sector directories, papers, transcribed podcasts.

08

Communities

The forums and subreddits where the category is discussed, room by room.

In detail

In our own Portuguese-language measurement, Reddit is the second most cited source (88 of 2,993 citations) and the most transversal, present in 13 of 14 categories, yet it dominates none: what dominates each category is a vertical community or publication (destaque.ai study, August 2026). So we do not say “get on Reddit”: we name the room, the subreddit or the forum where your category is settled, with the count of answers it fed, and the work there is qualified answers, not promotion.

09

Local signals

Google Business Profile, reviews and consistent NAP for brands with an address.

In detail

For brands with an address: a complete Google Business Profile, active review management, NAP consistent across every source, LocalBusiness schema and geographic signals on site. A different layer from the one that serves purely digital brands.

10

Continuous measurement

Periscopy every week, with history and proof by action.

In detail

Continuous monitoring: 150 to 300 target questions run periodically across 11 engines and surfaces, tracking citation rate, share of voice, sentiment, average position and the context of each citation.

The conversation became a storefront

AI already shows products, prices and ads.

Answers stopped being only text: Google AI Mode shows product panels with prices and buttons (live in Portugal), ChatGPT shows shopping carousels, and in the United States the purchase already completes inside the conversation. Next to the organic answer sits paid space. We cover both, and we say plainly what has reached Europe and what is still on its way.

Agentic commerce readiness

A shopping agent reads price, stock and delivery time from your data, not from your well-designed site. We audit and prepare the layer engines actually read: a complete and fresh Google Merchant Center feed, Product and Offer schema with shipping and returns, Merchant Center's new conversational attributes, and registration in assistant feeds as they open to Europe. The feed is the richest and freshest structured source a shop publishes, which is why optimising it moves more than one surface. Third-party measurements point to a high overlap between ChatGPT carousels and Google Shopping organic results (Search Engine Land, March 2026), which we treat as a pointer and not as a premise: what holds the work up is the mechanism, not someone else's percentage.

Paid visibility inside AI answers

On Google, ads enter AI Mode and AI Overviews from the campaigns you already run; on ChatGPT, they reach Europe from August 2026. We manage paid presence inside the answers and measure both columns in one table, paid and organic kept apart, so you can see what the ad adds to the presence you already earned. In half the engines we measure (Claude, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral) there are no ads: there, organic is the only route, and that is why no media buy replaces GEO.

Research to order

The machine behind our studies will run the question you bring.

Eleven AI engines and surfaces, personas, and every answer read one by one. The same collection behind the five studies we published, pointed at the question in your market.

JournalistsA cut of the sector you are writing on, with the denominators explained before you publish.
Universities and research centresThe data is open to everyone under CC BY 4.0, and the collection machinery is there for the next question.
CompaniesA question from your market measured properly and published. The methodology states that whoever pays for a study does not choose its result.
What we measure

11 engines and surfaces. Two routes each.

Models, queried by API

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral and Perplexity. Each one that supports it runs in two modes: what the model answers from training memory, and what it answers with live web search. The two are won differently, and reporting them together hides which lever is working.

Surfaces, as a person sees them

Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Microsoft Copilot. Queried from your country and in your language, because they return different answers per market. Measuring a British brand from a Portuguese location would produce numbers that look right and are not.

What we will not pretend
Timeline

GEO takes months, not weeks.

The training-memory route moves in months, because it depends on sources that third parties publish and models absorb. The live-search route moves in weeks. Anyone promising ChatGPT presence in thirty days is improvising.

Scope

We measure what we can measure.

Citation rate, share of voice against direct competitors, average position, sentiment, and the sources each engine cites. We do not report estimated impressions or potential reach, because those numbers are not measured, they are imagined.

Market

Our depth is Portuguese.

The published research, the case studies and the Tier-1 press relationships are Portuguese. The method transfers; the local source landscape has to be rebuilt for your market, and we would rather say that now than discover it together later.

Questions

Before you sign.

How long until there are results?

Where there is live search, weeks. In the model's memory, months. We do not promise a deadline: we measure every week and show the before and after.

Does this replace our SEO?

No. AI engines read what is indexed. We do both layers, and the technical foundation comes first.

Who does the work?

Technical delivery is in house. For one-off productions we work with trusted freelancers, always disclosed.

And if we leave?

You keep the implemented work, the full documentation and the measurement history. No hostages.
