How Carqo works
You connect your website, review what AI search says and receive drafts for your next steps.
Explain the first meeting.

You publish the change.
Website access
Your visible content, design and how customers use your site stay unchanged. Carqo does not rebuild your site, move your hosting or change your domain.
You decide which sources Carqo can read.
The steps, in order
Connect your website and your sources
Tell Carqo which website and which pages hold your business information.

Reported searches are available only for supported captures. They do not reveal every internal step.
- 01
Choose a customer question.
Start with a question about your service, product or market. Keep its wording and location with the record.
- 02
See the searches reported.
Some captures include related web searches. Others do not. Missing searches stay unavailable.

Follow the cited pages.
Read the pages linked in the answer. A cited page is evidence of a link, not proof of a recommendation.
- 04
Review the answer and your facts.
Compare what was said with the information your business can confirm. Keep the original answer beside your review.
- 05
Decide what to publish.
Plan a useful change to your own page. You review it and put it live.
AI search visibility explained
What is AI search visibility?
AI search visibility describes how a business appears in answers from AI search systems. A business can be mentioned without its website being cited.
What is the difference between a mention and a citation?
A mention names your business. A citation links to a source used in an answer. They are different signals and should be checked separately.
Does readable mean recommended?
No. Making a page accessible helps systems reach and read it. Being readable does not show that a system fetches, cites or recommends the page.
How should AI visibility be measured?
Keep the prompt, answer, source and time of each check together. Compare like with like. A visit from AI search is a separate measure and is not proof of a sale.
How do I get started?
Choose a plan or start with a free report. Plans and prices are on the pricing page.
