# Gemini Visibility

> Gemini visibility is how often Google's Gemini assistant names or cites your business. Gemini grounds many answers in Google Search, so it depends on the same index, entity and local data as Google, plus a robots.txt choice called Google-Extended that controls some Gemini uses of your content without affecting Search.

Gemini sits inside Android, Chrome and Google Workspace. For many of your customers it is the assistant that is already open.

## Why it matters now
Because Gemini leans on Google's index and knowledge graph, strong Google SEO and a consistent Google Business Profile carry directly into Gemini answers. Blocking the wrong control can quietly remove you from some of them.

## What is included
- Gemini prompt testing for services, locations and comparisons
- Google-Extended review with a plain explanation of the tradeoff
- Knowledge graph and entity consistency checks
- Google Business Profile alignment with website facts
- Content updates for questions Gemini answers about your market
- Monthly Gemini visibility tracking

## How we do it
1. **Test.** Ask Gemini what buyers ask and log the answer and sources.
2. **Align entities.** Make your name, services and locations consistent across Google surfaces.
3. **Strengthen pages.** Improve the pages Gemini should rely on for each question.
4. **Track.** Re-test monthly and connect changes to Search Console data.

## Deliverables
- Gemini answer audit
- Entity and profile fixes
- Page improvements
- Monthly tracking

## Who it is for
- Local businesses with Android-heavy customer bases
- Companies using Google Workspace in B2B sales
- Brands with inconsistent Google data

## Frequently asked questions
### Does blocking Google-Extended remove us from Google Search?

No. Google states that Google-Extended does not affect inclusion or ranking in Google Search, including AI Overviews. It controls whether content is used for some Gemini model and grounding purposes.

### Is Gemini visibility the same as ranking on Google?

They are closely related but not identical. Gemini can phrase recommendations differently and weigh entity and review data heavily, so we test it separately.
