Will AI recommend my brand, or just cite it?
Both outcomes exist, and only one sells. A citation puts your URL in the sources panel; a recommendation puts your brand name in the answer buyers actually read. Jolly Search campaigns are measured on recommendations, engine by engine. The difference is explained in the
AI Visibility FAQ.
Why do competitors show up in ChatGPT when we don't?
Usually because their brand has several independent sources saying the same thing about it, and yours does not yet. The other common causes are chasing informational prompts that never trigger brand recommendations, a website that does not hold up when an AI engine checks who you are, and technical blocks such as a CDN turning away AI crawlers.
Which channels does Jolly Search use to build AI visibility?
Jolly Search builds AI visibility through Reddit threads, AI-optimized YouTube videos, LinkedIn posts and articles, onsite content on your own domain, and earned branded backlinks from high-authority publications. Those channels are combined because AI engines recommend brands that several independent sources agree on.
How long before we see results?
First movement usually takes days to weeks, which is faster than classic SEO. Jolly Search has documented a YouTube video entering Google AI Overviews in about 48 hours, a blog post cited by ChatGPT within 72 hours, and a client going from absent to recommended on seven AI surfaces in 19 days. Competitive categories take longer.
What does an AI visibility campaign cost?
Jolly Search campaigns run from $697 to $14,997 per month, depending on how many prompts and channels a brand needs. Own Your Category is $4,997 per month for one Target Prompt and $14,997 for three. Single channels start at $2,497 per month for Reddit, $3,797 for YouTube and $697 for LinkedIn. Every price is a monthly subscription.
What makes Jolly Search different from other agencies?
Jolly Search measures whether AI engines recommend your brand for the prompts that drive revenue, proven engine by engine with Day 0 versus present-day evidence. The AI visibility assets are made by people on the team, and they sit on top of an earned linkbuilding operation that has delivered 25,000+ placements for ecommerce, B2B software, lenders and professional services brands.
