When Someone Asks AI
"Who's The Expert In Your Field?" Does Your Name Appear?
We build the branding, digital presence, and structured authority signals that make your business the answer when AI is asked about your industry.
Our Mission
When your customers turn to ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Gemini, or other AI platforms and ask "Who are the leading experts in this field?" our brand should be part of the answer.
HummingDe Consultancy is an AI authority and brand strategy firm helping businesses prepare for the future of search. We integrate branding, website ecosystems, content strategy, media visibility, and GEO to strengthen how AI platforms understand, reference, and recommend your brand.
As search evolves from links to answers, we help businesses build authority that compounds over time.
What can I help with?
The New Gatekeepers
AI platforms now decide
who gets recommended.
180M+ users ask ChatGPT for recommendations daily. If your name and expertise aren't in its training data and web citations, you won't be suggested — no matter how good you are.
Perplexity answers questions with live citations. It actively cites sources — meaning structured, authoritative content about you gets surfaced directly to decision-makers.
Google's AI-generated answers now appear above all organic results. Appearing here requires structured authority signals — expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness that AI can verify.
Widely adopted in enterprise and professional settings. Claude is used by executives and companies for research and vendor discovery. Being cited here reaches high-value decision-makers.
Gemini is deeply integrated into Google Search, Gmail, and Workspace. Optimising for Gemini means your brand appears in the daily tools that professionals use — naturally and repeatedly.
Copilot is the default AI on millions of Windows and Microsoft 365 devices. Corporate buyers, procurement teams, and executives encounter it daily — making it a critical B2B discovery channel.
Why Now Matters
AI-era authority
is being claimed
right now.
Building authority used to take a decade of word-of-mouth.
With the right GEO strategy, your name can appear
in AI recommendations within 6–12 months.
The window is closing fast.
Those who move first will own the most visible positions.
Those who wait will spend years catching up.

What Is
AI Authority?
AI Authority is how well AI systems recognize, understand, trust, and recommend your brand across digital search environments.
DISCOVER MOREThe Reality You're Facing
A prospect Googles your name.
Nothing meaningful comes up.
First impressions happen before you meet. If search results are empty or generic, you don't exist — and the deal goes elsewhere.
Someone asks AI to recommend an expert.
Your competitor appears. Not you.
AI recommends people with a structured digital footprint. No content strategy means AI has nothing to cite — you're invisible by default.
You've spent years building expertise.
Only people who already know you, know it.
Professional expertise and digital authority are two different things. You need both to be discovered by the right people at the right time.
High-value opportunities pass you by.
Because you're not in their line of sight.
Speaking invites, partnerships, media features and inbound clients — all of these find the people who show up online. Not the best-kept secrets.
