Will AI cite mbqs.com.au?

AI Visibility Score, last checked Oct 11, 2026.

AI Visibility Score
30/100

Niche construction consultancy with zero genuine third-party brand mentions; invisible to AI engines despite solid on-page structure.

8/100
Entity authority
57/100
On-page

Extremely unlikely to be cited by any AI engine. The 11 third-party domains found all reference unrelated entities (maternal behavior research, quantum benchmarking, RV specs, a Scottish company) – none mention this Australian/UK quantity surveying firm. Without independent press, reviews, or web mentions establishing this brand exists, AI models have no corpus signal to draw from, regardless of on-page quality.

Entity authority

How much AI already trusts you across the web. The biggest driver of citations, and the hardest to DIY.

Brand mentions & press (share of voice)
8/100

Zero genuine third-party mentions found; all 11 domains reference unrelated entities (maternal behavior research tools, quantum benchmarking, recreational vehicle specs, a different Scottish company) with the same acronym.

Fix: Earn editorial mentions by publishing original construction industry data, contributing expert commentary to trade publications, securing case study features on client sites, or getting listed in industry directories and comparison sites that cover quantity surveying firms.

Knowledge Panel & entity clarity
15/100

No Google Knowledge Panel present, and the brand does not own its branded search (not in top 3 for its own name), indicating weak entity recognition despite clear Organization schema.

Fix: Build consistent citations across construction industry directories, ensure NAP consistency across all platforms, actively maintain social profiles listed in schema, and pursue press coverage to help Google establish entity confidence.

Wikipedia & reference-corpus presence
0/100

The Wikipedia match found is a disambiguation page for the acronym, not about this company; no presence in reference corpora that AI engines draw from.

Fix: Focus first on earning third-party mentions and press coverage; Wikipedia presence follows notability and is not directly achievable, but industry publication features and trade press coverage build the foundation.

On-page extractability

How easily AI can read, understand and quote this specific page.

Information gain (original data & quotes)
35/100

Page contains service descriptions and process explanations common to the industry, with client testimonials, but lacks original data, proprietary research, unique statistics, or quotable insights not found elsewhere.

Fix: Publish original construction cost benchmarking data, delay analysis case studies with specific metrics, or industry surveys that provide unique statistics other sites and AI engines would reference.

Extractable structure (answer-first, lists, tables)
72/100

Strong answer-first structure with clear service sections, numbered process steps, bulleted service lists, and an FAQ section; content is well-organized and extractable.

Freshness
25/100

Client reviews show recent dates (one week to two months ago), but no article publication dates, last-updated timestamps, or content freshness signals visible on the main page.

Fix: Add visible last-updated dates to service sections, publish dated blog posts or case studies, and display timestamps on any dynamic content to signal currency to both users and AI crawlers.

Technical eligibility (crawlable, AI bots allowed)
95/100

Server-rendered content with 488 words visible to crawlers, no AI bot blocking detected in robots.txt, and site is technically accessible to all major AI engines.

Schema & on-page E-E-A-T
68/100

Comprehensive Organization and WebSite schema present with contact details, service areas, and social profiles, but no named individual authors or professional credentials visible on the page content itself.

Fix: Add bylines with named quantity surveyors, display professional credentials (RICS, AIQS memberships), and include Person schema for key team members to strengthen expertise signals.

Add original data or a direct quoteDIY

Information gain is the top causal on-page lever (+22-41% in controlled tests). Add a stat, benchmark or quote no other page has. Restating consensus barely helps.

Show a real, recent update dateDIY

AI-cited content is ~26% fresher on average; Perplexity leans hardest on recency. Refresh commercial pages every 60-90 days with a genuine last-updated date.

Don’t waste time on

  • ✕Obsessing over schema / JSON-LD. Controlled before/after tests show it has no causal lift on AI citations. Keep it for normal Google rich results, but do not over-invest expecting AI to cite you because of it.
  • ✕Adding an llms.txt file. AI crawlers do not read it (Google confirmed; ~0.1% of AI-bot requests hit it). It is speculative, not a ranking factor.
  • ✕Chasing word count. Correlation between length and AI citation is ~0.04 (basically none). Originality and structure beat length every time.
