Ongoing research from Evoke Strategy
Florida AI Visibility Research
How visible are Florida businesses when buyers ask AI systems who to consider? We study that question across major industries statewide and within individual local markets.
AI visibility is the measurable outcome. The broader work is often described as AI search optimization, AI SEO, GEO or AEO. Our research focuses on what actually happens when real buyer-style questions are asked.
The research program
Two views of the same shift in business discovery
A statewide industry can behave very differently from a local market. Looking at both gives us a better picture of where AI-assisted discovery is concentrated, where it is fragmented and how much the answer changes by platform or buyer question.
One industry across Florida
These studies examine how AI systems recommend businesses within a specific Florida industry. They are useful for understanding category-level visibility, concentration and platform behavior across the state.
Many industries inside one Florida market
Our city research looks at a consistent set of industries within an individual Florida market, showing how local AI visibility changes depending on what kind of business someone is trying to find.

What the research is designed to answer
AI visibility is not one universal result
The useful questions are not just whether a business appeared once. We also look at how consistently the same businesses reappear, whether changing the buyer question changes the answer, how platforms differ and how much visibility varies by industry.
That gives businesses a more practical way to think about AI-assisted discovery. A company may be easy to find by name and still be absent when someone asks for recommendations before they know which businesses to consider.

Frequently asked questions
About Florida AI Visibility Research
What is Florida AI Visibility Research?
It is Evoke Strategy’s ongoing research program examining how Florida businesses appear in AI-assisted discovery. The program includes statewide industry studies and local-market studies.
Is AI visibility the same as AI search optimization?
We use AI search optimization as the broader discipline and AI visibility as the measurable outcome. AI SEO, GEO and AEO are related terms used for overlapping parts of the work.
Do all of the reports use exactly the same methodology?
No. The research question is consistent, but the business universe, platform set and study design can vary by report. Each published report includes its own methodology so readers can interpret the findings in context.
Does the research rank the best Florida businesses?
No. The research measures discoverability in the tested AI responses. It does not judge business quality, reputation or suitability.
