The nationwide debut of Generative Search Visibility™ (GSV) marks a groundbreaking advancement in digital marketing, introducing the first directory built specifically for inclusion in AI search results. Created by Frank Masotti, founder of Cedar Walk Services Inc., GSV pioneers a new discipline Generative Search Optimization (GSO) which ensures that businesses are discoverable within responses generated by large language models (LLMs) and AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini.
Unlike traditional SEO, which relies on search algorithms, keyword density, and backlinks, GSO focuses on influencing how AI systems generate answers and reference brands within those responses. The launch of GSV provides a structured, verifiable way for businesses to establish visibility directly within the rapidly expanding ecosystem of generative AI search.

“Other SEO and link-building agencies can’t prove AI inclusion GSV can,” said Frank Masotti, the creator of GSV. “With verifiable AI exposure, businesses finally gain clarity on how generative systems see, understand, and present their brands to users.”
A Verified Bridge to the Generative Web
GSV currently spans all lower 48 states and supports multiple industries, making it the first generative-indexable business directory of its kind. Each listing in the GSV directory offers tangible proof of placement through screenshots, timestamps, and tracking reports that confirm when and where a business appears in AI-generated answers. Within 24 hours, subscribers can view confirmation that their companies are being recognized by generative systems a level of transparency never before seen in online marketing.
According to Masotti, GSV was created to address a pivotal shift in how consumers search online. As people increasingly use conversational AI platforms instead of conventional search engines, businesses that fail to adapt risk losing visibility altogether. GSV provides a remedy by establishing a measurable, verifiable presence inside generative search ecosystems.
The platform’s Browse by State feature allows visitors to explore businesses that have already secured AI inclusion nationwide, helping consumers discover verified companies at the forefront of the generative web. Every listing receives equal opportunity for AI recognition, ensuring fair representation across industries and locations.

Redefining the Future of Search Visibility
GSV distinguishes itself from traditional SEO and link‑building agencies by offering proof‑based outcomes rather than speculative ranking improvements. Each GSV subscription includes detailed AI analytics and visibility reports, confirming when large language models first begin citing a business within generated responses. This level of accountability provides marketing professionals and business owners with actionable insights into how their brands are interpreted and indexed by emerging AI systems.
The official national launch is being distributed through major media channels including APNews, Business Insider, Yahoo, and more than 150 Google News affiliates, emphasizing the growing importance of AI visibility as the next evolution in digital marketing.
Beyond serving individual businesses, GSV also empowers marketing agencies to offer white‑label GSO services to clients. Agencies can manage multiple business listings, track inclusion progress, and deliver proof‑of‑placement reports that demonstrate real AI visibility.
By combining analytics, automation, and verifiable transparency, Generative Search Visibility™ gives businesses and agencies alike the tools to secure their place in the new era of AI‑driven discovery.
