Executive Summary

A snapshot of where Spatial Decisions stands in the AI search era — and the opportunity cost of the current gap.

0 / 4 AI Platforms Citing You
DR 21 Domain Authority (Ahrefs)
1 Keywords Ranking
5 / 5 Competitors Winning AI Results

Spatial Decisions has 25+ years of GIS consulting expertise, offices spanning India, Vietnam, Canada and Dubai, and project credentials with the ADB and World Bank — yet when a government planner or development agency asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AIO for the best GIS consulting firm for urban planning, Esri, Trimble, Hexagon and Cyient are recommended instead. The expertise is world-class; the AI narrative is invisible.

Critical Gaps Identified

  • 01
    Near-Zero Organic Footprint Only 1 ranking keyword and 0 monthly organic visits — AI models have almost no indexed content to learn from. Competitors like Esri (DR 91) and Cyient (DR 67) dominate every category query.
  • 02
    No Third-Party Authority Signals 52 referring domains vs. thousands for every listed competitor. Spatial Decisions is absent from GIS industry listicles, Clutch/G2 profiles, and the comparison articles that train LLMs.
  • 03
    Missing Category Content No FAQ pages, no "best GIS firm for..." content, no comparison pages, no thought-leadership articles indexed by search engines. AI platforms have no structured data to cite.

AI Platform Audit

We tested how Spatial Decisions appears when potential clients ask AI tools to recommend GIS and geospatial consulting providers. Here's what we found.

🤖

ChatGPT

Not Cited

ChatGPT defaults to Esri, Trimble, Hexagon and global GIS platforms. Spatial Decisions does not surface even in region-specific queries.

🔍

Google AI Overviews

Not Appearing

Google AIO results for GIS consulting and smart city queries list Egis, Cyient, RMSI and Urban SDK — Spatial Decisions is absent.

Perplexity

Not Cited

Perplexity draws from web-indexed content. With only 1 ranking keyword, Spatial Decisions has no footprint for Perplexity to cite.

💎

Gemini

Not Cited

Gemini recommendations mirror Google’s organic index. Zero organic traffic means zero Gemini visibility.

Overall AI Visibility Score

0 / 4 platforms currently surface Spatial Decisions in relevant AI-generated recommendations.

What AI Platforms Need to Cite You

Structured authority content, third-party mentions on GIS industry directories, case study pages, FAQ schema, and consistent brand signals across Clutch, G2, and geospatial publications.

Queries We Tested

We ran the exact searches your potential clients use when asking AI tools to recommend a GIS consulting partner. Here's who appeared — and whether Spatial Decisions was in the answer.

The Pattern

Spatial Decisions is absent from every tested query — across all four AI platforms. Despite 25 years of expertise, the firm has virtually no digital content indexed for the buyer-intent queries that drive AI recommendations.

The Opportunity

Building 8–10 structured service pages (“GIS for urban planning”, “smart city consulting Vietnam”), publishing case studies, and securing listings on Clutch and GIS industry directories would create the content foundation AI platforms need to cite you.

Hexagon 82 Cited Appearing Cited Smart city and autonomous solutions content positions them as the enterprise GIS leader.
Cyient 67 Cited Appearing Cited India-origin firm with strong smart city GIS narrative; Clutch/G2 profiles + case studies drive AI citations.
RMSI 41 Partial Partial Partial Despite lower DR, wins partial AI mentions through GIS directory listings and focused service pages.
