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 Organic Keywords Ranking
5 / 5 Competitors Winning AI Results

Spatial Decisions has 25+ years of GIS, urban planning and climate consulting expertise across India, Vietnam and Canada — yet when a government agency or development bank asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AIO for the best GIS consulting firm for urban planning, Esri, Arup and Fugro are recommended instead. The expertise is world-class; the digital narrative is invisible.

Critical Gaps Identified

  • 01
    Near-Zero Digital Footprint DR 21 with only 1 ranking keyword and 0 monthly organic traffic. Without any organic search foundation, AI models have no signal to learn from — Spatial Decisions is effectively invisible to every LLM.
  • 02
    No Third-Party Authority Signals Only 52 referring domains — compared to thousands for every listed competitor. Missing from Clutch, GoodFirms, G2, industry directories, and "best GIS firms" listicles that feed LLM training data.
  • 03
    No Category-Defining Content No comparison pages, FAQ hubs, case-study libraries or thought-leadership content. Competitors own every buyer-intent query with structured, AI-friendly content.

AI Platform Audit

We tested how Spatial Decisions appears when potential clients ask AI tools to recommend GIS and urban planning consultancies. Here's what we found.

🤖

ChatGPT

Not Cited

Defaults to Esri, Arup and Fugro for GIS/urban planning queries. Spatial Decisions is never mentioned, even for Vietnam-specific prompts.

🔍

Google AI Overviews

Not Appearing

AI Overviews surface BHSOFT, GeoViet and global brands for GIS Vietnam queries. Spatial Decisions does not appear in any tested overview.

Perplexity

Not Cited

With minimal web authority (DR 21, 0 traffic), Perplexity's citation engine has no source material to reference Spatial Decisions.

💎

Gemini

Not Cited

Gemini recommends global incumbents (Esri, Arup, Buro Happold) and omits regional specialists without strong digital presence.

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, FAQ pages, case studies, and consistent brand signals across the web — all of which competitors currently have more of.

The Pattern

Spatial Decisions is absent from every single tested query — both regional (Vietnam-specific) and global (climate, smart city). With DR 21 and zero organic traffic, AI models have no material to cite.

The Opportunity

Building 5–8 GEO-optimised service pages, securing Clutch/GoodFirms listings, and publishing case studies from your 25+ year portfolio could flip these results within 90 days.

Top 3 Quick Win Opportunities

These are the highest-leverage changes Spatial Decisions can make right now to start appearing in AI-generated recommendations within 30–90 days.

Build GEO-Optimised Service Pages

High Impact

Create dedicated, AI-structured pages for each service line — GIS Consulting, Smart City Solutions, Climate Resilience Planning, Urban Development — with FAQ schema, case-study snapshots, and clear outcome statements that LLMs can parse and cite.

Timeline: 30–45 days

Secure Industry Directory Listings

High Impact

Get listed on Clutch, GoodFirms, Sortlist and ensun.io for GIS consulting and urban planning in Vietnam. These directories are primary sources LLMs use when recommending regional consultancies — BHSOFT's Clutch listing alone drives its AI visibility.

Timeline: 14–30 days

Publish Case-Study & Thought-Leadership Library

Medium Impact

Transform 25+ years of project history into 10–15 structured case studies and thought-leadership articles targeting high-intent queries like "GIS for climate resilience in Southeast Asia" and "smart city planning Vietnam".

Timeline: 45–90 days
