We don’t guess what AI says. We record it.
A real buyer search, captured live. Every audit keeps receipts like this for your own queries.
- The ask. A buyer types what yours type every day.
- The answer. AI names a shortlist in seconds, with sources.
- The gap. Names blurred here. Your audit shows exactly who, and why them.

The gap is mechanical.
Same city, same services. One business is simply easier for AI to find and vouch for.
AI-visibility scores from our live July 2026 audit batch, out of 100. One batch so far — med spas, Atlanta. The mechanism is identical for every local trade.

How it works
From invisible to cited.
Audit
We run your business against 15 to 20 of the real AI searches your customers make, and show you exactly where you're invisible and who's named instead.
Setup
We build what the audit prescribes: schema, your Google profile, the directories AI reads, and answer-content for your top services.
Monthly citations
We track every engine, publish a fresh answer-content sprint each month, and send you a one-page report of who keeps coming up, now including you.
One page. Where you actually stand.
We run the real searches your customers make and put the answer in front of you: your citation rate, who gets named instead, and every engine, tracked.
- Your score.
- Cited in how many of your target searches, at a glance.
- Named instead.
- The competitors AI hands your customers today.
- Every engine.
- ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, re-run every month.

Questions
The questions owners actually ask.
I already have an SEO company. Isn't this the same thing?
They're related but they're different games. SEO gets you ranked on the results page; AEO gets you cited inside the AI's answer, and those don't always line up. A page ranking #4 can be the one ChatGPT quotes, and a #1 ranking can be skipped entirely. Ask your SEO provider whether they're optimizing your schema and entity signals for AI answer engines specifically. If they are, you're ahead. If not, that's the gap we fill, and the audit shows exactly where.
I've been burned by marketing people before. Why is this different?
Fair: most owners have. Two differences. First, you can verify the whole premise yourself, free, right now: ask ChatGPT to name the best business in your trade and city, and listen to whose name it says. Second, our monthly deliverable is that same test, re-run in writing. If the name in the answer never becomes yours, you'll see it in black and white, and you fire us. That's the whole product.
Does this actually work, or is it a fad?
Test it in ten seconds: open ChatGPT and ask for the best business in your trade and city. It'll name two or three. That's not a fad; that's a customer choosing who to call. For Setup and Retainer clients we back it with a written guarantee: if our tracker doesn't record your business named in an AI answer within 8 weeks of setup, your retainer is free until it does.
Who else have you done this for? Can I talk to a client?
Straight answer: you'd be among our first outside clients. That's exactly why the guarantee exists and why the pricing is founder-tier. We built the system first and ran it on two live businesses, including our own family's shop, Tobacco Shack, and a bilingual real-estate brokerage. The tracker, the schema builds, and the answer-content playbook we'd point at your business are the ones running there today.
Which AI assistants do you actually track?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, the four your customers are most likely to ask, plus manual Google AI Overviews spot-checks with screenshots each month. We query the engines on a repeatable schedule as a controlled proxy for what a real customer sees; consumer answers shuffle run to run, and managing that variance is part of the job.
How much does it cost?
The audit is free, and it's the same report we'd run before doing any work anyway: you get a clear before-picture and a plan, with no obligation to continue. If you want us to fix what it finds, we price the setup and the monthly work once the audit shows what your specific situation needs, and it's founder-tier because you'd be among our first outside clients. Most owners spend more every month on ads that stop the second they stop paying; visibility compounds instead.
I'm too busy to take on another project.
That's the point of doing it done-for-you. The audit takes none of your time; we run it from the outside, the way your customers see you. Setup and the monthly work happen on our side; you approve, we execute. You're busy because the phone still rings. This is about it still ringing in two years, when more of your customers ask AI instead of scrolling Google.
