The core offer
The AI Shortlist Visibility
Snapshot
~25 real buyer questions, put to Claude and Perplexity through their APIs, five runs per question, plus a five-question ChatGPT spot-check run by hand with screenshots. You get who is on the list, who is not, why, and the ten fixes to make first.
Most people start with Setup and come here next.
The call takes fifteen minutes, and an invoice follows by email.
What's included
Every deliverable sits on the same three-stage framework we publish on the Method page.
Crawler-access check for 17 named AI bots · hosting platform check, because Vercel, Cloudflare, and shared hosts all ship settings that can block AI crawlers, and the refusal lands in a security log rather than anywhere you would normally look · raw-HTML readability of your key pages.
Question-by-question answer table from Claude and Perplexity, five runs each, plus the ChatGPT spot-check screenshots · competitor inclusion map · buyer-journey stage map showing where you vanish: exploring vs. comparing vs. deciding.
Citation and source map, showing which sites the engines actually believe in your market, ranked by how often they are cited, and whether you are on them.
Top-10 fixes, ordered by revenue relevance and how much work each takes · 1-page executive summary · 30-minute readout call. Written so you can do the fixes yourself.
How it works
Book a call
The call takes fifteen minutes. We walk through your free check, show you who AI names for your service today, and take down your services, area and competitors. We build the question set from that and send it to you before anything runs.
We run it
Every question goes to Claude and Perplexity through their APIs, five runs each, which produces a reproducible log with every citation URL. Five of the questions are put to ChatGPT by hand in a browser and screenshotted, because its API does not return what a real user is shown. Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode are not measured: there is no official API for them yet, and we say so rather than guess.
Report delivered
The full report reaches your inbox: what each engine said, the citation log, the ChatGPT screenshots, and the top-10 fix list.
30-min call
We walk the fix list together. The report is yours either way.
Who it is for
Good fit
Service businesses that buyers research before hiring, such as practices, consultancies, and specialty firms. You have real competitors and a real website.
Not a fit
You want guaranteed rankings, which nobody honest sells · you need a new website built · you run walk-in retail and your buyers do not research first.
What happens after
Most clients stop at the Snapshot and do the fixes themselves, because the list is written so they can. If you would rather we did it, the Fix Sprint implements the top ten for $2,500, and this $750 credits 100% toward it for 60 days, so you would pay $1,750.
If you would rather not think about any of this again, the Care plan is $200 per month: we keep the files and settings current, re-check monthly, and make one small page change a month.
A Re-Snapshot that re-runs the same questions later, and a Citation Builder for third-party listings, exist as follow-on work and are quoted in writing. Neither has a page yet.
Common questions
Why not just use a $29/month tool?
You can, and they are real products. But you still have to invent your own question set, interpret the charts, and work out the fixes alone. The Snapshot is the opposite. A person builds the questions from your actual buyers, reads every answer, and hands you a fix list in priority order with a walkthrough call.
AI answers change every day, so is a snapshot even valid?
That variance is real, which is why we run each question five times on Claude and Perplexity and report how stable the result was instead of picking one lucky screenshot. The Method page shows exactly how we handle it.
Do you guarantee results?
No. Nobody can guarantee a generative answer, and every credible buyer guide lists guaranteed placement as the first red flag. We sell measurement and a fix list, not a promise.
Who actually does the work?
One senior analyst with 15+ years of direct and secondary market research and advanced training in SEO and answer-engine optimization, working with a purpose-built measurement pipeline. The same person who runs the analysis writes the report and takes the readout call. Nothing is handed to a junior.
I have more than one website. Does the price cover all of them?
No. Every price on this site is for one website at one domain. That includes its www and non-www forms and any old domains that only redirect to it. A second brand site, a second country site, or a separate site on a subdomain, like a shop or a blog built on its own platform, is a second domain and is priced separately. If you have several, tell us on the call. We quote the set in writing, and the per-site price comes down as the count goes up.
