The Problem
Buyers ask AI now — and it's recommending someone

A fast-growing share of your buyers now get answers straight from AI — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google's own AI Overviews & AI Mode. You still have to rank in classic search, but now you have to win the answer too — and you've no idea if it names you or your competitor.

The new surface

Search now happens in two places

Your buyers still scroll Google's results — but a fast-growing share now take the AI answer at face value. That's a whole new surface to win, and most brands aren't even watching it.

  • AI answers, not just ten blue links
  • AI Overviews sit above your organic results
  • No click if the answer doesn't name you
The loss

AI is recommending your competitors

Every AI answer names a handful of brands. Each time you're not one, a rival wins the mention, the trust, and the click — before the buyer ever reaches your site.

  • Answers name 3–5 brands — miss the list, lose the deal
  • Competitors cited on prompts you should own
  • Brand mentions you never see shaping buyer trust
The gap

Most tools win one surface, not both

SEO suites optimize for Google and ignore AI. AI trackers watch AI but can't create anything. You're left winning half the battle and stitching the rest together by hand.

  • SEO suites: Google-only, blind to AI
  • AI trackers: charts, but no content or fixes
  • You stitch two half-solutions together
AI VisibilitySee what AI tells your buyers — and whether you're in the answer.

We run the questions your buyers actually ask across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews — then score your visibility, share of voice, and how AI talks about you. Every week.

Site Audit

Find what's holding your rankings back.

Connect your site and we run a full technical SEO audit — every page crawled, scored, and sorted by severity — so you fix the issues search engines penalize before they cost you traffic.

Step 01

We crawl your whole site

Every page, checked for the technical issues that quietly cap your rankings — sitemap, indexing, SSL, broken links.

The backlink problem

You know you need backlinks. You dread getting them.

Cold emails nobody answers. Agencies quoting thousands. Guest-post “marketplaces” that are just link farms. So most founders don't — and their rankings stall. Then you flip one switch.
