The core offer
The AI Shortlist Visibility Snapshot
~25 real buyer questions, asked across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot — multiple runs each. You get who's on the list, who isn't, why, and the ten fixes that matter most.
The order form takes ~5 minutes. An invoice follows by email — nothing is charged until you've seen the executive summary.
What's included
Every deliverable sits on the same three-stage framework we publish on the Method page.
Crawler-access check for 7 named AI bots · hosting platform gate (Vercel, Cloudflare, and shared hosts all ship settings that silently block AI crawlers) · raw-HTML readability of your key pages.
Question-by-question answer table · competitor inclusion map · buyer-journey stage map showing where you vanish: exploring vs. comparing vs. deciding.
Citation/source map — which sites the engines actually believe in your market, ranked by how often they're cited, and whether you're on them.
Top-10 fixes, prioritized by revenue relevance and implementation effort · 1-page executive summary · 30-minute readout call. Written so you can do the fixes yourself.
How it works
Order + intake
A short form: your site, competitors, services, geography.
We run it
The question set is built from your buyers, then tested across 4 engines, multiple runs each.
Summary first
You see the executive summary before you're charged.
30-min call
We walk the fix list together. The report is yours either way.
Who it's for — honestly
Good fit
Service businesses that buyers research before hiring — practices, consultancies, specialty firms. You have real competitors and a real website.
Not a fit
You want guaranteed rankings (nobody honest sells that) · you need a new website built · walk-in retail with no research-driven buyers.
What happens after
Most clients stop at the Snapshot and do the fixes themselves — the list is written so you can. If you'd rather we do it: the Fix Sprint implements the top ten, and your Snapshot fee credits 100% toward it for 60 days. A fixed-price Re-Snapshot re-runs the same questions later to prove movement. Monthly monitoring exists for those who want the watch kept.
Fair questions
Why not just use a $29/month tool?
You can — they're real products. But you'll still have to invent your own prompt set, interpret the charts, and figure out the fixes alone. The Snapshot is the opposite: a human builds the questions from your actual buyers, reads every answer, and hands you a prioritized fix list with a walkthrough call.
AI answers change every day — is a snapshot even valid?
That variance is real, which is why we run each question multiple times and report stability instead of cherry-picking one lucky screenshot. See the Method page for exactly how we handle it.
Do you guarantee results?
No. Generative answers cannot be guaranteed by anyone, and every credible buyer guide lists guaranteed placement as the number-one red flag. We sell measurement and a fix list, not a promise.
Who actually does the work?
One senior analyst — a career network engineer (CCIE) — with a purpose-built measurement pipeline. The same person who runs the analysis writes the report and takes the readout call. No juniors, no handoffs.
