Free four-engine audit

When someone asks AI who to hire, it names your competitors.

I ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity the question your customers are already asking — “who’s the best [what you do] in [where you do it]” — and show you who they name instead, which websites they read to decide, and where you’re missing.

How an AI answer actually gets built

01 — It retrieves

The model can’t answer from memory.

Ask about a business or a category you should be in and it goes and searches. Nothing about your reputation lives inside the model itself.

02 — It cites a short list

The answer comes from someone else’s page.

Directories, ranking platforms, review sites and community threads. Your own website is usually a footnote, not the source.

03 — It ranks on one metric

And every engine picks a different one.

Some count volume, some count reviews, some count tenure. Ask four engines the same question and you can get four different answers.

What the free audit gives you

01

The names they return

The actual businesses each engine recommends for your market — and how much they agree with each other.

02

The websites they read

Each answer is built from a handful of third-party sources. I show you which ones, engine by engine.

03

Where you’re missing

Which of those platforms you already appear on, and which ones you’re absent from entirely.

04

The axis you can win

Volume, reviews, or tenure. Each engine ranks on something different — and only one of those is actually open to you.

How it works

  1. You send your city and trade.

    One line to [email protected]. That’s the whole intake.

  2. I run your market through all four engines.

    Consumer interfaces, not APIs — the same way your customers are asking.

  3. You get the document.

    A written audit of your market — who they name, what they read, and where you’re absent.

Questions worth asking

Isn’t this just SEO?

No. Google rankings and AI answers overlap less than people assume, and they rarely reward the same pages. The engines lean on directories, ranking platforms, review sites and community threads in your category — and they cite those more often than your own site. Which source carries the weight depends on the engine, and that mapping is the part nobody publishes.

Can’t I just track this myself?

You can buy a dashboard for $95 a month, and it will tell you your score. It won’t tell you which ranking axis is open to you, which source is doing the work in your market, or what to change. That’s the part I do.

Who is this for?

Established businesses with real client value — professional practices, multi-location operators, and firms competing for considered purchases. If one new client doesn’t comfortably cover a monthly retainer, this isn’t the right fit yet, and I’ll tell you that.

What does it cost?

Pricing is scoped to your market and how contested it is. Email me and I’ll send it — the audit itself is free either way.
