Is ChatGPT Recommending You, or Your Competitor?

SEO earns you a rank in a list of links. AEO, Answer Engine Optimization, is about being the business an AI names when a buyer asks for a recommendation. They share foundations, which is why AEO extends your SEO rather than replacing it, and why a site can rank well on Google and still never come up in ChatGPT.

No, and be suspicious of anyone who says yes, because nobody controls these engines. We guarantee the two things we do control: if the audit hands you nothing you can act on, you get your money back, and if you engage us within 60 days, the $797 credits forward. The audit tells you where you stand and what to fix. The results come from the work.

No. You can get a free automated AEO score in thirty seconds, and it will give you a number with nothing you can act on. Ours runs the measurement at full scale, and then a senior strategist reads it, builds your fix list, and walks you through it live.

You should. It's free, and it's a real data point. But be careful what you conclude from it: ChatGPT remembers you. If you've ever talked to it about your business, your account knows the business is yours, and it will happily name you in answers where a stranger's account never would. Asking your own ChatGPT whether it recommends you is like asking the magic mirror in Snow White: it knows exactly who's asking, and it tells you what you want to hear. Your buyers' accounts don't know you exist, so we run everything on clean, anonymous accounts, the way they actually see you. And the rest you can't do by hand at all: research your buyer personas, build 100+ questions the way buyers actually ask them, run them at scale across the engines, compute your citation share, share of voice and sentiment across hundreds of answers, and run 90+ technical checks on your site and your competitors'. One prompt is an anecdote, and a flattering one. The audit is the dataset, plus the person who tells you what it means.

Yes. That's the point of the Blueprint. We test the questions your buyers actually ask and report which businesses the engines put forward instead of you, by name, with the reasons attached. It's your market, so they'll be names you recognise, and occasionally one you don't, which is its own kind of useful.

Then you're ahead, and the audit tells you why, which matters, because a position you hold without knowing why is a position you can lose without noticing. And if the audit hands you nothing at all you could act on, you get your $797 back.

It's changing, which is the argument for checking now, not later. The businesses the engines name today get easier to name tomorrow. Early is the cheap seat.

Maybe. Ask them what the AI engines currently say about your business. If they can answer, you likely don't need us. Most can't, through no fault of their own: rank tracking doesn't measure it, and the contract was written before this channel existed. Plenty of our audits get handed straight to the client's own agency as a work order, and that's a good outcome.

Your website address. That's the whole list. We audit from the outside, exactly the way an AI engine encounters you.

Yes. Everything is plain English with the reasoning attached, the live call exists to answer every "why," and the fix list is scoped so you can hand it to whoever maintains your site. You don't need to implement anything yourself.

No. The report is yours outright. If you want us to execute, we quote it after you've seen the findings, never before.

Because we'd rather show you what we can do than tell you, and because very few owners will pay $2,500 to check on something they're hoping isn't true. It's the lowest-friction way for both of us to find out if we should work together.

Seven business days from the moment you order. You'll get a link to book your findings call as soon as the report is ready.
