Questions your buyers are already asking

  • What's the best expense management software for a 10-person startup?
  • Which CRM would you recommend for an early-stage B2B team, and why?
  • What are the best alternatives to [the tool your buyers use now]?
  • What is [your startup]? Is it a good choice for a seed-stage company?

We ask questions like these for your category on six AI engines.

Who it's for

Built for founders, not SEO teams

Plain-English findings and a short fix list. No dashboard to learn, no acronyms to decode.

Pre-seed to Series A

You have a product, some customers and a category you want to own. You don't have a marketing department.

No SEO hire (yet)

Marketing is you, a co-founder or a generalist. You need to know what matters before you hire or brief anyone.

Buyers who research first

B2B and SaaS buyers compare options before they book a demo, and some of that research now starts in an AI chat.

Founder-led growth

You write the posts, take the podcast slots and answer the threads. The scan shows which of those efforts AI picks up.

Sound familiar?

The founder's AI visibility problem, in your words

Buyers, investors and candidates now ask AI about companies like yours. Most founders have no idea what it says back.

  • “I have no idea what ChatGPT says about us.”

    What the scan shows

    See the exact answers six AI engines give to the questions your buyers ask, saved in one report.

  • “A prospect told me ChatGPT recommended our competitor.”

    What the scan shows

    See who gets named instead of you, on which engines, and how often they rank above you.

  • “AI describes us wrong.”

    What the scan shows

    Read what ChatGPT and Perplexity say when asked about you, word for word, so you can fix the source.

  • “Investors and candidates research us through AI now.”

    What the scan shows

    Know the answer before they ask, and keep a baseline you can show progress against.

  • “Checking by hand is tedious and unreliable.”

    What the scan shows

    Twenty answers with consistent settings in about 1–2 minutes, instead of twenty browser tabs.

  • “I can't justify an enterprise tool before I know I have a problem.”

    What the scan shows

    Start with a free baseline. If you're fine, it cost you two minutes. If you're not, you'll know where.

When to run it

Five moments a baseline pays off

One scan gives you a snapshot. Run it again at the moments that matter and you have a trend.

  • Before a fundraise or diligence

    Investors and candidates may ask AI about you before they ever reply to your email.

    You get: Know what they'll read about you, and fix the wrong descriptions before the first meeting.

  • Before and after a launch

    A launch creates coverage, reviews and threads: the raw material AI learns from.

    You get: A before-and-after view of whether the launch moved you onto AI shortlists.

  • After a pivot or rename

    AI can keep describing the old product long after your homepage changed.

    You get: The exact words each engine uses, so you know which profiles and pages still tell the old story.

  • When you're creating a category

    If AI doesn't know your category yet, it tends to file you under the nearest one it does know.

    You get: Which category AI files you under, and which incumbents it compares you with.

  • For a board or investor update

    AI visibility is a new channel, and boards ask about new channels.

    You get: A simple 0–100 score per engine you can report and re-check each quarter.

What we ask for you

Real buyer questions, filled in for your startup

You give us a website, a name and a category. We write the questions a buyer would type and put them to six engines. Here's what that looks like for Ledgerly, the fictional startup in our sample report.

  • The same description on LinkedIn, directories and founder bios
  • Comparison and “alternatives to” pages for the tools buyers ask about

Founder objections, answered

The questions we hear most from founders before they run their first scan.

You can, and you should look. But one check in your own account is a sample of one, shaped by your chat history and memory. The scan asks the same buyer questions on six engines with consistent settings, keeps every answer and source, and compares you with the brands that get named instead. Doing that by hand takes 20 separate chats and searches.

Not always, and we say so. ChatGPT and Gemini answers are captured from the consumer apps. Claude and Perplexity go through their official APIs. AI Overviews and AI Mode come from live Google results. Answers vary from run to run, which is why we show the raw text and recommend re-checking over time. The details are on our How it works page.

It overlaps, but the levers differ. Classic SEO is about your pages ranking. AI visibility also depends on third-party mentions (reviews, listicles, communities), on which sources each engine trusts, and on how clearly AI understands what you are. Ranking well helps, but it doesn't guarantee you get named.

Buyers already ask AI for shortlists, and the engines answer whether or not you're on the list. A free baseline costs you a couple of minutes. If you're invisible, you'll know before a competitor's head start gets hard to close. If you're doing well, you'll know what to protect.

No. You see your score and per-engine results without an email. The email only unlocks the full report. We send the report link and occasional, useful follow-ups, and you can unsubscribe anytime.

We never guarantee rankings or mentions, because nobody can. The report shows the exact prompts, answers and sources, so you can check our work, and many fixes are things you can do yourself. The strategy call is a diagnosis of your results, not a pitch deck.

Scans are private by default. We don't publish results or use your brand in our marketing. Your prompts are sent to the AI engines through our data provider to get the answers, and that's it. Our privacy policy lists every processor and how long we keep data.
