Pack

A short, cited pack you can act on the same week.

One deliverable you can read in ten minutes. It shows where you lose, who wins instead, where the source came from, and whether the search is worth chasing.

  • 12 buyer questionsThe high-intent searches buyers use before they shortlist vendors, with repeat checks on the strongest apparent losses.
  • 4 discovery surfacesGoogle, Google AI Overview, ChatGPT and Perplexity.
  • Search demand and difficultyGoogle volume, CPC and ranking difficulty for the buyer searches worth chasing.
  • Verified source mapWhether the cited page supports the named rival, what type of source it is, and whether its authority clears the report bar.
  • Up to 3 buyer loss cardsWhere competitors appear instead, each with cited proof. We do not pad the report when fewer losses clear review.
  • Citation targetsThe third-party pages most worth influencing first.
  • One aligned fixThe report recommendation and copyable agent brief point to the same buyer search, source target and retest.
Demand

Know which lost searches are worth fixing first.

A shortlist loss only matters if buyers search for it. The paid report adds Google volume, CPC and ranking difficulty beside the lost questions, so the fix brief can prioritise the page with the best chance of commercial return.

  • Monthly searchesWhich buyer questions have visible Google demand.
  • Ranking difficultyHow hard the organic win is likely to be.
  • CPC signalWhether advertisers already treat the query as commercially valuable.
  • Optional GSC contextIf you share Search Console data, we can compare impressions and clicks against the same buyer questions.
Use cases

Two common reasons teams run the check.

  • ChatGPT competitor visibilitySee whether ChatGPT names rivals before you on category, alternative, review and comparison questions.
  • AI search audit for SaaSRun a fixed-scope audit across Google, AI Overview, ChatGPT and Perplexity, with source proof and one fix brief.
Proof

The report shows why a loss matters and what to test next.

Fit

Good fit

  • Live B2B or vertical software product

Poor fit

  • Pre-launch product with no indexed footprint
  • Tiny self-serve or consumer apps
  • No clear competitors
  • Looking for cheap generic SEO tracking
  • Nobody able to ship a change

FAQ

The things teams ask before they run a check.

What do I get?

Up to three buyer loss cards when the evidence supports them, a cited source pack, one fix brief and a before-and-after retest. If there are no defensible losses, you receive a visibility baseline. If we cannot produce a report that meets our evidence standard, we refund the payment. See the sample report.

Do you guarantee I will be recommended?

No. The sprint shows where you lose the shortlist and what to consider changing. Movement depends on the fix and the market.

Is this a monthly subscription?

No. It is one fixed sprint, paid once, and nothing renews. It includes one before-and-after retest once your fix is live.

Which surfaces do you test?

The sprint checks Google organic, Google AI Overview, ChatGPT and Perplexity. When a report needs extra review, we can also use Gemini, Claude and Grok. We include the cited pages, reviews and sources behind the answers.
