Four products. One ladder. No vague retainers.

AI Visibility Report
Know exactly what four AI assistants tell your buyers — and what to fix first. A fixed-scope, self-serve report for insurance agencies and brokerages, delivered in 48 hours.
- 15 name-free buyer questions, specialized to your geography and line of business
- All four assistants measured: ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Perplexity
- Per-assistant visibility and a question-by-question matrix
- Who the AI names when you're absent — competitor by competitor
Step 2
Executive AI Discovery Audit
Convert uncertainty about AI-mediated discovery into an evidence-backed executive decision: where you appear, who wins instead, why, and what to change first.
- One brand, one US market context, one buyer journey or line of business
- 15–25 approved, name-free buyer questions plus branded-accuracy questions, fully classified (funnel stage, persona, line of business, intent)
- All four assistants measured — ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Perplexity; the contracted subset for SLA purposes is named in the order form
- 2–4 named competitors, repeated samples per the methodology version
Step 3
AI Discovery Implementation Sprint
Implement the highest-confidence changes identified by the audit, with a verifiable release trail and a comparable re-measurement at pre-agreed windows.
- Entity foundation: canonical descriptors, Organization schema, profile consistency, disambiguation, factual corrections
- Owned-source quality: answer-first pages, evidence-backed FAQs, authorship and review dates, structured data
- Citation readiness: original data assets, methodology pages, statistics, comparison criteria, downloadable evidence
- Third-party credibility plan: legitimate directories, review surfaces, partner references, trade media, analyst and association opportunities
Step 4
Continuous AI Discovery Intelligence
Detect change, protect gains, and get a prioritized monthly operating plan — an analyst-reviewed control layer, not a passive dashboard.
- Scheduled re-measurement of the contracted question set under the locked methodology version
- Longitudinal client and competitor metrics against a locked, comparable baseline
- Source and citation change tracking by source class
- High-confidence accuracy and reputation alerts — analyst-verified before delivery, within one business day for critical factual risk
How one gap gets closed
Finding → recommendation → release → re-measurement.
Invisible on the money question
"Best business insurance provider for mid-size businesses" — ChatGPT and Perplexity answer with The Hartford, Travelers, and Chubb. The subject carrier is never named, while its branded questions answer correctly: a selection problem, not awareness.
Answer-first page + the sources AI cites
confidence: inferred · observed
Publish a page whose heading is the buyer's question and whose first 40 words answer it; earn placements in the listicles and directories the engines actually cited. Each recommendation ships with its evidence links, owner, effort, and verification plan.
Released, recorded, reversible
Every release lands in a ledger — artifact, checksum, client approval, date, rollback reference. Regulated claims go out only with the client's compliance approval.
Same questions, same method, honest answer
At a pre-agreed window we re-measure the identical question set under the locked methodology version. The comparison is refused outright if the contracts don't match — movement is proven, or its absence is reported.
Versus the alternatives
A dashboard shows the score. We play the match.
Horizontal monitoring tools are honest products — buy one if charts are all you need. Our work starts where they stop: explaining the gap, implementing the fix, and proving whether it moved.

Selective by design
Who this is for — and honestly, who it isn't.
A good fit
- US brokerage, MGA, TPA, or carrier whose buyers research providers online.
- A named executive sponsor — VP/Head of Marketing, Digital, Brand, or Acquisition — who can act on findings.
- You can implement approved website, content, and profile changes within 30–60 days.
- One incremental customer or account is worth enough to fund the work many times over.
- You accept that AI outputs are stochastic and want honest measurement, not a vanity chart.
Not a fit
- You want guaranteed placement, mentions, policy sales, traffic, or revenue — no honest vendor controls a third-party model's output.
- You cannot change your website, profiles, content, or source footprint (nothing to implement).
- You expect fabricated reviews, planted community comments, or undisclosed sponsorships — we don't do them.
- You treat one favorable AI response as proof of success — we measure repeated samples across engines.
- Your buying process needs six procurement stakeholders for a $5k decision — start with the $290 report instead.
The path
From first question to operating rhythm.
Qualify
A short form and one call: your buyer journey, competitors, and whether AI discovery is even material for you. If it isn't, we say so.
Approve the measurement contract
You approve entities, competitors, and 15–25 buyer questions; we lock the methodology version and measurement window.
Baseline and audit (10 business days)
Repeated samples across the contracted engines, every answer stored in a tamper-evident evidence chain, findings and a prioritized 90-day roadmap delivered in an executive readout.
Implement (60–90 days)
The sprint releases the highest-confidence changes with approvals, checksums, and rollback references in a release ledger.
Re-measure and operate
Comparable re-measurement at pre-agreed windows, then continuous intelligence: material-change digests, verified alerts, and a monthly work plan.
Our standard
The hardest part of AI search isn't ranking — it's being the answer.
And every result we report is backed by a stored AI answer — a tamper-evident, hash-chained record you can request.
