Dwg VTA-001 ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini · Perplexity

AI visibility, measured

Every buyer question an AI answers is open, entrenched, or already yours. We put your buyers' real questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, then report, per question, with quotes, whether you're named, cited, or missing entirely.

The three verdicts

Know where you stand. Know where to start.

A verdict per vertical. Evidence for every claim.

01 · Citation opportunityRecognised

Recognised, not cited

They know your name. Your site is rarely the source they hand over. The fix is turning mentions into citations.

02 · Defended groundEntrenched

Entrenched

One rival owns 72% of answers here. Don't start this fight; there are cheaper ones waiting.

03 · An openingOpen

Open

No vendor clears 25%. This is the cheapest question left to own, and we tell you which one it is.

[04] How it works

  1. Tell us your domain

    We read your site and propose 15 buyer questions across 3 to 5 verticals. You edit and approve before anything runs.

    RecordedEvery answer, as it landed

  3. We read every answer

    Who's named, who's cited, which rivals got the recommendation. Each claim comes with its own quote.

Free · no sign-up

Can AI assistants even read your site?

We check llms.txt, AI-crawler access, structured data, and what the bots actually see when they fetch your homepage. Thirty seconds, no account, nothing stored.

Readiness check · six checksFree

We fetch your homepage, robots.txt and llms.txt once, as ourselves. Nothing is stored.

Readiness tells you whether you can be cited; the Snapshot tells you whether you are.

Three ways in

Check it, fix one gap, or measure it.

All one-off. The evidence comes first; a subscription only once you've started fixing things.

[09] Questions

Fair enough, ask away.

Is this the same as what ChatGPT shows my customers?

Same models, via each vendor's API, with search on. Close, not identical. We publish the method so you can judge the gap yourself.

Why one-off?

Because you need a verdict first, not a subscription. Track is for once you've started fixing things.

How do you pick the questions?

From your site and your verticals. You approve every single one before we spend a penny.

Do you count “Acme” when the answer meant a different Acme?

No. Every match is checked and printed, so you can see exactly what we counted and why.

What do I do with an “open” verdict?

Write the page that answers the question. We tell you which one. ScriptGrain can write it in your voice.
