Do I need a demo or a sales call? No. Connect your agent, approve access and run an audit. Can you run it for me? Yes. Our managed service finds the gaps and fixes them with you. See /managed. Which agents can I use? Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other agent that supports remote MCP servers. If yours does not, or you want to run audits from a script, use the REST API with an API key. What does it measure? How AI assistants find, cite and recommend your brand when people ask real buying questions. Each answer is checked for mentions, recommendations, citations, competitors and sentiment, with a model’s read on factual accuracy. How much does it cost? $0.01 per page for technical audits, and about $8 for a full visibility audit of 15 questions across seven assistants. Every audit has a free estimate first, so you always know the cost before it starts. New accounts get $5 free, which covers technical audits and a visibility preview of three questions with recommended actions. A full audit usually needs a top-up. Am I charged when something fails? No. A failed call, a failed technical audit or an audit that produces no result costs nothing. If you run out of credit mid-audit, it stops and keeps the results so far.
