Before you apply

The free assessment highlights key issues. A full report purchase includes the initial full assessment, recommendations and a full comparison report at the end of the agreed cycle. Confirm the cycle and scope before purchase.

After application and mobile verification, your assessment enters generation and human review. We send the report link by SMS once published. We may contact you for more information; delivery is not instant.

No. Answers vary by question, platform, time and public information. We disclose what was checked and the evidence, help you improve and reassess under agreed conditions. We do not promise a recommendation position or orders.

Yes. You can use the recommendations yourself. Membership tools can support your work; research, planning or project support can be commissioned separately.

A full assessment includes the initial report and a full comparison report after the agreed cycle. Confirm report scope, timing and tool access for your chosen membership plan before purchase. After joining, confirm your details and assessment arrangements. Consulting, website changes and additional assessments are separately scoped.

You can continue using AI directly. We help define relevant questions, organise traceable evidence using a consistent assessment approach, review findings and turn them into specific recommendations. Buy only if that work saves time or helps your decisions.

If you need guaranteed orders, cannot act on the advice or already have more customers than you can serve, address those operating constraints first. There is no need to pay for ongoing tools you do not currently need.

GEO means Generative Engine Optimization. We assess how your business appears in AI answers, alongside competitors, verifiable third-party citations, public content and website issues. This informs prioritised recommendations. We cannot promise complete indexing coverage, all competitor activity or AI recommendations.
