When people want a recommendation, they ask ChatGPT — and it answers with a short list of names. For the searches that matter to you, we take that answer apart: the firms it names, where you sit (or why you're missing), the precise reason, and the exact moves to get in.
Tell us your patch and we'll show you the real answer — who gets named, who gets skipped. We've already run some markets; if yours isn't one of them, we'll run it and email your mini-reveal within 24 hours.
That one sentence is quietly rewriting how customers choose. Ten blue links became a single confident answer. The buyer never scrolls a list — they get three to five names with a reason for each. Land one of those slots and you get the call. Miss it and you were never in the running, and the lost enquiry is invisible to you. Right now you don't know which one you are. This tells you, for the searches you care about most.
AI returns a short recommendation, not a page of links to browse. There's no "page two" to climb to — you're named, or you're nowhere.
Ranking #1 on Google doesn't mean ChatGPT cites you. It weighs entities, structure and trusted mentions — a different game with different winners.
Models lean on the sources they already trust. The firm that gets named first becomes the default answer — and stays it. Position is getting sticky.
Here's a real teardown. We asked ChatGPT for a recommendation, then traced every stage of how it built the answer — and found exactly where one good business fell out.
It ran 8 searches, gathered 40 sources, and named 5 firms. A sixth — a real broker with a perfectly good website — was fetched, looked at, and quietly dropped. Here's the squeeze:
The five-rung ladder — and where they got stuck
Branded, plain-English, and yours to action in-house. No dashboard to learn, no retainer to sign.
The exact shortlist ChatGPT named for your search — and precisely where you sit in it, or that you're absent.
Which of the five states you're in (invisible → cited) and the plain reason you're stuck there.
Prioritised, do-now vs next — and every single line tied to something in the actual answer. No filler advice.
The exact sentences ChatGPT lifted into its reply, so you can see what "quotable" looks like and copy the shape.
The directories and lists ChatGPT actually pulled from — getting named there is often faster than fixing your own site.
Written in the shape of the sentences that won, ready to drop onto your page with your real details.
Checkout takes two minutes: your website, and the one to three searches you'd want a customer to use. That's all we need.
A clean-room run on ChatGPT — neutral account, no personalisation skewing the result — then we trace the answer stage by stage.
Your branded report lands within 48 hours, with the fixes ranked by leverage. Start at the top, work down.
SEO optimises to rank in a list of links. This optimises to be the named recommendation when there is no list — only an answer. The signals overlap; the target and the tactics don't. You can sit at #1 on Google and still be invisible the second a buyer asks ChatGPT instead. The teardown shows you the gap in that new game, specifically — and the moves that close it.
Mortgage and insurance brokers, financial advisers, law and accounting firms, property, clinics, trades, hospitality, agencies — any considered purchase where a recommendation wins the job. The more your category gets "just ask ChatGPT-ed", the more a slot in that answer is worth.
Start with the free mini-reveal — we'll show you who ChatGPT names in your patch, then you decide if the full $190 teardown is worth it.
ChatGPT — the one most buyers reach for first. Want the full picture across Perplexity, Google AI, Gemini and Copilot too, plus the 20+ prompts your buyers actually use (we find them, you don't have to guess)? That's the Full Cited Report, and we'll offer it to you right after checkout.
Within 48 hours. We run the teardown by hand in a clean room and check it before it reaches you — no auto-generated dashboard nonsense.
Your website URL and the one to three searches you'd want a customer to use to find you. You give them at checkout. That's it.
No honest person can promise an AI names you. What we promise is the real reason you're in or out, and the specific, evidence-backed moves to change it. The work is yours to action in-house — or we can do it for you (ask about the Build Sprint).
One teardown is one clean snapshot, and AI answers do vary run to run. It's more than enough to see your rung and your fixes clearly. If you want continuous tracking across every engine, that's what ongoing Cited monitoring is for.
AiSearch — we build AI-visibility ("get cited") systems for businesses. Cited is our product line; this teardown is the fastest way to see where you actually stand.
