Is ChatGPT recommending you, or your competitors?
We put eight questions your customers ask to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini, with live web search switched on. You get a report by email, usually within ten minutes: your score, who they recommend instead, the websites they used, and three quick fixes.
Free, once per business every 30 days.
