See exactly what AI says about your firm.
An engine is answering “which firm should I use?” right now — with or without you in it.
Free scan — what you get
- Where you actually stand across the AI engines — your real numbers, not an estimate
- Which rivals get recommended instead of you, with the answer that proves it
- The three highest-value gaps to close first
- Sent as a short PDF. No call required, no commitment.
Then, if you want the whole picture: the Recommendation Index™ goes to all seven engines and 800–1,000 prompts, and lands as the full written report below. That one’s paid, and it’s what our clients work from.
Start free. No commitment.
The free scan, in full
Seven pages, built from three AI engines, your search data and what your buyers actually say out loud. This is a real one — the firm, its rivals and its city are changed, nothing else is.
What the paid Index looks like — read a real one
Not the free scan — this is the full Recommendation Index™, the twenty-page report a client works from once the audit is done. We’ve published one in full so you can judge the work before you pay for it. Every number, chart and finding is exactly as measured; only the client’s name, people, towns and smaller rivals are changed.
And the live reading behind it
By the end, you know exactly where you stand
Eight steps — every one logged — that turn a hunch into evidence: where you stand, who’s recommended instead of you, and what to do first.

- Generic award badges no engine reads
The window is closing
In two months, the citations held by the top firms in a category nearly doubled. Once a name is on the shortlist, it’s hard to dislodge.

What happens next
The Recommendation Index stands on its own. Most firms would rather we ran the work — then it becomes the on-ramp to a retainer.
See how the retainer works →Recommendation Index questions
- How long does it take?
- 5–7 working days from the point we have what we need from you.
- What do you need from us?
- Very little. Your firm's name and website, your main competitors, and the client you most want to win. We pull the rest from public sources. You don't need to give us access to anything internal for the Recommendation Index.
- Do you sign an NDA?
- Yes, on request, before you share anything you'd rather keep private. We never publish your data without written permission.
- Who needs to be involved internally?
- One person to brief us at the start and receive the report. After that it's built to be shared with your partners. That's what it's for.
- What if we don't see any lift?
- The Recommendation Index tells you honestly whether there's a path to lift. If there isn't, we'll say so — and you're under no obligation to go further. You'll know in days, not months.
AI can't recommend what it doesn't know.
