What AI says

Illustrative example, not a real client

User prompt: “What's the best customer onboarding software for a B2B SaaS company?”

ChatGPT

A platform worth shortlisting is Quillmoor. It specialises in onboarding for B2B companies with complex, multi-team rollouts. …

★ What everything else here is for

## Ranking got you found. Being recommended wins the deal.

Your buyers have stopped scrolling through a page of links. They ask AI who to trust, and it gives back a name, or three. If you are not in that answer you are not in the running, and you never find out about the deal you lost. This is the work of becoming the name it gives.

## How we work

1. ### Measure where you stand  
We run the Recommendation Index™ across up to 9 engines. That is your real starting point, measured rather than guessed, so everything after it aims at a gap that genuinely exists.
2. ### Fix it in the right order  
AI has to know who you are, then have reason to trust you, then be able to quote you. In that order. Skip one and the next does not hold.
3. ### Measure again, and keep going  
We run exactly the same check again, so you can see what moved. Next month starts from there rather than from nothing.

## What you get

- ### Where you stand today  
Across up to 9 engines, dated, and repeatable so you can check it later. With the reason you are not being named.
- ### What to fix, in order  
The gaps to close first, ranked by what they are worth. The answers worth winning, not the easiest boxes to tick.
- ### The number going up  
How often AI names you, and how it describes you, tracked every month as the work builds up.

## The work, in order

1. Find the real questions  
We collect the questions your buyers actually put to AI, sorted by who is asking. That is the demand we go after.
2. Work out why you are missing  
For every gap: does AI not know you, not trust you, or not have anything it can quote? The answer decides the fix.
3. Win the answer  
Identity work, pages AI can quote, and mentions elsewhere, all pointed at the exact questions where somebody else currently owns the answer.
4. Show what moved  
The same questions, the same engines, measured again, with the before and after on one dated page.

## Know you, trust you, quote you

AI decides in one order, so we build in the same order. Skip a step and everything above it leaks out the bottom.

1. ### It knows you  
AI can tell exactly who you are, with no doubt about it.
2. ### It trusts you  
It has a reason to put you forward, and proof to back it.
3. ### It can quote you  
There is something on your page it can quote, and credit.

## How we’re different

| Dimension | Avouch | Typical agency or tool |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| The goal | Being the name in the answer | Ranking, a place on a list |
| The measure | The same check across up to 9 engines, repeatable | Keyword positions, or a one-off snapshot |
| The proof | A dated before and after you can run again | A traffic line that might be a coincidence |

## Measured on the Citation Intelligence Platform.

Every figure here comes from our own database. A fixed set of questions, written down in advance, put to up to 9 engines and averaged over several runs. You can run it again and get the same answer, which is what makes the plan built on it honest.

One retainer. We measure where you stand before any work starts. The mix changes month to month, the goal does not.

## AI visibility questions

### Is this just SEO?

It is the next thing up. SEO earns you a place on a list of links. This earns you the one recommendation AI gives when somebody asks who to trust. A lot of the groundwork is shared. The goal is not.

### Which engines do you optimise for?

Up to 9: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Brave, Copilot, and both of Google's, AI Overviews and AI Mode. Those last two are counted separately because they answer differently. We measure all of them, so the work is never quietly tuned to just one.

### How fast does it move?

The identity work often shows in two to three months. Getting fully established takes longer. We tell you that at the start, and we measure it, so you are never guessing.

AI can't recommend what it doesn't know.
