Write the questions
Five to ten questions a buyer would ask, without your company name. For example: best dental practice management software for a small practice.
- 02
Ask every engine, three times
Ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Answers change between runs, so ask each question three times.

When one engine is not enough
Buyers use more than one engine, and the same question can get a different answer on the next run. The Category Audit asks ten buyer questions on all five engines, three runs each, and hands over every answer.
- Who is named instead of youEvery vendor the engines name in the answers that leave you out, each with its count over the real base.
- The sources those answers citeThe domains cited in the answers that leave you out, ranked by how many answers cite them, and how often your own domain is cited.
- Crawler accessWhether your robots.txt lets the AI search crawlers read your site, and your homepage status. We say what we could not test.
- Three prioritized fixesEach names an owner on your team and a done check anyone can run.
- Receipts and a CMO summaryAll 150 answers in full, with the engine, the run, the capture time and every cited URL, and a one-page summary for your CMO.
- A finance memoWhat was measured, what it cost, the refund terms, and what success means at day 30. It is not a revenue promise.
- Your next steps, pricedThe full $490 credits against the $990 Diagnostic within 30 days of delivery. A $190 re-measure of the same ten questions is available 30 to 60 days after delivery, by private link.
Questions
Before you pay anything
Is the free check really free?
Yes. It runs ten buyer questions on one engine, Perplexity, once each. No email is needed. Runs are limited per network.
Why pay $490 after a free check?
The free check covers one engine and one run. The Category Audit covers five engines with three runs each, hands over every answer and its sources, and adds who is named instead and three prioritized fixes.
Do free graders measure the same thing?
No. Some score how ready a page is to be cited, some check crawler access, and some ask an engine about your brand. A readiness score is not the same as being named in an answer.
