Fifteen things worth doing to your website, in the order we’d do them. Each one with what we saw, the date we saw it, and the published rule it sits against. No score out of a hundred. No list of two hundred errors.

Can the eight AI systems actually see your website?
Each of these companies publishes rules about which of its robots may read your site. Most small-business websites are blocked from at least one — usually by a line somebody pasted in years ago trying to keep AI out, which blocked the wrong thing.1

Meta AI

No rule names Applebot, and no Googlebot restriction to inherit
clear
Three blocked, one degraded, three clear — and the three that are clear are clear by luck. Nothing in this site’s file names Anthropic’s, Meta’s or Apple’s robots, so those three can see it. Not because anyone decided they should: because the list somebody pasted in didn’t happen to include them.
What lands in your inbox
A document, not a login. Roughly twenty pages, and page one is the entire list — if you read nothing else, you have it.
Fifteen findings, ranked
Ordered by what we'd do first, not by severity colour. The order is explained, and you can disagree with it.
An evidence page behind every finding
What was seen, the date it was seen, who read it, and the published Google, Bing or platform rule it sits against — quoted exactly, with the source and the date we read it.
The eight-platform AI visibility check
Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini apps, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT search, Perplexity, Claude, Meta AI, and Apple's Siri, Spotlight and Safari — each read against that company's own published crawler documentation.
What we found and deliberately left off the list
Everything that didn't make the fifteen, with the reason it came off. Including anything that rests on professional opinion rather than a published rule — we record those and we don't charge you to act on them.
Your starting line
The numbers as reported today, each with its source and date, before anyone touches anything. No total, on purpose.
A named human signature
A person reads every page before it is sent, and signs it. That is a standing rule, not a courtesy.
The part nobody else will show you
Read a complete audit before you buy one.
Not a sample. Not a preview behind a form. The entire document for a demonstration business — every finding, every evidence page, the things we got wrong and the questions we couldn’t answer. If it isn’t worth $299 to you after reading it, don’t buy it.
Every other page you’ll read today is uniformly confident. Here is the part they leave out, and you should weigh it before spending anything — with us or anyone else.
We will never tell you:
Where you’ll rank, or when. No position, no page one, no date. Google’s own documentation states that indexing and serving aren’t guaranteed.3
That you’ll be cited in an AI answer. Clearing a block makes your site eligible. None of the eight companies publishes how its AI chooses which sources to cite — we looked at every one, and we record where we looked.
How much traffic you’ll gain. We have no way to know, and neither does anyone quoting you a percentage.
What your competitors are doing and why. We can see their pages. We cannot see their accounts, their spend, or their intent.
Anything Google doesn’t document. Where the documentation is silent, our report says it’s silent and names where we looked.
If that list costs us your business, we’d rather lose it here than in month three. The reason the rest of the report is worth reading is that this page exists.
How it works
1
You give us access
Three Google accounts, about twenty minutes, on your phone if you like. We send a page that walks through each step. You never give us a password, and you can remove us in ten seconds without asking.
2
A person reads your site
Not a crawler dumping a list. Six passes over your site, your Search Console data and your Business Profile, plus the eight-platform check — with every observation dated as it’s made.
3
We deliver it on a call
We walk you through page one, answer whatever you want to ask, and leave you the document. It’s yours to keep, and yours to hand to anyone else.
Price
One price, published, for a document with a fixed scope and a fixed date. The first five sites get the founding rate, because we need real sites to prove the process on and we’d rather say that than pretend it’s a sale.

What’s fixed
A delivery date in writing. Miss it and you get every cent back.
No subscription. Nothing renews. There is nothing to cancel.
No upsell in the document. The report is the report.
The deliverable is yours — take it to another provider if you want.
We ask for the lowest access that does the job, and never ownership of your Business Profile.
Ask Datum
our assistant
A datum is the reference point a survey is measured from — a known, fixed thing you check everything else against. Our assistant is named after it, and it works the same way: it answers from published documentation and tells you which page it came from.
It is bound by the same rules our reports are. It will not tell you where you’ll rank, when, or that you’ll appear in an AI answer — and if you ask it to, it will say so and explain why. Where the documentation is silent, it says it’s silent rather than guessing.
