Not findable in the ChatGPT app before 31 July, by our own check. By 20 August the same app named it first on one of four questions.
Smart Sprinkler Solutions · Utah County · our hand check 0 of 24 (0%), chats not saved. API runs, ChatGPT and Gemini: 3 of 24 (12.5%) on 31 July and again on 6 August; on 20 August 1 of 24 (4%) at one sample, 10 and 13 of 120 (8% and 11%) at five, and a third five-sample run where Gemini read 0 of 60 (0%) and ChatGPT errored, unknown rather than zero. On the four questions checked by hand that day, Google served no AI Overview, not generated. The app that day: 1 of 4 (25%). Five samples a question is the instrument, not a re-run; API depths never compared · the full record, every run at its depth
That was our own check, by hand, on one company. The $99 audit is the same twelve-question check, written for your trade and run through our audit instrument instead: ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI, every answer saved the moment it appeared with the date on it. You see who got named, how often, and which sources those companies have that you don't. Five business days.
The $99 is credited in full toward any package paid for within 30 days.
The AI Visibility Audit is a $99 dated record of how AI engines answer your customers' questions. SummitCited writes twelve buyer questions for your trade and your town, runs each one live in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI, and keeps every answer on file as it appears, dated. You get the results grid, every raw answer, the sources behind each company the engines named, and a fix list in priority order. Five business days, and no access to anything you own.
One report, five parts. It is the same document we use to plan a full engagement — there is no deeper version held back for clients.
You can, and you should — it costs nothing and takes a minute. What one search can't tell you is the difference between an answer and a pattern. Five things a single check misses:
A licensed, 5-star roofing contractor in a Utah market — rated higher than nearly every competitor that beat it — was named in zero of ten buyer questions run live in July 2026. That included the insurance-claims question the company calls its own specialty. Its phone still rang that week.
That is the part worth sitting with. There is no missed call, no bounced quote, no notification of any kind when the engines stop putting you on the list. The work stays good. The reviews stay good. The only signal is a quarter that comes in quieter than the last one, months after the fact, with no way to tell which month it started or why. The audit turns that into a number you can look at today.
Client name withheld. Every question and answer from that audit exists as a dated raw record — that standard of proof is the product.
Three steps, no access to your accounts needed — we check you from the outside, the way a customer would.
Email your business name, trade, and service area. That's everything we need — no logins, no site access, no meetings required.
Twelve buyer questions, three engines, every answer saved the moment it appears. Cold sessions, so what you see is what a stranger in your town sees, not what your own search history shows you.
Results grid, every raw answer, the sources behind every competitor named, and your fix list in priority order. Fifteen minutes to read. A quarter's worth of work to act on.
Three: ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Each of the twelve buyer questions is run live in each engine the way a customer would ask it, and every answer is saved the moment it appears, because AI answers change from run to run. When Google serves no AI Overview for a question, the report records that rather than leaving a blank. Perplexity can be added on request.
They are written for your trade and your market — the questions a buyer in your town actually asks before hiring, like who is best, who handles emergencies, who works with insurance, and what a job costs. You see every question in the report, so nothing is graded on a curve you can't inspect.
Then you get the dated answers proving it, which is worth having, and the report shifts to defense: which sources your visibility depends on, how stable it looks, and what would erode it. Most businesses we check are named in fewer answers than they expect, but a strong result is a real result either way.
Because it is hours of real work — twelve questions run live across three engines, every answer kept on file, scored, and written up by a person who then goes and reads the sources behind every competitor that got named. Charging for it keeps delivery at five business days instead of whenever we get to it. And it is credited in full toward any SummitCited package within 30 days, so if you go on to work with us, the audit costs you nothing in the end.
No, though the inputs overlap. Search ranking decides which links appear on a page of results. This decides which businesses get named inside an answer that most people never scroll past. The levers touch some of the same things — reviews, your Google Business Profile, directory listings, what your pages actually say in plain sentences — but the scoreboard is different, and until you run the questions, nobody is keeping score on it for you.
Nothing, unless you ask. The fix list is written so your own web person can work through it. If you would rather we did it, the $1,500 Answer-Ready Website covers the on-site half in one pass, and Found First covers five of the seven levers at $5,000 one-time, with no retainer and no contract. The other two levers are monthly add-ons: the review engine at $500 setup plus $250 a month, and the visibility monitor at $250 a month. Your $99 comes off the Answer-Ready Website or Found First if that invoice, or its 50% deposit, is paid within 30 days — setup fees only, never a monthly — and the Answer-Ready Website is credited toward Found First setup on the same terms within 60 days.
No. The audit is run entirely from the outside, the same way your customers see you — no logins, no website access, no Google Business Profile access. All we need is your business name, trade, and service area.
As a written report within five business days: the results grid showing all twelve questions across all three engines, every raw answer with its date, an explanation of why the businesses that got named keep getting named, and a prioritized fix list you can act on with or without us.
