Checked before you pick up the phone. Take a 15-minute read or a 30-minute working session; before either, we run buyer questions from your trade through the engines and see who they name in your town. You get two or three findings about your own business, on screen, and you keep them whether you hire us or not.
Phone or video, your choice. Nothing to prepare — the homework is on our side.
The strategy call is a 15- or 30-minute conversation grounded in a real review of your own market, at no charge. Take 15 minutes for the finding and what it means, or 30 to also map priorities and next steps. Before either call, SummitCited runs buyer questions from your trade through the AI engines and records who gets named in your service area — so the call starts with something specific about you instead of a general warning about AI.
It is honest about being both a briefing and a doorway. Here is the deal on each side, stated up front so neither of us spends thirty minutes finding out.
We take a limited number of clients at a time and do the work ourselves, so it costs us both less to be blunt about fit now than on the call.
No. The preparation happens on our side: before the call we sweep your market — how AI engines answer a handful of buyer questions in your trade, and where you and your competitors show up. You just need to know your own business, which you already do.
It is honest about being both. You get two or three real findings about your visibility that are yours to keep whatever you decide. If the findings point to work worth doing, we will say what that would look like and what it costs — plainly, once, without pressure. Many calls end with a recommendation to start with the $99 audit or to do nothing yet.
Choose a live time and either a 15- or 30-minute call on the SummitCited booking calendar. Tell us your business name, trade and service area; phone or video is your choice.
Yes. The market sweep and the audit are both run remotely, so the call works the same for any service business in any US market — we review your town, not a sample one.
They are different depths. The call is grounded in a quick sweep of a handful of questions, enough to make the conversation specific. The audit is the full instrument: twelve questions across three engines, every answer kept on file and dated, scored and written up with a fix list in priority order. The call tells you whether to care. The audit tells you exactly where you stand, and it is credited in full toward any package within 30 days.
Then bring them, or bring what they send you. Most agency reporting covers search rankings, ad spend and posts published — useful, and none of it measures whether an AI engine names you when a customer asks who to hire. Plenty of owners take the findings straight back to the company they already pay and have them do the work. The fix list reads the same either way.
One message. If the answer is no or not yet, that is the end of it — you keep the findings and we go away. We would rather you call us in six months than screen our number for the next six.
