The Visibility Report

Proof, monthly: where your firm shows up — including inside AI answers.

Supporter Members would receive this report each month. It tracks the asset they pay for: whether their pages are indexed, what they rank for, and where AI assistants cite them when buyers ask who built what.

Sample report. Every firm, project and figure below is fictional and illustrative. The AI panels are mock-ups of how citations would be presented — not screenshots.
