Structure, Flow, Trust. A proprietary analytical framework: Structure examines technical and semantic organization, Flow the circulation of information, and Trust the available sources and evidence. The primary output is a Structure /100, Flow /100, Trust /100 profile.

How do I know if my site is cited by AI?

Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini directly about your market and check whether your brand appears. Check AI referral traffic in Google Analytics. Or request an audit that measures share of voice across a defined prompt set.
