Your business is checked before anyone calls.
Customers ask ChatGPT and Google who to use. Investors and partners read your website against your documents. Regulators read your privacy policy. Here is what a read of the same surface turns up.
AI crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity got an empty home page from one South African site that let every crawler in. A browser saw it fine.
findings on one full read were the company’s own team’s work: copy, settings and code, hours to weeks. On another, 39 of 56.
Who the AI names isn’t the league table.
Three mid-tier firms were named more often than every Big 4 firm.

Every finding comes back labelled by who can fix it and how long it takes. I fix what’s mine to fix: the site, the copy, the build.

I re-run the checks after the fix, so you see a dated before-and-after, finding by finding, not just a report.

A report is copyable. A dated before-and-after is not.

Which door depends on who is asking. Each starts with a 15-minute call and one finding from your own platform, free. The price is fixed, in rand, before any work starts.

The accounting figures are from the SA AI Visibility Index, Edition 1 (July 2026, restated 3 September 2026): 36 buyer questions put to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity through their APIs, three runs each, 432 answers. The 5 of 8 (the crawlers OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity name), 35 of 58 and 39 of 56 figures are from full reads in September 2026, names withheld.
OpenAI’s, Anthropic’s and Perplexity’s crawlers don’t execute JavaScript; generative engines reward statistics, cited sources and expert quotes — in Princeton’s lab test they lifted a page’s visibility by 30–40%, on pages the engine had already chosen as sources. Roughly 48% of Google searches now surface an AI Overview, where organic click-through runs at 2.36% against 3.82% without one.
