how it works

What actually happens after you submit your URL

Short answer

We crawl your site and run a first visibility check within about an hour. Within a day, six machine-readable endpoints are live on your GEO address. Automated checks prove you control your domain, inbox and social accounts the same day you publish the tokens. From then on we put a fixed set of questions to six assistants on your plan’s schedule and keep the answers word for word, so what changes is measured rather than promised.

From URL to cited source

Four steps, fully automated. No technical knowledge required.

Verification & presence

Automated checks prove you control your domain, inbox and social accounts — free, on every plan. On a paid plan a tunnel employee goes further and verifies your identity and service for real. Plus an off-site presence audit with concrete recommendations.

What happens, and when

Our side of the work is on a clock. When an assistant picks you up is not — so we measure it instead of promising it.

Two different kinds of timing

Everything on our side of the line runs on a clock we control, and we state it. When an assistant picks you up is on the other side of that line — it depends on retrieval systems belonging to OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic and others. We will not put a date on someone else’s behaviour. We measure it instead, daily, and show you the answers they actually gave.

Methodology

Everything your AI presence needs

Zero maintenance, maximum visibility across AI search and recommendations.

Automatic metadata & schema

JSON-LD, meta tags and structured data in the formats assistants and crawlers are built to parse — so nothing about you has to be guessed at.

Meta Optimization
AI-Friendly Tags
Real-time Updates

Citable content engine

Article drafts generated from the real questions people ask AI engines — grounded in your actual content. You review and publish.

Bot-ready pre-rendering

AI crawlers don't execute JavaScript. We serve them your pages with schema and metadata already injected, server-side.

Verified by a human

A real tunnel employee verifies your identity, channel control and service reality — AI assistants can check the signed badge.

Citation tracking, in their words

We put the same questions to each assistant on a schedule and keep the answers, so you can see when you are named, when you are not, and when they get you wrong.

Visibility score

Each score is the share of probe queries where that assistant named the business, measured on a fixed set of questions and re-run on your plan's schedule. Open any engine to read the answers it actually gave, word for word.

Questions people ask about this

How long until my endpoints are live?

Within about a day of your first crawl. The first visibility check runs sooner, usually within the hour, so you see the starting position before anything has been changed.

Do I have to change anything on my own website?

No. Everything we generate is served from your GEO endpoints on our infrastructure. Your pages are not edited and no script is required on them. Pre-rendering for AI crawlers is available on Business and Custom plans and also requires no changes to your pages.

How often is everything re-checked?

Visibility is checked daily on every plan. Your site is re-crawled on your plan’s schedule — every seven days on Free, every three on Pro, daily on Business, with manual crawls available. Automated verification proofs are re-observed on their own rolling schedule.

What is in the visibility score?

The share of a fixed set of probe queries where an assistant named your business, measured per engine and re-run on a schedule. The full definition — which engines, how the questions are chosen, what counts as a mention versus a citation, the formula, the grade bands and the limitations — is written out in the methodology.
