Your customers are asking an assistant the questions they used to type into Google, and getting back a single answer naming two or three businesses. Responsii measures whether yours is one of them — then shows you what to fix.
A buyer used to search, skim ten results, and pick from them. You could see that happening: rankings, clicks, sessions, a referrer in your analytics.
Now they ask an assistant and get a recommendation. There is no page of results to rank on and no click to count — and if your name is not in the answer, nothing anywhere in your reporting will tell you that it happened.
It is the first channel in twenty years that is completely invisible from the inside. The only way to know where you stand is to ask it the way your buyers do.
How it works
No consultants, no retainers, no month-long onboarding. Responsii runs the audit, tells you what is broken, and drafts the content aimed at fixing it.
Two minutes to set up: your business name, website, and what kind of business you are — “HVAC companies”, “book publishers”, “employment lawyers”. Then every month: your organic mention rate, accuracy, who the engines name instead, the sources they draw on, and whether AI crawlers can read your site. Nothing to install and no access to anything you own.
Every finding ranked by what would move your number most, with the steps to fix it and a checklist that tracks what you have done. Plus the topics worth writing about, and your business markup and About sentence, generated.
Content Studio drafts the blog posts, social posts, review requests and outreach pitches aimed at the sources that actually shape answers in your category — built from your own audit evidence and your own answers, never invented. And an agency brief, if someone else does the work.
Angi is the source cited most often in your category's answers. Your profile there is thin.
Reddit is among the sources engines cite for your questions. Genuine answers count; promotion gets removed.
Two engines described your coverage wrongly. Accuracy is cheaper to fix than reach.
Why trust it
Anyone can produce a flattering dashboard. These four rules are what keep this one honest, and they are worth reading before you trust a number from anybody.
Ask an assistant whether your company is any good and it will almost always say something flattering. That tells you nothing about whether a stranger who has never heard of you will be pointed your way. So the number that measures visibility comes only from questions that never use your name. We ask a few by name too — to check the engines know who you are — and keep those separate and labeled.
If an engine errors, or we could not reach it, that is what the report says. A gap in our measurement never quietly becomes a miss on your record.
When our scoring is not confident about what an answer meant, that response is flagged and excluded from your rates rather than rounded in your favor. It is the difference between a real number and a comfortable one.
Every question and every engine's verdict is in the report, including the answers we set aside as too uncertain to score. You should be able to argue with your own numbers.
Pricing
One monthly price per plan, from $79. Additional locations are $15/month each. No setup fees, no seat fees, no annual contract, cancel any time.
Built for your category
Every audit is built around the category you give us, so the questions are the ones your buyers actually ask — not a generic template with your name dropped in.
Where a single recommendation is worth a job and there is no brand loyalty to fall back on. The first category we measured, and still the sharpest.
Buyers ask AI who to trust with something that matters before they ask anyone else. Being the recommended name beats being the advertised one.
Not local, and not a service call. Buyers ask by specialty — who publishes this kind of book, who makes this kind of film — so the questions follow the specialty, not a ZIP code.
Long consideration cycles where an assistant is doing the shortlisting. If you are not on the shortlist, you never learn that you were considered.
These are categories we have measured, not a menu you have to pick from. You tell us what kind of business you are, in your own words, and the questions are built around that — whether you sell furnaces, represent plaintiffs, or publish debut fiction.
For agencies and consultants
Performance marketing agencies, SEO shops and local-marketing consultants refer their clients and earn a share of every invoice those clients pay, for as long as they stay — not a one-off bounty. Your client pays Responsii directly; the relationship stays yours.
Approved partners get a referral link and a partner page showing every client they referred and every dollar earned. Commission is on what clients pay before tax, paid on the last day of the following month. Co-branded reports at Gold are in build. Read the program terms.
Apply to partnerAn agency account puts every client you manage under one login, each with its own reports and plan, on one monthly invoice — at a discount that grows with your client list. No commission; you simply pay less.
SEO took years to become table stakes. This looks like the same curve, compressed. The businesses that take it seriously early will be the ones the engines already know.
We do not sell retainers or consulting hours. We sell a product that measures your visibility on a schedule and tells you what to do next, in plain language.
A zero is a useful result. A flattering dashboard is not. Everything here is built so you can check the number yourself and disagree with it.
About
It started with one observation: when we asked AI engines to recommend a lawyer, an HVAC company or an accountant, the same handful of brands came back — regardless of who actually served the city best. The winners were not the businesses that had earned the recommendation. They were the ones present in the citation sources the engines quietly rely on.
That is a solvable problem, and it is the one we built Responsii to solve. Not with a retainer. Not with a six-month engagement. With software that measures where you stand, every month, and shows you exactly what to fix.
FAQ
SEO optimizes for a ranking on a page of links. AEO optimizes for being named in an answer, where there is no page of links — just a couple of businesses and a reason. It builds on good SEO rather than replacing it, but the signals shift: which sources an engine draws on, whether you are mentioned there, and whether your own pages answer the question plainly. Your rankings can be excellent while your mention rate is zero.
No. There is no script, no tag, and no access to your analytics or accounts. We ask the questions from the outside, the way a buyer does, and we read your public homepage the way an AI crawler does — to check the engines can actually read it.
You can, and you should — it is a useful hour. What you cannot do by hand is ask dozens of buyer-intent questions across several engines every month and tell, reliably, whether last month's changes moved anything. And the question most people try first — asking about themselves by name — is the one question guaranteed not to tell them the truth.
We have not measured our own figure yet, so we will not invent one. Published industry research puts it at days to weeks for technical fixes — crawlers blocked, pages the engines cannot read — and two to six months for content and mentions. What moves it is appearing in the sources the engines actually cite for your category; the report names them from day one, and every re-run shows you whether the work landed.
No. Every plan is month-to-month and cancellation is self-serve through the billing portal — no call, no retention script.
A real run, just a smaller one: eleven buyer questions answered live by two engines — nine that never use your name and two that do — your organic mention rate, the competitors that came up instead, and the sources those answers drew on. The paid report widens it to up to 40 questions across every engine we support, adds accuracy checking and a website check, and re-runs every month. Coaching adds the recommendations and the steps to fix each one.
