Live · measuring buyer-intent questions daily

When buyers ask AI for a recommendation, do they get you?

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.

Search stopped being a list of links.

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

From invisible to cited — in three steps.

No consultants, no retainers, no month-long onboarding. Responsii runs the audit, tells you what is broken, and drafts the content that fixes it.

  1. 1About 20 seconds

    Run your audit

    Business name, website, and what kind of business you are — “HVAC companies”, “book publishers”, “employment lawyers”. That last one is what we ask the engines about, so your questions are yours. Nothing to install, no tag on your site, no access to anything you own.

  2. 2Every month

    See what is happening

    Organic mention rate, accuracy, competitor share of voice, and the citation sources the engines are drawing on. It reruns on a schedule, so you can tell whether anything you changed worked.

  3. 3Authorship tier

    Fix it

    Content Studio drafts the blog post, LinkedIn piece or release aimed at the citation sources that actually shape answers in your category — built from your own audit evidence, not a generic template.

What to do about it

Recommendations are part of Authorship, and are in build.
High priority
Publish a lawn care guide on Angi

Angi is the source cited most often in your category's answers. You are not on it.

Medium priority
Seed a thread in r/lawncare

Reddit appears in a growing share of the answers we collect for local services.

Medium priority
Correct your service area on three directories

Two engines described your coverage wrongly. Accuracy is cheaper to fix than reach.

Why trust it

Measurement you can argue with.

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.

We never ask AI about you by name

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. Every headline number here comes from non-branded questions only.

“Not mentioned” and “not tested” are different things

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.

Unknown is never a pass

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 favour. It is the difference between a real number and a comfortable one.

You can check our work

Every response behind every metric is in the report, including the ones we threw out and why. You should be able to argue with your own numbers.

Built for your category

Generic tools will not rank you in 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.

Home services

HVAC · Plumbing · Trades

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.

Franchise and independent
Professional services

Legal · Accounting · Consulting

Buyers ask AI who to trust with something that matters before they ask anyone else. Being the recommended name beats being the advertised one.

Local and national practices
Publishing & media

Publishers · Studios · Agencies

Not local, and not a service call. Buyers ask by specialism — who publishes this kind of book, who makes this kind of film — so the questions follow the specialism, not a postcode.

National · specialism-led
B2B

Software · Suppliers · Services

Long consideration cycles where an assistant is doing the shortlisting. If you are not on the shortlist, you never learn that you were considered.

Query set built per business

Not on this list? That is fine.

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

Bundle AI visibility into your retainer.

Performance marketing agencies, SEO shops and local-marketing consultants can resell Responsii to existing clients, or present it co-branded. Lifetime recurring commission on every active subscription — not a one-off bounty.

Our thesis
AI is the new front door.

SEO took eight years to become table stakes. This is following the same curve, compressed. The businesses that take it seriously first will own their categories.

Our principle
Software, not services.

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.

Our bias
Honest numbers, even when they are bad.

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

Built by operators who watched search change overnight.

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

Answers, before you ask.

What is AI Engine Optimization, and how is it different from SEO?

SEO optimises for a ranking on a page of links. This optimises for being named in an answer, where there is no page of links — just a couple of businesses and a reason. The signals are different too: what matters is which sources an engine draws on and whether you are present in them. Your rankings can be excellent while your mention rate is zero.

Do I need to install anything?

No. There is no script, no tag, and no access to your website or your analytics. We ask the questions from the outside, the way a buyer does, which is also the only way to see what a buyer sees.

Can I not just ask ChatGPT myself?

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.

How long before my mention rate improves?

We do not have an honest number for that yet, so we are not going to invent one. What we can tell you is what moves it: appearing in the sources the engines actually cite for your category. The report names those sources from day one, and every re-run shows you whether the work landed.

Do I need to sign a contract?

No. Every plan is month-to-month and cancellation is self-serve through the billing portal — no call, no retention script.

What is in the free audit?

A real run, just a smaller one: nine non-branded buyer questions answered live, your organic mention rate, the competitors that came up instead, and the sources those answers drew on. The paid report widens it to the full 40-query baseline, adds every question engine by engine, accuracy checking, and re-runs on a schedule.
