The founding pilot
One service. One area. Something worth learning.
A focused starting point for service business owners who want a clearer website and an honest view of their AI search visibility.
$500 / 30 days
Proposed founding-pilot fee. The first conversation and fit check cost nothing; scope, technical readiness and dates are agreed before any payment, and nothing renews automatically afterwards.
What’s included?
- A conversation about the jobs you want, your service area and your website setup.
- Ten agreed questions, repeated three times per selected engine to establish a baseline.
- One approved improvement to a scoped page or business-information issue.
- A follow-up using the same questions and settings.
- A concise report, supporting answer evidence and a findings call.
Four selected engines mean 120 requests per phase. We confirm the engine selection and request count in the proposal.

Preview a report with clearly labeled fictional data: the agreed change, separate engine results, incomplete measurements and a next decision. Real pilot evidence is provided after the measurements; this preview is not a customer success story.
Who is it for?
An owner who has a specific service they want to grow, capacity for more work, a way to approve website edits and willingness to share inquiry information. Roofing, HVAC and other service businesses are welcome to discuss a pilot.
We check whether our measurement configuration supports your industry, target service and location before agreeing to start. Website editing access, a clear target service and a manageable location or audience are required. An inquiry does not mean the measurement system already supports your industry. We do not substitute results from another market.

Who makes the website edit?
Before starting, we confirm who built the site, the platform, whether you can edit it and whether your current agreement covers updates. We agree whether we or your existing provider will publish the scoped change, how you approve it and how it can be reversed. Ongoing maintenance is a separate service.

How does the month work?
- Scope and baseline: verify the business, agree the questions and review complete starting evidence before editing.
- One approved change: record the hypothesis, publish the agreed improvement and save the publication date.
- Follow-up and review: repeat the measurements at the agreed checkpoint and discuss the findings.
The month is a delivery window, not a promise that search systems will respond within 30 days. If access or indexing delays affect the schedule, we agree how to handle them.
What’s outside the pilot?
Full website rebuilds, ongoing hosting or IT support, ad spend, extensive content production and third-party provider charges require a separate agreement. Existing website providers can make the approved edit if that is the right arrangement.
A defined piece of work, a repeatable measurement process and an honest report. We cannot guarantee recommendations, citations, rankings, leads or booked jobs.
Questions before starting
Do I need a new website?
Not necessarily. We first review the existing site and how it is maintained. A single useful improvement may fit the pilot; substantial repair or a rebuild needs its own scope.
Do I need to be listed on License Card?
License Card is a separate public directory. It is not the agency’s product or a promise of preferential public scoring. We verify the technical enrollment path for your business before the pilot starts.
Will this tell me exactly where every lead came from?
No. We ask you to keep a simple inquiry log, but visibility measurements do not automatically attribute calls or revenue to AI answers.
Start with a useful question.
Which service do you want more customers for—and how do they find you today?
