The Answer Gap Method™

AI is answeringyour buyers.It isn't naming you.

Your buyers stopped scrolling ten blue links. They ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok or Google's AI one question and get one answer — with names in it. Find out in sixty seconds whether yours is one of them.

  • Takes about 60 seconds. No credit card.
  • No sales call — ever. That's a written guarantee.

What changed

01

One answer

Search used to return ten options and let your buyer choose. AI returns one recommendation and moves on. Being on page one of nothing is still nothing.

02

Named rivals

When an AI engine answers a buying question, it names specific companies. Right now it is naming someone in your city. The only question is who.

03

No traffic signal

You will not see this in Google Analytics. There is no referrer for a recommendation you never received. That is why most businesses find out late.

The mechanism

Three layers. One number.

Most audits score whether Google can crawl you. That is one third of the problem now. The Answer Gap Score measures the distance between what AI engines say today and what they would say if your business were readable, corroborated and citable.

Layer 1

Findable

The technical floor. Crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, sitemaps, canonicals, schema coverage. If a machine cannot read the page, nothing downstream matters.

Core Web VitalsIndexationSchemallms.txt
Layer 2

Citable

Whether an AI engine can safely repeat you. Entity consistency across your site, Google Business Profile and the wider web; answer-format content; the corroboration that turns a claim into a citation.

Layer 3

Chosen

The part no free audit widget does. We put fifteen real buyer questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok and Google's AI Overviews — then record, word for word, who gets named instead of you.

What you actually get

The report, before you buy it.

Not a mockup of a dashboard you will never log into. This is the shape of the document that lands in your inbox — the score, the verbatim AI answers, the findings and the markup to paste.

No Organization or LocalBusiness entity

Nothing on the page states who you are in machine-readable form — no name, address, phone or sameAs links. Engines that cannot resolve you to an entity will not name you.

9 pages with no meta description

Left to the engine on 9 of the 24 pages we crawled — that many summaries of your practice, written by someone other than you.

Illustrative example. Northgate Dental is not a real practice — your report contains your own site, your own competitors, and the answers the engines actually gave on the day we asked.

Two guarantees

One of them is about what we won't do.

The No-Call Guarantee

Nobody from JMI will ever call you because of this purchase. There is a link in the report if you want to talk to us. If you don't use it, you will never hear from a salesperson.

The Find-Nothing Refund

If the audit doesn't surface at least ten fixable issues, or at least three buyer questions where AI names a competitor instead of you, it's free. Keep the report.

Objections

The fair questions

Asked in good faith, answered the same way.

Honestly: we cannot tell you how much revenue AI search is moving for your business, and neither can anyone quoting you a percentage. The thing that makes this hard to see is the same thing that makes it hard to measure — a recommendation you never received leaves no referrer. What the scan shows is narrower and checkable: asked the questions your buyers actually ask, do the engines name you or name someone else. That is a fact about today, recorded word for word, and you have it before you spend anything.

Good. Hand them the dev-ready CSV. Most SEO retainers were never scoped for entity and citation work. If yours was, you'll score well and we'll say so in writing.

Then the report says exactly that, and you get your money back under the Find-Nothing Refund. We don't manufacture a gap that isn't there.
