Climbs that landed at #1
The search just shifted

Your customers stopped opening Google.

ChatGPT has 883 million monthly users. When they ask “best [your category] in [your city],” the AI gives them one short list of names. Whoever AI cites gets the call. Whoever it skips doesn’t exist.

AI search exploded

31% of US adults already use generative AI search. Gartner expects traditional search to lose 25-40% of its volume to AI by 2026. The customers asking AI today are your highest-intent buyers — people ready to call, book, or buy now.

Old SEO doesn't reach AI

Ranking #1 on Google doesn’t mean ChatGPT names you. Different ranking system, different signals, different inputs. AI engines rank citations based on real-account session activity at scale — not on your sitemap.

Your competitors are already there

Most local businesses haven’t even checked. The ones who have are quietly getting cited by AI today. Every week you wait is a week your competitors get referenced as the answer instead of you.

How it works

Three steps. Card required. $0 today. You confirm before billing.

Step 1 · Day 0

Name your keyword

Sign up in 60 seconds with your business name, category, city, and up to five Core Keyword Clusters we select with you. Card required to start, not charged yet. We verify your business is eligible within 48 hours.

Step 2 · Day 1+

We rank you

Our 10,000-device farm starts ranking work across your selected clusters. Real consumer phones in your buyers’ cities, signed into real accounts. You watch the daily measurement log in your dashboard.

Step 3 · Citation day

AI names you, Russ reviews the proof

When ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini names your business, Russ reviews verified proof and complete manual proof review before billing the card on file. If 45 days pass with no verified citation, your trial closes and you are never charged.

The plan

One offer. One price. No risk.

The same plan an agency would charge $4,000–$8,000/month for. Done by our device farm, not a slide deck. Free until AI names your business.

FAQ

Straight answers

Do I really not pay anything to start?
Right - a card is required to start, but there is no charge today. You sign up with your business name, category, city, and up to five Core Keyword Clusters we select with you. Our 10,000-device farm starts ranking work after signup. We review and send verified proof; billing starts only after you affirmatively confirm that you want to continue. If that proof does not land within 45 days, your trial closes and you are never charged.
How does the billing actually trigger?
We monitor eligible buyer-intent searches on real consumer devices. When your business is named by ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini, Russ reviews the evidence - transcript, screenshot, timestamp, and device fingerprint - and sends you the proof. Billing begins only after you affirmatively confirm that you want to continue.
What if I disagree with your evidence?
Click 'Dispute' in your dashboard. We re-run the same query on a separate device fleet within 2 business days. If the citation doesn't reproduce, the dispute is upheld, you're refunded, and you go back to free monitoring. Full evidence is in your dashboard and exportable as a PDF + JSON archive.
How is this different from my SEO agency?
SEO agencies optimize your website to rank on Google's results page. We rank your business in AI answers using a 10,000-device farm of real consumer phones in your buyers' cities. Different ranking systems, different signals. Most customers keep their SEO agency and add SignalAEO as a separate line item — usually by reallocating budget from a channel that isn't working, not by adding new spend.
Who is NOT a fit for this?
Some categories are restricted because AI engines block them or because our device fleet can't ethically rank them. The full list is in our Acceptable Use Policy: adult content, gambling, firearms, cannabis, regulated finance, MLM, illegal goods, businesses with active reputation crises, businesses whose name is shared by 50+ other businesses nationally, and a few others. We run an eligibility check at signup and close the account with no charge if you don't fit. Better to find out in 48 hours than 4 weeks.
How long can the free period last?
Up to 45 days. Across our published, verified stories the median time to first citation is 14 days. If 45 days pass without a citation, the trial closes automatically, you keep every asset we built (schemas, FAQ packs, content briefs, audit reports), and your card is never charged. Full terms on /guarantee/.
What if I'd rather start with the free audit?
Run it — it's at /audit/. The audit is a 60-second snapshot of where your business stands in AI search today. If you like what you see, come back here and start the trial. The audit results carry forward and we use them to inform your initial query set.
