The problem with one number
AI recommends different brands to different buyers
Visibility here means how often your brand comes up when AI answers a buying question. Brands are scattered from nearly invisible to nearly everywhere, and very few sit near the middle.

The prompts
Shallow prompts produce shallow answers
Most tools ask AI keyword-style questions, then report on whatever comes back. Gumshoe asks the way your buyers actually ask.

Built on the Gumshoe personas and prompt engine
Questions about the Starter Plan
What do I get for $99 a month?
A monthly Visibility Audit built from 8 personas, 10 prompts per persona, across 6 models, which is roughly 480 real AI conversations a month. Plus a weekly Snapshot Audit so you catch movement between full runs, 10 Technical Audit runs, and 3 content generation runs.
How is this different from the free sample?
The free sample is one look: 4 personas, 5 prompts per persona, 4 models, run once. Starter doubles the personas and prompts, adds two more models, and reruns every month with a weekly Snapshot in between.
Is the price per account or per project?
Per project. If a brand needs one Visibility Audit a month, that is one subscription.
Can I edit the personas and prompts?
Yes. Gumshoe proposes the personas the models associate with your brand and the prompts those buyers would ask, and you can edit any of them, delete the ones that miss, or add your own.
What does the Pro Plan add?
Starter measures. Pro diagnoses. The Pro Plan at $299/mo adds the Content, Sentiment, and Citation Audits, a daily Snapshot instead of weekly, 50 Technical Audit runs, and 10 content generation runs. You can start on Starter and upgrade whenever.
Is there a contract?
No annual commitment. Starter is $99 a month per project and you can cancel anytime.
