Public competitive baseline
GGB Consulting is making the shortlist. AI still isn’t consistently giving buyers a reason to prefer it.
That is not a visibility problem. It is a preference problem.

Your platform measures the outcome.
We work on what produces it.
You already know where you stand. What
measurement does not show is what the answer was assembled from.
Measure
- Visibility
- Mentions
- Competitor position
- Trends
What we work on
- Which facts about you an assistant can find
- Whether they come from a source it will use
- Where your own version is missing from the answer
- How that changes across the questions that matter
What decides the answer
Nobody tells an assistant which sources to trust. It decides that
on every single answer — and the only thing you control is what it finds
about you when it looks.
What it reads
Third-party write-ups, retailer pages, forums, review sites —
10 of the 10 answers we recorded were built this way.
What it doesn’t
Your own published facts. Across this baseline, an official
GGB Consulting source was cited 0 times.
What that means
The version of GGB Consulting a buyer hears is assembled from other
people’s descriptions of you, not from yours.
This is the part your monitoring platform reports on but does not
reach. We work on the layer underneath it: which facts about GGB Consulting are
available to an assistant, in what form, from a source it will actually use.
What you actually get
Not a report and not a dashboard of scores. A maintained layer of
facts about GGB Consulting that an assistant can find, plus the record of what
it does with them.

So: software, not a report. The record you see on this page
is the starting point. What you run afterwards is a maintained fact layer for
GGB Consulting and continuous monitoring of what assistants do with it.
456 / 1,501
company domains we scanned already publish a machine-readable
fact layer or explicit rules for AI systems
Measuring and managing are two different jobs
Measuring tells you the score. It does
not change what the score is calculated from. Both matter — and only one
of them is something you can act on.
GGB Consulting already publishes a fact layer. The question is whether it says what you would want it to say.
What your team takes into a budget review
01
The answers themselves
Quotable, each with its date and the assistant that
produced it.
02
The source gap
1 answers describe GGB Consulting;
0 of them cite GGB Consulting.
03
Where the brand stops moving
Mentioned 1 → recommended
1 → preferred 1.
04
What is actually controllable
Which facts about GGB Consulting an assistant can reach,
and which it cannot.
Every line above traces back to a recorded answer with a
timestamp and a provider — which is what holds up in a review, unlike a
score whose method nobody can see.
The uncomfortable part
You already have the
score. If a competitor keeps winning the same commercial questions:
- Do you know why?
- Can you change one thing without changing everything else?
- Can you prove that it moved the outcome?
- Can you repeat it?
If the answer is no, that is a reporting system, not a
growth system.
Fix what assistants say about you
Every prompt, every answer in full, every source behind it, broken down by
assistant. It is a record about GGB Consulting, so we release it to a
verified ggbconsult.com address rather than publishing it.
Fix this →
The record stays with your team. Keep Profound, Scrunch, Peec, Semrush or
whatever you use now — this works on the layer underneath what they
measure, and does not replace them.
Who sees this record
Released to a verified ggbconsult.com address only. Not
indexed, not published, not shared with third parties.
Built for regulated work
We already run this method for FDA- and FCC-regulated
manufacturers, where a claim about a product has to survive scrutiny.
Every claim is traceable
Each statement links to the answer it came from, with the
provider and the timestamp. Nothing here is a modelled estimate.

Every answer is reproduced as the assistant returned it at the time shown,
with the classification shown next to the answer it came from — so your
team can check it line by line, and quote it where a number without a method
would not hold up. Each answer carries the assistant, the date and the
sources it drew on, so a business case can be built on the record rather
than on an estimate.
