No pay-to-play rank movement

Ranking placement cannot be purchased. Lead capture, future referral relationships, corrections, and evidence submissions remain separate from scoring.

AI Visibility is a lens

AI Visibility measures findability, citation clarity, and public proof explainability. It does not replace production proof, reviews, identity clarity, or direct interviews.
