The

prob

Your customers are searching differently. And most brands have no idea where they stand.

ChatGPT alone now handles more than a billion queries a week. Add Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, and a meaningful slice of every customer search — "best pet insurance," "alternatives to BetterHelp," "is [your brand] legit" — never touches Google.

Most brands haven't measured this. They assume they show up. They don't. We've audited brands with five-figure SEO budgets that return 0% on the prompts their actual buyers are typing.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

A real audit. Not another dashboard

1

The Audit

20 prompts across four LLMs. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Clean-room testing, scored for mention rate, position, sentiment, and accuracy.

2

The Report

A 4-5 page branded report. Where you appear. Where you disappear. The specific prompts your buyers are using that come back without your name. Sent as a PDF or Word doc, not a login.

3

Action Items

2-3 specific recommendations. Not "do more SEO." The exact pages we'd build, the exact gaps we'd close, the exact next steps for your team — or ours, if you want help.

           How we actually test this.

1. Clean-room testing
Every prompt runs in a fresh session on every model. No memory, no personalization, no contamination from prior queries. Most "AI visibility tools" skip this and end up measuring their own profile, not yours.
2. Four LLMs, every time. 
 Your customers don't use one. The audit covers Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity because that's where actual buying decisions are being made.
3. Structured scoring.
Every model-prompt cell is rated for whether you appear, what position you land in, the sentiment of the mention, and whether the model got the facts right. The numbers are defensible. The framework is the same one we use for paying clients at $3,500 a pop.

That's the rigor. The output is a human answer, not a data dump

why this isn't another dashboard

There's already SaaS for this. It's not very good.

Profound, Otterly, Athena, Peec. They exist. They'll sell you a login and a stream of metrics. They will not tell you what to do.

Small-business CEOs don't have time to interpret another dashboard. They have time to read a four-page report that says: here's where you're invisible, here's why, here's what fixes it.

We do the rigor in the back end. The output is the answer.

Who's behind it?

Run by Mike Cahill at Loupe and Blade

I've spent 20 years doing SEO and content strategy for small and mid-size brands. Started Loupe and Blade in [year] to focus on the part of search work that actually moves revenue — the strategy, not the keyword reports.

AI search changes the game, but it doesn't change the work. The brands that win in Claude and ChatGPT are the ones that already win in Google, plus a few specific moves to surface in the new corpora. I've spent the last 10 years auditing brands across pet insurance, mental health, e-commerce, and B2B SaaS to figure out what those specific moves are.

Loupe and Blade is a boutique consultancy. We take 3-5 active clients at a time. Engagements are senior-led — you work with me, not an account manager. Capacity is intentional and limited each quarter.

This audit is the front of the funnel. If you find it valuable and want help executing, we can talk about ongoing work.

Loupe and Blade — SEO, AEO, and growth marketing. Senior-led. Three to five engagements at a time. Founded 2005 in Chicago.
