AI Shortlist Scan

AI Shortlist Scan: your competitor is the answer every AI gives your buyers.

An AI Shortlist Scan is a one-time, $497 check on whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude recommend your brand or a named competitor for real buying-stage questions: 15 buyer-language prompts, run three times each across all four engines, with results in three days.

Being recommended by name isn't a fixed fact about your brand. It's closer to a coin flip than most teams assume: a 14,000-API-call Conductor study found brand overlap between repeated runs of the identical prompt ranging from just 40% at the purchase-decision moment to 63% for comparison queries. The shortlist a buyer sees can look meaningfully different from the one you'd see checking five minutes later. If you've never run the check, you don't know which shortlist you're currently on.

What we actually ask

Not your brand name. The questions a real buyer types before they've ever heard of you:

Built for your actual category and named competitors before anything gets run, the same filtering discipline covered in building a fixed prompt set.

Who actually needs this

A real finding

One line, unedited, from a real scan run for a mid-market B2B SaaS company

"Invisible on both fully unbranded 'best of' prompts, on every engine, every time — and its one unbranded win rested on a single low-authority content-marketing page that one of the four engines had already flagged and rejected as likely SEO content-farming."

How it works

  1. We write 15 prompts in your buyers' own words, for your category and your named competitors, not with your brand name baked in.
  2. Each prompt runs three times across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude: 180 runs, so one odd response can't swing the read.
  3. You get a table of your mention rate and shortlist rate against named competitors, what each engine is citing, and a short video walking through it.

Is this the same as other "AI Shortlist Scans"?
No, more than one firm uses this name. This one is a fast, $497, 3-day check against 15 buyer-language prompts. If you've seen a pricier, slower version elsewhere, that's a different product with a different scope, not the same thing at a different price.
What is an AI Shortlist Scan?
An AI Shortlist Scan is a one-time, $497 check on whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude recommend your brand or a named competitor for real buying-stage questions: 15 buyer-language prompts, run three times each across all four engines, with results in three days.
Is this the same as a full AI visibility audit?
No. The Scan checks one thing: are you, or a named competitor, showing up in real buying-stage prompts. It doesn't tell you why. The Baseline Diagnostic goes further and explains the why (crawler access, entity consistency, content, earned presence). The Scan is the fast, cheap way to find out if the deeper dig is worth it.
Is three runs per prompt actually enough to trust?
It's enough to rule out one lucky or unlucky screenshot, which is what most "I checked ChatGPT and we're there" claims actually are. It's not the same rigor as an ongoing tracking program, which needs far more runs over weeks. This is a directional read, not a continuously-tracked score, and we say so upfront.
What if there's nothing wrong?
Then you'll know that for certain too. A clean scan is real information, not a wasted $497. Most brands we run this for have at least one gap they didn't know about.
How is this different from a traditional SEO audit?
A traditional SEO audit looks at how your pages rank in Google's results. AI engines don't rank pages, they read across sources and decide who to recommend. This scan measures that decision directly: real buyer prompts, run against the actual engines, so you see who gets named instead of inferring it from keyword rankings.
What about Google AI Overviews, Bing, or regular search results?
Not in this scan. We test four conversational engines here, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, run the same way each time, so the read stays comparable. The Baseline Diagnostic covers all of those plus Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Brave Search, Google and Bing's own search results, and DuckDuckGo, going wider across surfaces and deeper into why, not just whether.
Do you work with companies outside the US?
Yes. AI engines answer the same way regardless of where you're based, as long as your buyers are researching in English. We build the 15 prompts around your category, geography, and named competitors, wherever you're located.

Same disclosed methodology as everything else on this site: no predictive claims, no guaranteed rankings, just what the models actually said when we asked, three times each.
