The challenge

Why Architects & Designers struggle with AI visibility

Invisible to AI models

Your portfolio disappears in generative AI searches. Clients find competitors instead of your work.

Unknown AI indexing status

You don't know if ChatGPT or Claude can see your projects, qualifications, or case studies.

Technical SEO gaps undetected

Hidden crawl errors and metadata issues prevent AI platforms from understanding your expertise.

Lost competitive advantage

Rivals rank higher in AI responses. Your design practice gets overlooked by AI-powered discovery.
