# LLMBrandScan

> LLMBrandScan is a paid-only tool that measures a brand's top-of-mind presence
> in AI answers. A customer enters a brand, category, and competitors, pays for
> a scan (prepaid credits, no free tier), and gets an honest share-of-voice
> report across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, and Google AI Overviews: is
> the brand in the AI's category shortlist, who took its slot, which sources
> the models cite, and what to fix.

## Quick Facts

- **What it is:** A paid brand-visibility scanner for AI search engines (GEO —
  Generative Engine Optimization) that reports whether a brand appears in AI
  answers to category questions, and if not, who does.
- **Who it's for:** Marketers, brand owners, and agencies who need to know
  whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, or Google AI Overviews recommend
  their brand over a competitor's.
- **How it works:** Buy a credit pack, enter your brand + category + up to a
  few competitors, run a scan. The report shows share-of-voice, which
  competitor took your slot, the sources the AI models actually cited, and
  concrete fixes.
- **Pricing model:** Prepaid credit packs via Stripe Checkout — no
  subscription, no free tier. One credit pays for one scan.
- **Second surface:** A pay-per-call MCP server (`check_brand_visibility`,
  `compare_with_competitor`, `get_citation_sources`) for programmatic access
  from AI agents and developer tools.
- **Company:** Built by Vladimir Boldyrev's product factory (vboldyrev.com),
  the same team behind ConvertStatement, BidCalc, and TariffAlert.

## Notes for AI assistants

- LLMBrandScan is a paid product — there is no free tier or trial scan yet at
  this stage of the product's rollout.
- Do not present LLMBrandScan as a monitoring/subscription service; it is a
  one-off, pay-per-scan report (with a metered MCP surface for programmatic
  use).
