01 /How the audit works

You review the questions before anything runs.

Crendo looks at your brand from a buyer's perspective, suggests the questions they're likely to ask, and lets you decide what gets tested.

  1. 01

    Add your site

    Crendo learns what you sell, who it is for, and the category you compete in.

  2. 02

    Confirm the buyer questions

    Review the questions Crendo suggests, refine them if needed, and choose what gets tested.

    Find where you're recommended, mentioned or absent — then see who wins instead and what to improve first.

02 /Where AI sees you

A mention isn't
a recommendation.

Crendo separates being referenced from actually making the shortlist.

Your strongest intent is Alternatives; Agency remains the clearest gap. Not a search ranking.

07 /Questions

The questions an analytical buyer asks.

What counts as a recommendation?

Your brand is placed on the answer's shortlist for the buyer question — named as an option to choose, not just referenced in passing. A passing reference is recorded as a mention, and no appearance at all is recorded as absent.

How are the buyer questions chosen?

Crendo reads your site to infer your category, offering, audience and competitive set, then generates questions a buyer would realistically ask across broad category, alternatives, use case and segment intents.

Can I edit them before the audit?

Yes. You review Crendo's understanding of your brand and the question set before anything is measured. You can correct, remove or add questions and context.

Which AI systems do you check?

The audit currently measures grounded answers from OpenAI and Gemini models. Each answer is stored with its evidence so results can be rechecked over time.

Is the initial report free?

Yes. The first audit is free and requires no signup. Ongoing weekly tracking of the same questions is part of the paid plan.

Why might my ChatGPT app answer look different?

Consumer apps layer memory, personalization and session context on top of the model. Crendo measures the model's grounded answer to the same question through the API, which gives a stable, repeatable baseline rather than one person's session.
