3.64/ 5
M1 · Own AI-visibility 3 · 9%
Absent from category recall on both engines (the AEO/GEO shortlists named other players). But brand recall present-and-accurate on both: ChatGPT — 'long-running digital marketing agency with an established reputation (PPC/Google Ads); extensive independent recognition and industry mentions beyond its own website'; Claude — 'strong, clean independent footprint: Richmond VA, in business since 2009, Google Premier Partner; verified across Clutch, DesignRush, Yelp, Glassdoor, BBB A+, Birdeye (110 reviews, 4.8) — the cleanest of the set.'
M2 · Method transparency 4 · 16%
A clear six-stage process is published ("Initial Strategy Meeting / Custom Content Strategy / Professional Content Creation / Collaborative Review & Revisions / Publication Flexibility / Technical SEO Optimizations") with concrete deliverables (titles, meta, alt tags, links, schema markup, Entity Maps), but no metrics, ranking timelines or benchmarks. source ↗
M3 · Evidence verifiability 3 · 23%
No named clients or case studies, but a linkable third-party aggregate exists — "rated 4.9 out of 5 stars on 382 reviews" pointing to the agency's Google Maps profile; the "600,000 leads generated" figure is an unverified aggregate. source ↗
M4 · Pricing openness 5 · 12%
Full published tiers — Content Package 1 $399/mo (500 words), Content Package 2 $799/mo (3,000 words), per-project $299 + $0.50/word, plus full-service bundles $499–$3,499/mo. source ↗
M5 · AI reachability 5 · 10%
robots.txt does not block the key AI crawlers and the homepage is server-rendered (2574 words to a non-JS reader); it also publishes an llms.txt. source ↗
E1 · Segment fit 5 · 12%
editorial — Explicitly "for Small Business | Affordable SEO Services" with self-serve "Sign Up!" buttons and "month-to-month plans with absolutely no long-term contracts". source ↗
E2 · Promise cleanliness 3 · 18%
editorial — Mild puffery, nothing guaranteed — "help your business climb the rankings", "Ready to Claim Your Spot on Page 1?", "AI citations that belong to you". Notably honest on AI use: "100% original, researched, written, and edited by human creators". No ranking guarantee or money-back. source ↗
◧ M1 cross-engine — ChatGPT: present-and-accurate — long-running agency, extensive independent recognition beyond own site · Claude: present-and-accurate — Richmond VA since 2009, Google Premier Partner; Clutch/Yelp/Glassdoor/BBB A+/Birdeye · recorded, not averaged
A clean, affordable SMB content service: clear process, fully published prices, an honest human-written disclosure, and a real 382-review Google profile that gives the evidence axis something checkable. The honest read is that the AEO/GEO angle is mostly citation framing on a solid SEO-content offer rather than a distinct generative-engine method — the gate passes on its named-engine/schema signals. Own-visibility (M1) provisional.

What this ruler does NOT measure Track-record depth and the volume of named cases favour older incumbents we cannot fully see; NDA-bound outcomes are unscored. We weight reproducible, buyer-checkable signal on purpose — and we list ourselves on the same ruler.
