AI visibility baseline (Coastline · COAST)

Measures recommendation visibility — who AI names when buyers ask category questions.
Citation readiness (SIGNALS-style) is not the same job; COAST measures the business-level recommendation outcome.
Output: documented findings on the record, improvement list, comparable verify rerun.

SEO audit

Starts with crawl, indexing, keyword intent, and site health.
Focus: rankings, traffic, and conversion through search engines.
Output: technical fixes and content plan.

Reputation management

Starts with reviews, listings accuracy, and brand perception.
Focus: trust signals that influence decisions.
Output: review ops, listing hygiene, response strategy.

Where they overlap

Accurate service coverage and location signals
Consistent citations across profiles and directories
Clear entity naming and about-page clarity
Content that matches real questions buyers ask

We prioritize fixes that help both classic search and AI retrieval — but we measure impact using prompts and model outputs, not keyword rank positions.

When AI visibility work is the right first move

You need a defensible readout quickly, you are seeing competitor misattribution in AI answers, or leadership wants evidence tied to realistic discovery prompts.

When you should start elsewhere

Your website is broken, listings are wildly inaccurate, or basic profiles are missing. We will still surface these — classic hygiene may come first.

Truth boundary

AI answers vary by provider, model, prompt wording, and retrieval context. We only treat deltas as comparable when the prompt pack, provider, model, and date are held constant. COAST totals are diagnostic summaries of a defined test set — not probabilities of recommendation.
