Founder
Megan Martin, MPH founded Coastline Metrics to measure whether AI recommends a business, fix the evidence those answers rely on, and verify what changed. Coastline Metrics is an AI visibility intelligence company based in Bradenton, Florida, serving Sarasota and Manatee counties and clients nationwide.
Founder & CEO of Coastline Metrics
Megan Martin, MPH, has spent more than twenty years inside the commercial reality of healthcare and owner-led businesses: how trust is earned, how reputation travels, and how referrals actually turn into booked work.
That work taught her a hard lesson about growth. Looking established online is not the same as being the name buyers hear when they ask who to hire. Today those questions increasingly go to ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI assistants — and whoever gets named gets the call.
She founded Coastline Metrics in Bradenton, FL in 2026 to close that gap: measure what AI says under real buyer questions, fix the evidence those answers rely on, and verify what changed. Coastline is founder-led and evidence-first — inspectable findings, done-for-you implementation, and honest limits. No guaranteed placement in any single assistant.
Her writing on AI discovery for local businesses appeared in the Anna Maria Island Sun (June 2026).
Coastline Metrics is founder-led end to end: Megan runs the measurement, signs the deliverables, and stays accountable for honest limits — including low-n directional evidence and no guarantee of placement in any single assistant.
Measuring how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews (and agreed additional surfaces) name and describe a business under realistic buyer questions.
Improving the public evidence assistants retrieve and quote — site clarity, entity signals, citations, and listings — then verifying with comparable reruns.
Structuring service and local signals so assistants can cite the right business when buyers ask conversational category questions.
Twenty-plus years inside referral, reputation, and trust dynamics for healthcare organizations and owner-operated service businesses.
Turning named/not-named findings into prioritized public corrections — then proving the answers moved with the same prompt class.
