When someone asks ChatGPT for a marketing consultant in Vancouver and doesn’t name anyone, some businesses get named and most don’t. An audit measures which one you are, and why.
We ask four engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini — the questions a customer would actually type, without naming any business. Then we record two things separately, because they are not the same thing:
Your own website is rarely what gets you named. In our own measurements, most businesses that engines name are named from someone else’s page — a directory, a ranking, a local publication. So the question that changes anything is not “how do I rank my site”, it is which pages the engine already reads, and can I be on them.
That is what the audit produces: the list of pages that decide your category, sorted by whether you can get onto them yourself, whether it needs an editor, or whether it is closed.
| Question | What comes back |
|---|---|
| Does the engine name you? | Per engine and per question, with the raw answers kept |
| Which pages decide your category? | Every cited domain, classified by how you get in |
| Which of those can you act on? | Ordered by reachable-now, with who does it and how it is checked |
| Did it work? | Before and after, measured with the same instrument |
It does not promise traffic or sales — only appearing. It does not promise a position, because nobody controls that. Where we could not measure something, the report says not verifiable instead of zero: an engine that failed to answer is not a business that was absent.
Bigfoot Intelligence Inc. is a small, family-run consultancy in Vancouver, BC. We are one team and one point of contact, not four vendors blaming each other.
We hand you measured numbers you can check yourself, not a report you have to take on faith. We make sure a person answers, and that the same person does the work and walks you through it.
We started in 2026 and we say so: you get the attention only a new, small firm can give.
We cover the whole picture: marketing and positioning, social media, websites, IT and automation. The audit is where most clients start, not where we stop.
