AI visibility audits · Illinois, USA
ChatGPT answers that question with two or three names. We find out if yours is one of them. If it isn't, we hand you the fix.
Watch it happen
This conversation happens about a billion times a day.
The AI answers with names. Two or three. That's the whole list.
Notice whose name isn't there.
Nobody sends you an alert when this happens. The call just goes to someone else.

What we do
The anchor
We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews about your business the way a real customer would: by name, by category, by town. You get a plain-English report showing where you appear, where you don't, and who gets recommended in your place.
See audit pricing →Your website tells people what you do. It probably tells machines nothing. We add the structured data layer that lets AI platforms read your hours, services, prices, and location without guessing.
We repair the pages AI reads, or build you a site that both people and machines can parse. You're looking at one right now.
AI answers move as models update. A re-run of your audit shows what changed since last quarter. One payment per run. Still no subscription.

From the founder
I'm Phil. I'm a mechanical engineering student at Bradley University, and I built Circle 8 AI myself: the audits, the roadmaps, this website. I trained through Anthropic's official Claude curriculum, coursework and exam included.
I grew up in Illinois, where you ask a neighbor before you Google anything. Lately the neighbor is a chatbot. I kept watching shops I grew up walking into get skipped by ChatGPT while they worried about their Google ranking. Nobody told them it was happening. The agencies that could tell them wanted $800 a month.
So I run the check for a flat price, once. If the report says you're fine, you frame it. If it says you're invisible, you'll know the exact order to fix things in.

Fair questions
Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity things like "best dentist near me." The AI answers with two or three names instead of a page of links. If you're one of the names, you get the call. If you're missing, that customer never learns you exist, and no analytics tool will show you it happened.
No, and this surprises almost everyone we talk to. Google ranks pages. AI platforms answer from training data, citations, and structured information. You can hold the #1 spot on Google and be absent from every AI answer in your category. The audit shows you which situation you're in.
A one-location barbershop and a three-location HVAC company are different amounts of work. We quote inside the published range after a free 15-minute preview call, so you see the exact number before paying anything. No quote ever lands above the range.
No. Every service is a single payment, including the quarterly Re-Check, which you buy one run at a time. Pay, get the deliverable, done. Nothing renews on its own.
Starter and Growth reports arrive in 5 to 7 business days. Done For You takes 2 to 3 weeks because we implement the fixes ourselves. Fill out the form below with your business name and city, or write to Phil@circle8ai.com. Want proof first? Ask for the free 15-minute preview and I'll show you live what AI says about your business.
