Client-ready evidence packs, retainer loops, and auditable methodology.
Your clients are asked: “Can you get us recommended by ChatGPT?”
Most agencies answer with content calendars. MentionX lets you answer with evidence — mention rate, citation gaps, share of voice — on the same buyer prompts their prospects use.
Deliver auditable AI visibility audits and ongoing GEO retainers without inventing metrics.
| Client question | Weak agency answer | MentionX-backed answer |
|---|---|---|
| “Are we in ChatGPT?” | “We published AI blogs” | “Mention rate 22% on 30 buyer prompts; here are the stored answers” |
| “Who beats us?” | “Competitor X ranks higher” | “SOV: Competitor X 41%, you 18% — same prompts, three engines” |
| “What do we fix?” | “More content” | “Citation gap: g2.com cites them 9×, you 0; ship comparison page + review sprint” |
| “Did it work?” | “Traffic up” | “SOV +6 pts after comparison pages — re-scan evidence attached” |
Agencies win retainers on proof loops, not slideware.

Position as measurement + execution — not “we write AI articles.”
Ethics: Run scans only for clients who authorize domain analysis. Store evidence under their tenant.
Pitch line:
“We don’t guess if ChatGPT recommends you. We run the same questions your buyers ask, store the answers, and show share of voice vs your stack — with proof your CMO can forward.”
Objection — “We have SEO covered”:
“SEO measures rank and click. This measures inclusion in the AI shortlist — a different funnel entry. Here’s a client where rank #2 and AI mention rate 0%.”
Objection — “GEO is hype”:
“Here’s the methodology PDF and three raw ChatGPT responses. Audit us.”
Agencies typically start Nova per client (multi-engine + Boardroom + Mentionie) or Spark for audit-only engagements.
