We put the prices on the website and the failures in the case studies.
Five promises. Each one is checkable, and each one costs us something to keep — that's the only reason any of them mean anything. Our prices are published. Our measurement method is published. The audit we ran on our own business came back 0 of 36, and we published that too.
Free, on your real domain. No card, no call required first.
Why does this page exist?
In July 2026 I got a cold email telling me that ChatGPT doesn't mention my business. It listed three competitors it does mention.
It worked on me. I thought about it for days and brought it up unprompted the following week. Whoever wrote it knew exactly what they were doing.
Then a second one arrived, same play, ChatGPT swapped for Claude — and the whole thing fell apart. There was nothing behind it. One question, one screenshot, one alarming sentence, and no answer to the only thing I actually wanted to know: what do I do about it?
The fear was legitimate. The diagnosis was correct. Nobody was doing the work on the other side of it. So we built that side, and then we wrote this page so you can hold us to it.

What are the five promises?
Anybody can say they're honest. It only counts when it costs something, so each promise below lists what it costs us.
Our prices are published
The actual monthly figures sit on the website where anyone, including our competitors, can read them. No "contact us for pricing," no discovery call required before you are allowed to learn what something costs.
What it costs us: We give up the ability to read the room and price by what a prospect looks like they can afford.
See the pricing pageOur measurement method is published
Seventy-three checks across seven packs, fifty-five real buyer questions, and every AI model scored separately so a decent average cannot hide a channel where you are invisible. The methodology carries a version number, because changing how you measure without saying so makes every comparison after it fiction.
What it costs us: Anyone can read exactly how we do this and copy it.
See the full methodologyWe published our own failure
We ran the audit on ourselves before we sold it to anyone, and it came back naming us in zero of thirty-six measured answers. We put that number on this page instead of waiting for one that flattered us.
What it costs us: The first thing a prospect learns about us is that we were bad at the thing we sell.
A person does the work, and you approve it
You review every proposed change before it goes live. We do the approved work during the week, measure again against the same ruler, and report what moved — including what did not. A score is not work, and a PDF has never fixed anybody’s website.
What it costs us: It does not scale the way selling reports does.
We will tell you when AI is not the answer
Some problems are a phone call, a spreadsheet, or hiring somebody. Automation pays when the same thing happens the same way repeatedly; if your work is genuinely different every time, we will say so rather than sell you a system you will fight with.
What it costs us: We talk ourselves out of paid work, on purpose, in writing, on this page.
How does Bodark score on its own audit?
We ran the Visibility Agent on our own business before we sold it to anyone. This is the result, not a summary of it.
- Overall score
- 25.3
- Methodology
- v1
- Measured
- 2026-08-03
Not a low score. Zero. The company selling AI visibility was not visible.
We could have fixed it quietly and launched once the case study flattered us. The number was never the point — what we needed to know was whether the tool told the truth when the truth was embarrassing. It did. It named the exact questions we vanished on and the sources trusted in our place, and every one of those became a task.
Last verified 2026-08-03 against the sweep record. Methodology version v1 — we only ever compare sweeps measured with the same ruler.
What won't Bodark do?
A list of things we decline is more useful to you than a list of things we offer, so here is the honest one.
- We do not guarantee search rankings or AI citations. Nobody can, and anybody who does is selling you something they cannot deliver.
- We do not lock you into a long contract on the monthly website plans. If the work stops being worth it, you stop paying.
- We do not resell somebody else’s dashboard as our own product.
- We do not send an audit that only contains successes. Every report we deliver includes what failed.
- We do not name a client in public without their recorded written consent, even when the result makes us look good.
- We do not claim to measure AI engines we are not actually running.
- We do not build AI into a process that works fine without it.
- We do not quote a number that changes based on how your business looks from the outside.
What does it cost?
The actual monthly figures. No "starting at," no call required before you're allowed to know.

| AI visibility, ongoing | $750/mo | First three months, then $300/mo once the foundation holds |
Setup on the monthly website plans is $0. If these figures ever disagree with our pricing page, tell us — that contradiction is exactly the thing this page promises won't happen.
