How I built a measurable free-to-$29 AI visibility funnel

A developer built Answer Visibility Lab, a tool that helps founders and SEO teams check whether AI answer engines can understand, cite, and recommend a brand. The tool generates buyer-intent prompts for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, maps competitors, and turns missing AI mentions into concrete page and GEO work. The developer instrumented the complete path in GA4 and is running an A/B test on the $29 Pro CTA copy.

I built Answer Visibility Lab to help founders and SEO teams check whether AI answer engines can understand, cite, and recommend a brand.

The checker generates buyer-intent prompts for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. It also maps competitors and turns missing AI mentions into concrete page and GEO work.

It deliberately does not pretend to measure live rankings without running the prompts. The output is a repeatable audit workflow: prompt set, comparison ideas, citation fields, and technical fixes.

I instrumented the complete path in GA4:

Campaign UTMs are persisted through the journey and passed to Payhip, so a purchase can be traced back to the actual community post instead of being grouped into direct traffic.

I am changing only one variable: the $29 Pro CTA copy.

The experiment runs for at least seven days and will not be called early without enough Pro-offer views per version.

If you do SEO, GEO, agency audits, or founder-led marketing, I would value blunt feedback:
