Anonymized client work

From a short product brief to a production AI visibility SaaS platform

What began as an early GEO monitoring concept evolved into a workspace-based SaaS connecting AI visibility, site readiness, competitive intelligence, actionable workflows and historical validation.

Next.jsLaravelMulti-tenant SaaSAI analysis

Context

The initial brief described a client portal for GEO monitoring: scan a website using AI, produce a basic score and report, then expand into recommendations, rescans and paid plans.

Approach

The platform evolved around two complementary analytical perspectives.

Outcome

What began as a short concept for GEO monitoring became a much broader operating system for AI visibility and readiness.

The problem

The context and technical tension behind the work

Context

The project started with a direction, not a specification

The initial brief described a client portal for GEO monitoring: scan a website using AI, produce a basic score and report, then expand into recommendations, rescans and paid plans. There was no finished product model, detailed technical specification or predetermined architecture.

Challenge

Build more than another AI score

The core challenge was turning an open-ended monitoring idea into a product capable of answering a much wider set of operational questions. A useful system needed to explain not only whether a brand was visible, but where it appeared across relevant AI-oriented queries, which competitors were taking its place, which pages represented realistic opportunities and whether the site itself was technically and semantically prepared for machine understanding.

The approach

Technical decisions that kept the work coherent

Decision 01

AI Presence focuses on how a brand appears across AI-oriented queries, pages and competitive scenarios.

It builds site context, plans queries, evaluates results and turns them into a visibility landscape containing competitor pressure, gaps, displacement opportunities and prioritized findings.

Decision 02

AI Readiness approaches the problem from the opposite direction: whether the website itself is structured clearly enough for machine understanding.

The analysis considers structured data, crawl and discoverability signals, content structure, entity clarity and emerging AI-oriented signals.

Decision 03

Keeping those concerns separate made it possible to distinguish external visibility from the underlying state of the site while still connecting both into the same workflow.

The solution

Implementation evidence and technical capability

Solution

A multi-system SaaS built around continuous analysis

The resulting platform combines a Next.js application, Laravel backend and asynchronous processing layer. The architecture separates interactive product behavior, backend domain logic and long-running analysis so that complex scans can progress independently without turning the user experience into a fragile synchronous workflow.

  • Manual and discovered URL sets
  • AI Presence analysis
  • AI Readiness analysis
  • Query, page and competitor-level visibility analysis
  • Competitive pressure, overlap, gaps and displacement modeling

Outcome

A technical system with a clearer path forward

From monitoring concept to a closed improvement loop

What began as a short concept for GEO monitoring became a much broader operating system for AI visibility and readiness. The platform can now move from understanding how a site appears, to identifying where competitors are winning, to determining which technical or content changes deserve attention.

Built to fit into agency delivery

Your tools
Your process
Your client
Our team

The agency retains control of the client relationship, commercial scope and presentation while technical implementation, testing, documentation and handoff remain behind the scenes unless direct communication is explicitly requested.

Start with a bounded scope

Need senior technical support that fits behind your agency?

The engagement can start with a bounded technical task, a complete implementation or an existing codebase that needs stronger ownership.
