Carter Studio · Client Zero

We sell "get picked by AI." So we ran it on ourselves first — in public.

Baseline captured 2026-07-02 · St. Charles, MO

No testimonials yet, and we won't invent any. Instead, here's the most honest proof we can give: our own before-shot, the fixes we make, and a monthly re-test — good or bad, dated, in the open.

The before — 2026-07-02

The company that sells AI-visibility was invisible to AI.

We searched the way a customer would — "AI visibility for a St. Louis / St. Charles business," "who gets you picked by AI near me." Carter Studio did not appear. Other firms did. That's the honest starting line, on the record. You can't fake a climb from zero — so we're starting the clock here.

What we're doing to ourselves (the same thing we'd do for you)

  1. Capture the dated "before." Screenshot what ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI say to the buyer queries — timestamped, saved.
  2. Fix what makes a business hard for AI to find and trust. LocalBusiness + FAQPage structured data, answer-formatted pages, consistent details everywhere, real reviews, and a citable public record (our World-State Index).
  3. Publish the climb. This page — updated as we go. Every change dated.
  4. Re-test monthly. Same queries, logged below. If nothing moves, we say so.

Next re-test: ~2026-08. This log fills in over time — the whole point is that it's real.

We measure visibility. We don't promise rankings, bookings, or revenue — and we'll never publish a before/after we didn't actually run. Co-occurrence is not causation.
