Search your own name. Count what you own.
The first page of results is a page about you, and most of it was written by somebody else. Here is what counts, and what only looks like it does.
Wrote down what actually happens before anybody types a company name: five searches, in the order a buyer runs them, each one answered on a page the company doesn't own.
Including the one where the answer is an assistant, not a list.
Ask ChatGPT about you by name. Sometimes it answers about your company instead. Sometimes about a stranger who shares your name. Sometimes it says it doesn't have enough information.
None of the three is a blank. Each one is a finding.
Take one claim off your own profile, the one you would defend out loud in a room, and try to find it on a page you don't control.
Somebody recognisable, on the record, who was not asked to be there. That search is the whole dimension.
They don't start with your name.
Five searches run before it ever comes up, and each one has already answered something about your company. Here they are, in the order a buyer actually runs them.
