Today we’re excited to announce our acquisition of Jarts.io, a platform that analyzes how AI sees and describes a brand, and the launch of AI Trust Signals 2.0. Jarts.io technology now powers three core platform capabilities: the Virtual Buyer, the Workbench, and the Reputation Readout.
When a buyer asks AI about a business like yours, it names one and skips the rest. AI Trust Signals 2.0 shows you, in plain words, why AI recommends some businesses and passes over others. Then it hands you the fix. You can start with a free check, and you do not even sign up.
Key Takeaways
- When a buyer asks AI for a recommendation, they get one answer, not ten links. You are the answer, or you are not.
- The reason AI picks one business over another is trust, and trust is a short list you can actually work on.
- The average AI Trust Signals Score across 6,000+ business reports is 61 out of 100. Most owners are below the bar and have no idea.
- The free check at recommends.aitrustsignals.com shows what AI says about your business in minutes, with no signup.
- For $25 a month, you get your score, the reasons behind it, and the exact fixes to raise it.
The gatekeeper changed. Your buyer did not.
For twenty years, buyers found you through Google. They typed a question, got ten blue links, and picked from the list. You had room to show up on that page and make your case.
That page is going away. Now a buyer asks AI, and AI gives them one answer. Sometimes two. It does not hand back a list of ten and let the buyer sort it out. It decides, and it says a name out loud.
So the question that matters for your business has changed. It used to be “where do I rank?” Now it is simpler and a lot more brutal: when someone asks AI about a business like mine, does it recommend me, or does it recommend the company down the road?
You are either the answer, or you are not. There is no page two anymore.
Why AI picks one business and skips another
Here is the part most owners miss. AI is not picking based on who has the biggest ad budget or the slickest website. It is picking based on trust.
AI wants to give its user a safe answer. So before it recommends you, it checks whether it can trust you. It looks at your reviews, your team page, your pricing, your policies, and a handful of other things it can verify across the web. If those things add up, AI recommends you with confidence. If they do not, it plays it safe and names someone else.
That is good news, and here is why. Trust is not a mystery. It is a short list of things AI checks, and you can work on that list one item at a time. The businesses getting recommended are not lucky. They just look trustworthy to the machine that is now doing the recommending.
Most businesses are below the bar and do not know it
We built AI Trust Signals to measure that list. It gives you one number, the AI Trust Signals Score, built from the 19 things AI checks when it decides whether to trust your business.
We have now run that score against more than 6,000 business reports. The average came back at 61 out of 100.
The average AI Trust Signals Score across 6,000+ business reports is 61 out of 100.
Sit with that for a second. Average is below average here. A 61 is not “pretty good.” It is the middle of a pack that is mostly getting skipped, because when AI has to choose one business to name, the middle of the pack does not win. The businesses winning recommendations are the ones scoring well above that line, and most of them got there on purpose.
The problem is that almost no owner knows their number. You cannot fix what you cannot see, and until now there was no way to see what AI actually thinks of your business.
The three questions, and where 2.0 meets each one
AI Trust Signals 2.0 answers the three questions every owner ends up asking, in order.
- “What does AI say about me?” — The free check at recommends.aitrustsignals.com. Your answer in minutes, no signup.
- “Why me and not them? And how do I fix it?” — Your score, the reasons behind it, and your fix list. $25 a month, with 10 days free first.
- “Can you just do it for me?” — Done For You. Our people handle the work. Starts at $5,000, when you want it handled.
Start at the top. The free check is the front door, and it costs you nothing. You type in your business, and you see what AI says about you, the same way a buyer would. No sales call, no credit card, no homework.
If you want to know why, and you want the fixes, that is the $25 plan. You get your score, the reasons behind every part of it, and a plain fix list that tells you what to do next. There is a virtual buyer that shows you how a customer’s AI sees you before they ever call. And you get 10 days to try it free.
If you would rather hand the whole thing off, that is Done For You. We do the work, you get your time back.
Proof that the list moves
This is not theory. When you work the list, the number moves, and it moves fast.
A used boat dealer in South Florida ran their free check, saw where they stood, and got to work. In 30 days their AI Trust Signals Score went from 54 to 63. They added a privacy policy and terms of service, put real questions and answers on four key pages, fixed their business name and address across listings, and cleaned up the code AI reads. None of it was fancy. All of it was on the list.
That is the whole idea. You see the number, you see the reasons, and you work a short list until AI starts recommending you instead of the business down the road.
Start with the free check
You do not have to guess what AI thinks of your business. You can see it right now.
Run your free check at recommends.aitrustsignals.com. It takes a few minutes, you do not sign up, and you walk away knowing exactly where you stand and what to do about it.
