AI search engines are becoming the primary way consumers find businesses. Most SEO tools weren't built for this reality. So we built one from scratch.
We didn't pivot to AI because it was trendy. We pivoted because we saw the biggest shift in search since Google itself.
Doug Brown has been in the search marketing trenches since before Google AdWords existed. Pay-per-click, organic SEO, local search, Maps optimization — the full stack.
When ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity started answering "Who's the best plumber near me?" — we realized traditional SEO tools had no answer. The old playbook was dead.
Patent status is governed separately from product capability claims. Public materials do not state a claim count or legal scope.
ClickRadius records a monthly citation sample across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Grok. That AI Presence evidence is reported separately from the five-family AI Readiness estimate and SEO Health. Content and entity work can address observed gaps, but external engines independently control retrieval, recommendation, and citation.
A focused team building at the intersection of search technology and machine learning.
25+ years in search marketing and technology, based in Scottsdale, AZ. Doug saw the shift to AI-powered search early and built ClickRadius to give every business the tools to be visible in this new landscape — not just the ones with enterprise budgets.
We didn't bolt AI features onto an old SEO tool. We built a new platform from scratch for the AI search era.
Most platforms give you a list of problems. We generate governed fixes, deploy approved revisions through configured connectors, and verify what the public destination actually serves.
We record monthly answer and citation observations from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Grok. Microsoft Copilot is not currently supported, and this five-engine set is not every platform a customer may use.
The current strategy engine samples configured Beta-Binomial arm state to select eligible auto-fix strategies and records each decision for evidence review. Customer-outcome training is not currently active.
We record and compare supported identity and listing evidence across Wikidata, Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, Data Axle and Yelp. External records, provider acceptance and any AI-engine use remain separate facts.
Prepare source-backed drafts whose visible factual units must clear the applicable source, authority and admission controls. Where you have authorized automatic publishing over a capable WordPress connection, an admitted exact revision can publish on its purchased schedule; otherwise it waits in your review queue. External engines decide whether to cite it.
Approved client-facing portal, report, notice, and work-review surfaces use an agency's approved identity and support context. Branding is surface-specific; required provider, legal, security, operational, agreement, and external disclosures remain separate.
ClickRadius identifies its technology as Patent Pending. Product behavior is documented from implemented and verified capabilities, not inferred from a filing.
The shift from traditional search to AI-powered answers is the biggest change in how consumers find businesses since the internet itself. We believe every business deserves the tools to be visible in this new landscape — not just the ones with enterprise budgets and dedicated SEO teams. When a potential customer asks ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity for a recommendation in your industry and your market — your business should be in that answer. That's what we're building toward, every single day.
