I built Merit Score because I watched good brands become invisible to AI systems while their competitors got recommended instead. The assessment takes 4 minutes. The findings will stay with you.

No agency. No team. Direct access to the person who built this.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as an SEO audit?

No. SEO measures what Google's algorithm ranks. The APS measures what AI systems recommend when someone asks them a commercial question. The systems are different, the mechanism is different, and the implications are different.

How long does the free assessment take?

Four minutes. Twenty questions across four dimensions. Your score is calculated immediately.

What is included in the £2,500 audit?

40 live AI queries run across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Bing Copilot, and Google AI Mode. Full report with verbatim AI outputs, competitive benchmarking against three named competitors, 10 prioritised recommendations, and a 90-minute readout session. Delivered within five working days.

Do I need technical knowledge to complete the assessment?

No. Most questions are designed for founders, CMOs, and marketing leaders. Where technical questions appear, we auto-detect the answer from your website, or offer an I don't know option that scores conservatively.

What happens after the audit?

You receive a board-ready report and a 90-minute readout session. For clients who want to act on the findings, we offer a 90-day transformation programme starting from £15,000.

The AI era is not coming. It is here.

Most organisations do not know how AI systems see their brand. The free assessment takes four minutes and tells you exactly where you stand.
