For technical founders without a marketing team

A buyer just asked ChatGPT for a tool like yours. Did it name you?

What that looks like for a real customer

EasyDeploy AI makes no-code prediction tools for things like churn and lead scoring. This is one of the 15 buyer questions we track for them.

The question

"Can I use my HubSpot or Salesforce data to score leads automatically?"

What the assistants said

As of October 19, 2026, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all answered it. None of them named EasyDeploy. None named any of the five competitors EasyDeploy tracks either. That's an opening.

The fix, from EasyDeploy's action plan

Build a lead-scoring example page, modeled on the churn example already on the site. Run a public sales dataset through EasyDeploy and publish the real results. Add three to five FAQs with FAQ schema. Then link the page from the homepage and add it to the sitemap.

Done when: /examples/lead-scoring is live, linked from the homepage, listed in sitemap.xml, and its FAQ schema passes Google's Rich Results Test.

Impact: Medium · Timeline: Next two weeks.

Fixes come with steps and a done-when check, so your team or your coding assistant can pick them up without a meeting.

ChatGPT has 900M+ weekly users (Source: OpenAI, February 2026). Some of them are asking questions like this one.

Why this isn't a one-time fix

Most founders we talk to ask this.

  • Buyers' questions change. So do the searches the assistants run to answer them. Last month's action plan goes stale.
  • The answers change too. Models get updated, and the same question can get a different answer next week. Competitors keep publishing.
  • Changes take weeks to land. The assistants have to find your new pages first. You need to know what shipped and whether it's showing up.

Who it's for

You built the product. Somewhere along the way you also became the marketing team.

Sound familiar?

  • You asked ChatGPT for marketing advice and got a generic checklist. Some of it was wrong.
  • Paid ads brought signups who never used the product.
  • An agency wants a retainer you can't justify, for work you can't judge.
  • You ship a change and can't tell if it did anything.

With Halogen Presence™

  • Fixes ranked by what the assistants actually say about you.
  • Each fix written up like a ticket for your team or your coding assistant.
  • Site fixes checked against your live site, so done means done.
  • Plenty of the same fixes help your Google SEO too.

Best fit: a technical founder or small team with a live product, paying customers and nobody doing marketing full time. Also a good fit: the engineer who runs the website for a family business. Probably not for you if you're pre-launch, or if you want an agency to do the work.

Then scale up as you cover more ground

Growth and Scale include everything in Starter, plus more buyer questions and competitors.

Growth covers 150 buyer questions and 5 competitors, and includes a strategy session when you bill annually. Scale covers 350 buyer questions, 10 competitors and 2 brands, with a strategy session every quarter.

What we've seen so far

EasyDeploy AI, solo-founder B2B SaaS

0% to 20% in six weeks

Visibility across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini on 15 tracked buyer questions, as of October 19, 2026.

EasyDeploy now comes up for questions that never mention it by name.

It moves around. One week it read 7%, then 6%, then 9%, and changes take weeks to show up. That's why we plot the trend instead of reacting to one reading.

Result from a pilot with Halogen.

We use it on ourselves

18.3% to 27.0% in four weeks

Halogen doesn't have a marketing team either. We're two engineers who spent 28+ years at Amazon between us, so we run Halogen Presence™ on our own site. That's our visibility across 100 buyer questions and 3 assistants, a 48% relative increase.

How we did it

"...unmatched to any tools we've seen in the market."

Emanuel C., Founder and CEO, EasyDeploy AI (G2, validated reviewer). Read on G2

"Halogen creates a clear benchmark at the outset, informed by real AI intelligence, which makes it easy to understand where the website's performance is lacking and can be improved."

Crystal C., Chief Operating Officer, Small Business (G2). Read on G2

"The setup was a breeze, taking less than 5 minutes, and immediately provided us with actionable metrics and advice based on our current AEO performance."

What do I get for $99/month, and when?

Starter tracks 50 buyer questions in your category across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, a comparison with up to 3 competitors, a site scan and a prioritized action plan you can export. Your first results are ready within one business day.

What if the action plan isn't useful?

Cancel within 30 days of your first payment and we'll refund it in full. Email billing@halo-gen.ai. You don't need to give a reason.

Which AI assistants do you cover?

ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini on every plan, including Starter. We don't cover Perplexity or Microsoft Copilot today.

How do you calculate the score?

For each question and assistant, we use the latest answer. A mention counts 100, a partial mention 50, and no mention 0. Failed or unfinished checks are left out instead of counted as zero, and each assistant counts equally. The site scan scores 8 categories against a written rubric, using fixed weights so the total can't drift with model output.

More detail: How to read your AI visibility score

Why does my score move when I haven't changed anything?

AI answers vary from run to run, and the models get updated. That's normal. We recheck on a schedule and show the trend over 7 days, 30 days and six months, so one bad reading doesn't throw you.

Is this just SEO with a new name?

Partly. People call it AI SEO, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). SEO is about where you rank on a results page. This is about whether assistants mention you, cite you and describe you correctly. A lot of the fixes are SEO basics anyway: structured data, sitemaps, canonical tags, meta descriptions, image alt text and clear authorship.

What access do you need?

Your domain and a few setup details about your business. We don't need your analytics, CMS or customer data.

Do you guarantee results?

No. The assistants decide what they say, and we don't project gains or claim revenue attribution. We show you what we measured, rank the fixes and check that they shipped. The refund above is the guarantee we can stand behind.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Plans are month to month, and you can cancel anytime. Every new subscription comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee on the first payment. Full terms are in our Refund Policy.
