Frequently asked questions

Short answers about the audit, the Report Cards, pricing and what AI Sharc does and doesn't do.

What is AI Sharc?
AI Sharc issues the AI Shopping Health Audit Report Card: a graded A–F audit of how easily AI shopping agents — ChatGPT, Gemini, voice assistants — can find, read and trust your business website. You get the grade and a plain-English fix list. We audit; we don't touch your site.
Who is it for?
Home-services firms, starting with licensed home trades in Texas: HVAC contractors, plumbers, electricians and roofing contractors. If homeowners hire you after finding you online, this is for you.
What do AI shopping agents have to do with my business?
More customers ask AI assistants for recommendations instead of searching. The assistant can only recommend businesses whose websites it can find, read and trust. If yours hides that information, the machines recommend someone else — and the homeowner never hears about you.
What's the difference between the Preliminary and Final Report Card?
The Preliminary is free, always: your overall grade and summary-level findings. The Final is the deep audit — the complete card, every finding with its cited source, and your full fix list — plus monitoring for your first few months.
Why is every finding sourced?
So you can check our work. Each finding cites the page we looked at, the exact wording, and the date we checked. Nothing on your card is a guess or an opinion about your industry.
What does 'no partial credit' mean?
Your grade reflects what's actually true on your site. A half-done fix doesn't earn half the points: if something fails, it fails, and your card says exactly what to finish.
Do I need a new website?
Almost never. Most grades move with small, specific changes to the site you already have. That's the point of bite-sized fixes: each one is small enough to actually get done.
Does AI Sharc fix my site for me?
No. AI Sharc is audit-only: we grade and we show you the fixes. Your card is written so you or your web person can act on it directly.
How do I get started?
Submit your website address and business email on the Get Audited page. We email you a one-click verification link; click it and your free Preliminary Report Card is ready to view.
How does billing work?
The Preliminary Report Card is free. The Final Report Card is a one-time payment ($99 introductory, regular $149). Monitoring is included for your first few months, then it's $25/month introductory (regular $30/month), month-to-month, cancelled any time by you in your dashboard.
Can I cancel monitoring?
Yes, any time, yourself, from your dashboard. No contract, no phone call, no email chain.
What about my privacy?
We ask for your website address and business email, and use them to deliver and verify your Report Card. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
