Valor AEO · a Valor Digital unit
We work to get AI to recommend your business, and we prove it with a record of every answer.
Ask an AI assistant for the best dentist in town and it answers with names. We ask the questions your customers ask, save every full answer with the date and time, and show whether your business shows up, who shows up instead and which sites the AI read.
We are a software company in Itapema, Brazil. The test runs in English for US cities. Today it asks Claude, with web search; ChatGPT and Gemini come in once we connect their official APIs. US prices are not set yet.
How it works
From test to retest, with the same questions
What counts as a result is agreed before we start. At the end, you compare two snapshots taken the same way.
-
Test: your customers' questions
We ask the AI, for example, "What is the best accountant in Denver?" and save the full answer, the searches it ran and the pages it read. You see whether your business shows up and who shows up instead.
-
30 days: we fix what the AI reads
We correct your business details on your site and on the directories that showed up in the test, and add pages that answer the questions where you do not show up.
-
Day 30: the same test again
With the questions and the counting rule agreed in writing at the start, we run the test again and hand over the before and after, with the record of every answer.
What the AI reads
In the answers, Yelp and list sites outweighed business websites
On October 27, 2026, we asked Claude, with web search on, for the best dentist, accountant, lawyer, med spa, gym, real estate agency, pet store and restaurant in 10 US cities. That was 80 questions, one answer each.
-
74 of 80Yelp
answers read Yelp, and 40 cited it as a source.
-
23 of 80Business websites
answers read any business's own website: 37 of the 825 pages read.
-
72.5%Directories and lists
of the pages read were directories, lists or review sites.
-
0 of 10Restaurants
restaurant answers read a restaurant's website. In Brazil, also 0 of 10.
Source: Valor Digital, 80 questions to Claude Haiku 5.5 with web search on October 27, 2026. Only Claude was asked, once per question. Full numbers, method, limits and open data
That is why the work starts with what the AI reads: the directories and review sites for your type of business and city, your business details on each of them, and the pages on your site that answer customer questions.
What we do
The test first. Then the work, with proof at the end.
Each step shows what you get before the price. We have not set US prices yet; write to us and we will tell you when we do.

After that
Monthly monitoring
The same questions every week, the competitors that show up in the answers and a report of what changed.

Do you guarantee that AI will recommend my business?
No. Nobody controls what an AI answers. We guarantee the record: every question and every full answer, with the date and time, counted by the rule we agree on with you before we start.
What about more customers, or the top spot?
No again. Showing up in an answer does not guarantee a visit or a sale, and AI answers have no fixed ranking. We count appearances for the agreed questions, not customers.
Why does the answer change from one time to the next?
Answers vary by person, by place and by day. The same question asked again can bring other names. That is why each record keeps the assistant, the date, the time and the approximate location of the question: a test is a snapshot of one moment.
Which AI assistants do you ask?
Today, Claude, through Anthropic's official API with web search. ChatGPT and Gemini come in through their official APIs once we connect them. Google's AI answers in search have no API, and we are still testing that path.
What do you keep as proof?
The exact question, the full answer as the API returned it, the date and time, the searches the AI ran, the pages it read and the sources it cited. The report lists the sha256 of each record, so anyone with the file can check that it is the same one.
Do you publish the names of businesses that show up in answers?
No. In the study and on public pages, only directories and platforms are named, such as Yelp, Tripadvisor and Clutch. In your test, you see the names the AI gave for your questions.
Do you work with US businesses?
We can run the test in English for US cities now. US prices and billing are not set yet; write to us and we will tell you when they are.
