Get cited by AI
when customers search.
When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for a service like yours, does your business come up? Run a free AI search audit to see your true visibility — then get the step-by-step optimization plan to fix it.
Helping Canadian businesses get recommended by AI search
AI is answering your customers' questions. Are you part of the answer?
You search for your service on ChatGPT — and AI recommends your competitor. You don't know why.
You have content, a website, maybe a YouTube channel — but none of it is structured in a way AI systems can actually read.
You've seen 'AI SEO' tools. They show you keywords and backlinks. None of them show you what AI actually says when a buyer asks about your category.
You don't need another report telling you what's wrong. You need an ongoing system that tells you what to fix first — and tracks whether it's working.
These aren't things you're doing wrong. They're blind spots that didn't exist before AI started answering buyer questions. Northcast is the intelligence system that finds them, measures them, and shows you exactly what to do about them — month after month.
How It Works
Add Your Business
Enter your website URL, YouTube channel, and up to three competitor URLs. Takes about two minutes.
We Find the Gaps
Northcast checks why AI isn't recommending you — your website structure, YouTube presence, Google Business Profile, and what competitors are doing differently. Results in under 5 minutes.
Your Intelligence Dashboard
Authority Index score across 8 health dimensions, AI citation proof showing what AI actually says about you, competitive positioning, a 30-day action plan, and ready-to-record video scripts.
Three intelligence streams. One audit.
Every scan produces citation intelligence, authority monitoring, and a production-ready content system — all built from your actual business data, not templates.
When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity about your service, what happens? AI Citation Proof shows you the real answer — the exact words AI uses to describe your business, your competitors, and what's missing. Not a proxy metric. The actual AI response.
One score. Eight dimensions. Tracked over time.
Explore Technical Details→Your Authority Index measures how AI systems, search engines, and buyers perceive your expertise across 8 structural health dimensions. Re-scan monthly to track your trajectory — see which actions moved the needle and where new gaps have emerged.
