We built the tool we needed for our own clients.

Sun Coast Digital Media is an AI-native digital marketing agency in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida, serving small and mid-sized businesses across South Florida. It is a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program.

"AI-native" is a phrase most agencies now claim, so here is the version that can be checked. Every service we sell runs inside our own business before a client is invoiced for it. The AI Visibility Scanner exists because we needed the measurement ourselves and could not buy it. When something does not survive that internal run, it does not reach a proposal, which is the only version of "we use AI" that means anything to a business owner paying for it.

The agency is owner-operated and small on purpose. You talk to the person doing the work, not an account manager relaying it. For a business spending four figures a month rather than six, that is usually the difference between a plan that gets executed and a plan that gets reported on.

Sun Coast Digital Media is a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program, NVIDIA's program for startups building on accelerated computing and AI. Two things that affiliation is not: it is not a paid placement, and it is not an NVIDIA endorsement of our services. It is stated here once, plainly, because it is a third-party affiliation that can be checked, which is more than most agency credentials survive.

We build and run the marketing infrastructure a local business needs to get found and get recommended: websites, social media, property walkthrough video, managed paid ads, and AI search visibility.

Concretely, that is five lines of work:

Websites

Fast, structured, schema-marked sites built so both search crawlers and AI assistants can parse what the business is, where it operates and what it sells.

Social media

Managed posting and content for the platforms a local audience actually uses, treated as a discovery and proof surface rather than a vanity feed.

Property video

A room-by-room walkthrough video for an Airbnb or rental listing, every room covered, delivered silent so the owner can add music or a voiceover. $500 per video, no subscription.

Managed paid ads

Meta, TikTok and Google advertising run inside a Growth plan, with a managed ad budget included. The strategy and spending limits are ours; the platforms control delivery and cost.

AI search visibility

Measuring how often a business is named and cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude and Gemini, then closing the gaps that keep it out of those answers. That is what the AI Visibility Scanner was built for.

Most clients do not buy all five. The usual entry point is the free scan, because it produces a number that tells both of us which of the five is actually costing them money.

Sun Coast Digital Media is based in Fort Lauderdale and serves Parkland, Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Coconut Creek, Pompano Beach, Plantation, Weston and Miami, with remote clients anywhere.

Being local to Broward matters more for AI search than it did for classic SEO. Assistants answering "best med spa near Coral Springs" lean heavily on local citations, review platforms and directory consistency, signals that are regional, not national. Knowing which South Florida sources the engines actually pull from is a large part of the work, and it is not knowledge that transfers cleanly from another market.

The scan itself is market-agnostic. If you operate in Tampa, Atlanta or Denver, the same twenty buyer-intent prompts run against your category and city and produce the same report. We just will not pretend to know your local citation landscape the way we know this one.

Local businesses that depend on being recommended, in-house marketing leads who need a defensible number, and agencies that would rather license a scanner than build one.

The first group is the core: med spas, law firms, contractors, clinics and home services. What they have in common is that their buyers ask for a recommendation rather than browsing a list, which is exactly the query shape assistants have taken over.

The second group is a marketing director or owner who already suspects the problem and needs it in a form that survives a meeting. A visibility percentage, a share-of-voice figure and the named competitor absorbing the demand does that; "we should do more AI stuff" does not.

The third group is other agencies. If you serve clients who are asking about AI search and you do not want to build measurement infrastructure to answer them, the scanner can run under your engagement.

Measurement before proposal. We show the honest number first, and scope work against the gaps it exposes, not against a package chosen in advance.

Three rules hold across every engagement, and they are the ones worth knowing before you book anything:

We run it internally before we sell it. No service is offered to a client until it has done real work inside Sun Coast Digital Media. It costs us launch speed and saves clients from being the test case.

We do not manufacture proof. Every number we put in front of you is either from your own live scan or clearly labeled as sample data. The sample report on this site is fictional and says so on every screen, because a fabricated case study is a lie with a design budget.

You keep the measurement either way. The report from the first scan is yours whether you hire us, hire someone else, or hand it to your own team. The methodology is published in full so it can be replicated without us.

The first scan and the 20-minute walkthrough are free. Work after that is scoped on the call in plain numbers, with no contract or retainer required.

There is no trial that converts to a subscription, no card taken up front, and no requirement to sign anything to keep the report. If the scan shows your visibility is already healthy, we will tell you that and you have spent twenty minutes finding out, which is a better outcome than paying to discover it slowly.

The fastest path is the scan request form, tell us your category, your city and the competitors that bother you most, and we reply with a time within one business day. Calls run about twenty minutes and the scan is executed live while you watch, so nothing is prepared in advance.
