What the scan is, and what it is not.

Effective 10 August 2026

These are the terms for the scan, not for Sun Coast Digital Media as a company. They cover how the AI Visibility Scanner works, what its numbers do and do not prove, and what requesting a scan does and does not commit either of us to. Our company-wide terms of service, which govern any project we go on to do for you, live on the main site at suncoastdigitalmedia.com/terms. Where the two ever disagree, the signed agreement for your project wins.

How the scan is actually run

This site does not run a scan in your browser. The form on the home page collects what we need and opens the booking page. A person at Sun Coast Digital Media then builds the prompt set, runs the searches, reads the answers back and writes the report. Anywhere this site says “we run them for real”, that is literal: a human runs them.

The first scan is free. Requesting one creates no contract, reserves nothing and obliges neither of us to anything. We may decline a request.

What the numbers can and cannot prove

A scan reports how often a business was named across a defined set of prompts, on the day the scan ran. It is a measurement of that sample, not of the whole internet.

• AI assistants are not deterministic. The same prompt can return different answers minutes apart, and the engines change without notice. Two scans of the same business will not match exactly, and that is a property of the engines rather than an error in the method.
• The prompt set is a judgement. Twenty questions per engine is a sample chosen to reflect how buyers ask, not an exhaustive census.
• A request that fails is excluded from the denominator, because a timeout is not evidence of invisibility.
• We do not guarantee results, rankings, visibility, traffic, leads or revenue. Those are set by platforms we do not control. Anyone who guarantees them is not being straight with you.

If the method changes, the description on how it works changes with it.

Other companies’ names

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google and every other product named on this site belong to their owners. We measure what those systems say. Naming them describes what we measure, it does not imply affiliation, partnership, endorsement or any access beyond what any member of the public has.

Where a scan names a competitor, that is a record of what an engine said on a given day. It is not our assessment of that business.
