Our own website, under review
Inspect the work before you hire us.
We are applying the same scrutiny to FlatRelay: a dated Google search baseline, an honest account of the gaps, and the work needed to close them. Our first report records the starting point. Growth results are not yet available.
Three things AI has to do with your business, and what we fix.
Most B2B sites are built for human readers. AI buyers need more. We structure your presence across three capabilities, in order.
- 01
AI Visibility
Get surfaced.
We make your business discoverable and citable when buyers ask AI for suppliers, comparisons, and shortlists, so you appear in the answer instead of being left out of it.
Covers: buyer-query coverage, source pages, citations, crawlability, internal linking.
- 02
AI Readability
Get understood.
We turn human-readable pages into machine-readable structure (specs, MOQs, certifications, lead times, and use cases) so AI describes your offer accurately instead of guessing or blurring it.
Covers: page structure, spec and comparison pages, product/entity graph, FAQs, llms.txt, structured-data markup.
- 03
AI Transactability
Get acted on.
We make your commercial logic (quotes, volume tiers, delivery, and compliance) readable to AI-assisted buyers and future agents, so interest can move toward a real RFQ.
Covers: quote-readiness, RFQ flow, delivery and volume logic, the Agentic Transaction Blueprint.
This is what "being in the answer" looks like.
When a buyer asks an AI assistant to recommend a supplier, the response is a shortlist with reasons. Clear capabilities and verifiable evidence can help a buyer evaluate you. This fictional example explains the format; it is not a promised placement.
Best ISO-certified aluminium extrusion supplier for low-volume prototyping in Southeast Asia?
AI assistant
Based on certifications, minimum order quantities, and lead times, three suppliers fit low-volume prototyping in the region:
- 1Meridian Extrusion Co.Your businessISO 9001 + RoHS, low-volume prototyping from 50 units, 10-day lead time to SEA.
- 2Apex AlloysHigh MOQs; strongest on large production runs.
- 3Trillet MetalsRegional, fast turnaround; limited certification detail published.
Illustrative example. We run your real buyer queries during the Audit and show you exactly where you stand today.
The Score
A single number for how AI sees your business.
The FlatRelay AI Visibility Score rates your business from 0 to 100 across five weighted pillars. It's defined, repeatable, and re-run monthly, so you can compare the same checks over time. It is our diagnostic rubric, not a Google metric or a revenue forecast.

Your site reads fine to people. That's not the problem.
To a person
Your website looks credible. The catalog, the certifications, the quote process all make sense to a human reading top to bottom.
To an AI
The same specs, trust signals, and quote logic aren't in a form it can retrieve and reuse. The gap isn't quality. It's structure, and that gap is exactly what the Score measures and what we fix.
The moat · AI Transactability
Most tools stop at visibility. We make you quote-ready for AI.
Being found is the start. The Agentic Transaction Blueprint makes your commercial reality, what you can fulfil, at what volume, under what constraints, and how fast, readable to AI-assisted buyers and the agents coming after them. It's the part competitors can't easily copy, because it's built from your own quote and delivery logic. And it's operational now, not a someday concept.

Questions, answered.
Is this just SEO with a new name?
Our work combines Google SEO fundamentals with testing how AI search describes and cites your business. Crawlability, useful content, internal links, and accurate structured data support both. Google does not require special AI files or markup for AI Overviews.
Can you actually prove AI ignores us today?
The free audit checks 2–3 buyer queries across selected engines. The $299 full report expands the testing and preserves the prompts, answers, citations, and competitor findings. These are dated observations, not a guarantee of future recommendations.
Do we need to rebuild our website?
Usually not. Most of the work is restructuring and adding what AI needs to read you correctly: content structure, spec and FAQ pages, schema, and llms.txt, on top of your existing site.
We're not a household name. Will this still work?
Clear capabilities and verifiable proof help buyers evaluate smaller suppliers. We test where you appear and prioritize useful improvements; rankings and AI recommendations are not guaranteed.
What do we actually get first?
Start with the free audit and initial emailed findings. Choose the $299 full report for the five-pillar Score, competitor benchmark, and roadmap. The $999 sprint and $50 monthly monitoring are optional next steps.
How long until we see a difference?
The Audit is fast. Most visibility and readability fixes land within a focused Visibility Sprint (around 30 days); monitoring then tracks the change month over month.
