Questions we'd ask

Ten of the fifty, written for this industry.

Six ask what to use and four ask about you by name. The real 50 are settled with your team on the first 30-minute call.

  2. 02Recommend a parts supplier under $40 a piece.
  3. 03Every supplier we call has a 500 piece minimum and we need 50. What do people do about this?
  4. 04What are some alternatives to Competitor A?
  5. 05Do I really need a parts supplier for a repair shop that needs 50 parts?
  6. 06What should I look for in a parts supplier?
  7. 07What does your company do?
  8. 08How much does your company cost per month?
  9. 09Does your company work for a repair shop that needs 50 parts?
  10. 10How is your company different from Competitor A?

What answers look like

Named, linked, or left out.

  • Five companies, one answer. A buying question usually comes back with a handful of names and nothing else.
  • A link is not a mention. Some answers name a company and stop. Some also link its site. We count those separately.
  • The sixth line is empty. When you are not in the answer, there is nothing to click and nothing to compare.

Pages a Monday brief might name

Usually a page that never states a fact the buyer asked for.

  • The product spec page
  • The ordering page
  • The materials page
  • The lead time page

A missing mention alone is never the reason. We read the live page first.

How a pilot starts

Here's how the first month goes.

  1. Week 1

    Before you pay: agree the 50 questions

    We settle the 50 questions and the five competitors with your team on a 30-minute call, starting from the draft we built from the questions you sent. They go into an order with the date of everything below. Week 1 is not billed.

  2. Week 2

    First 450 answers

    All three services get the questions for the first time. You see where you're named and where you're missing.

  3. Week 3

    First brief, first fix

    One page to fix lands on Monday. Your team reviews it and publishes, and we're on the weekly call if anything gets stuck.

  4. Week 4

    We ask again

    We confirm the page is live and run all 450 again. What moved and what didn’t goes in the report.

Week 1 is not billed. The questions and every date above are settled first, and your first charge lands when collection starts in week 2, so the 14-day refund window opens a week before your first brief rather than closing before it.

$990 a month. Billed monthly, cancel whenever you like. If you cancel within 14 days of the first payment, we refund that payment.

Questions

Asked by teams in this industry.

We have only run a study of our own in HR software. There is no count of this industry yet, and we will not present one as if there were. See what we did count →

How we measure → Glossary →

Our catalogue is huge. Which page gets fixed?

The one the evidence points at. Usually it is the spec or ordering page a buyer would land on.

Buyers here use distributors. Does this still apply?

If a buyer asks an AI who supplies a part, the answer names companies. That is what we count.

Can questions use part numbers?

They can, though questions that sound like a buyer typing in plain words tend to return more useful answers.

Do you contact distributors for us?

No. We do not contact anyone on your behalf.
