Discovery Friction
You have the products, equipment, expertise, and capacity, but Google and AI surface direct competitors before your company.
If a buyer cannot find your capabilities in 3 minutes, your competitor gets the RFQ.
We identify what is blocking your company from being found and validated across Google, AI, and industrial sources — and tell you what to fix first.

We map where your company drops out of the buyer’s evaluation.
Four surfaces, four answers. The questions your commercial information must answer before a buyer reaches out.
01
Does your website make your capabilities obvious?
We evaluate whether someone unfamiliar with your company can quickly identify capabilities, certifications, equipment, infrastructure, locations, and other evidence that matters in supplier evaluation.
02
Do you appear when buyers search for a supplier like you?
We evaluate how your company appears in Google when buyers search for the products, capabilities, or suppliers you actually provide, and what information they find to compare you.
03
What do ChatGPT and Gemini say about your company?
We evaluate how ChatGPT and Gemini identify and represent your company, what they understand about your capabilities, and what important information they omit or interpret differently.
04
Do external sources represent your company accurately?
We compare your website, LinkedIn, and relevant industrial sources to find outdated data, incomplete descriptions, or inconsistencies that can change how a buyer understands your company.
In 2–3 weeks, you’ll know what is limiting your commercial visibility and the action plan to fix it.

Frequently asked questions
1. What is the Commercial Visibility Audit for Industrial SMEs?
It is an executive diagnostic that evaluates how your company appears and is understood when an industrial buyer researches suppliers. We review Website · Google · AI and relevant public sources to identify discovery, validation, and representation gaps before an RFQ or sourcing conversation.
2. Which companies is it designed for?
For small and mid-sized B2B industrial and manufacturing companies across North America that sell high-value products, capabilities, or services and need buyers, Procurement teams, and new search channels to understand and validate the company correctly. If the corporate structure is more complex, we determine the appropriate audit scope.
3. What commercial problem does the audit identify?
It determines whether a buyer can find your company, understand what you do, validate your capabilities, and compare you correctly against other suppliers. We identify information that is missing, outdated, contradictory, or insufficient and may affect that evaluation.
4. What exactly do you review across Website · Google · AI?
We evaluate how your company is represented across Website, Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, corporate LinkedIn, and relevant B2B sources. The objective is to determine whether a buyer can discover the company, understand its capabilities, and validate critical information with enough clarity and consistency.
5. What will leadership know at the end?
Leadership receives a clear view of where commercial exposure exists, what evidence proves it, and what should be addressed first. If you provide your own economic data, we can also size the potential business relevance of those scenarios without inventing losses or ROI.
6. What exactly do I receive? Is this an automated software scan?
No. This is not an automated software scan. You receive an Executive Decision Brief, Executive Audit Report, Selected Evidence, Priority Action Matrix, 30 / 60 / 90-Day Action Plan, and a 45-minute executive review. Tools support the work, but analysis, validation, and prioritization are performed by Platonica Presence.
7. We already have an SEO or marketing agency. Why do we need another audit?
Because these are different disciplines. SEO focuses on traffic and rankings; marketing teams may focus on campaigns, content, or engagement. This audit evaluates whether an industrial buyer can discover your company, understand its capabilities, validate critical information, and consider it correctly as a supplier. We do not audit campaigns, social performance, or follower counts.
8. We sell B2B through relationships, not ecommerce. Why should Google or AI matter?
Because the commercial relationship may begin after silent supplier research. A buyer can search, compare, and validate suppliers before Sales knows the opportunity exists. Google, ChatGPT, and Gemini do not replace the relationship; they are surfaces where the evaluation can begin.
9. Our IT and Operations teams are overloaded. How much time will this require from us?
Very little. The audit is performed primarily using public information and does not require access to your servers, CRM, or internal systems. We request an initial context meeting and, once the audit is complete, a second meeting for the executive review.
10. Our contracts and margins are confidential. Do we have to share financial information?
No. If you want to size the findings economically, you can provide only the information you consider appropriate, such as the approximate value of an RFQ or contract, annual opportunity volume, or historical close rate. If you do not provide it, we present the commercial findings without inventing financial assumptions.
11. If you find problems, are we required to hire Platonica for implementation?
No. The Commercial Visibility Audit is an independent diagnostic. You receive evidence, priorities, and a 30 / 60 / 90-Day Action Plan. You can execute with your internal team, current agency or provider, or evaluate a later engagement with Platonica Presence.
12. What does the audit not include or guarantee?
Implementation is not included. The audit does not include website redesign or development, corrections, campaigns, paid media, social media management, lead generation, internal CRM changes, or a full SEO audit. It also does not guarantee rankings, AI recommendations, RFQs, contracts, or financial outcomes. Its function is to identify, prioritize, and provide an action plan grounded in observable commercial evidence to improve your information infrastructure.
