These are real results from Lefty Media Co clients. Every number here came from asking ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity the same questions a customer would ask, and counting how often the client got named. We show the misses too.
Anybody can promise AI will start picking you. We built the machinery to prove it does. Real businesses, real receipts, and the research to back it up.
The AI crawlers reading the sites we measure, counted live from the server logs. Nobody at Lefty types these in.
The paper measured this pair over 165 site-days: 1,549 announced, 2 root. This is the same count, still running.
Pages = content pages. AI files = the files we deploy for engines (/ai/*, llms.txt). Plumbing = robots.txt, sitemaps, feeds, what every crawler reads first. Refused = came, and the server answered 429.
/ai/llms.txt/llms.txt/ai/ai-schema.jsonLog scale, so small crawlers stay visible beside large ones. Totals are the last 30 days.
Verified crawlers read at least one content page on 30 of the last 30 days. Hover the chart for the pages read on any day.
These arrived and named themselves. Their operators publish no address list, so there is nothing to check the claim against. Not counted above, and not counted is not the same as did not happen.
This page: 0 verified AI crawler reads in the last 30 days.
Verified = the crawler name and the source address both match the operator's published ranges, checked against a list refreshed weekly (ClaudeBot: the network block registered to Anthropic, network-attributed, as the paper marks it). Pages = content pages; AI files = /ai/*, llms.txt, .well-known; plumbing = robots.txt, sitemaps, feeds. Nine sites we run or monitor. Googlebot is a search crawler and is logged on only two of them, so it is left out. No client domain leaves this route. Paper: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22814843. If the count is unavailable, this panel says so. It never shows a number we made up.
GEO readiness. One month.
A Kansas City home builder came to us nearly invisible to AI. Same great business, finally readable by the machines that decide who gets named.
By ChatGPT. And Claude. A thirty-year local courier.
Not on everything, nobody holds a national down across the board. On the specific questions that actually put work in the door.
Boyd Total Delivery Systems is a Kansas City courier. Ask ChatGPT or Claude for an urgent delivery company in Kansas City and the Midwest, and they name Boyd on 93% of asks. FedEx and UPS: 0%. (28 asks, 30 days to Sep 25, 2026.)
Dawg Trax is a mobile dog gym in Kansas City. Over the last three weeks, AI recognized the business by name on 95% of asks and named it on 26% of “who should I hire” questions. We changed how we measure twice this summer, so we don’t claim a before-and-after here, only where it stands now.
Most agencies show you a win and ask you to trust how they got it. We write down what we're going to measure, publish it with a permanent record, then run it. If the result goes against us, it's still on the record. Three so far:
