In 2023, buyer search behavior started shifting from Google to ChatGPT. By 2025, brands that had ranked on page one for a decade were invisible to AI. TopSlot is my answer to what happens when AI, not Google, is the top of the funnel.
15+ years in digital marketing and SEO. Watched Google's algorithm shift through Penguin, Hummingbird, BERT, MUM, and the SGE rollout. Started building TopSlot in early 2025 when it became obvious that AI search was the next rule change and the tools weren't ready for it.
TopSlot is built solo using AI coding tools — no engineering team, no agency behind it, no investors in the cap table. Every feature ships because I personally needed it to solve a problem.
First agency job. Google was the entire search market. On-page optimization, link building, content strategy. The rules felt permanent.
Penguin, Panda, BERT, MUM, Core updates. Every time Google changed the rules, clients lost traffic. Every time, the tools adapted after the pain had already been felt.
“What’s the best CRM for small teams?” — people stopped clicking Google result #1. They asked ChatGPT and took the answer. Buyer discovery was moving to AI.
All of them asked ChatGPT about my brand by name. That’s not visibility, that’s performance. None of them measured whether AI recommended me organically to buyers who don’t know me yet.
Built solo. Used Claude Code as the engineering team. Shipped the zero-brand-name methodology as the foundation. First working version was tracking 4 AI models by the end of the month.
TopSlot goes live to the Mavens CMO community first, then broader. Founding Member offer opens — Agency plan at $499 for 3 months (normally $747), first 20 spots, closes May 1, 2026. Locked renewal rate after the 3 months. Includes 5 brands, all 4 AI models, Growth Manager, AI Advisor unlimited, and PDF reports.
If a test includes your brand name in the query, you’re not measuring AI visibility — you’re performing it. Zero-brand-name methodology, every time. No shortcuts to make the numbers look better.
A visibility report that doesn’t change anything is a waste of your time. Every feature in TopSlot either measures something, fixes something, or coordinates between the two. No vanity metrics.
Enterprise AI visibility platforms start at $40K annually. TopSlot starts at $49/month because real marketers need to use this, not just buy it for someone else. Free scorecard always free.
No sales team. No gatekeepers. If you have a question about TopSlot, the methodology, or whether it's right for your brand, book 15 minutes directly.
