Data, Not
Opinions.
Read the Work.
We test things and write down what happened. AI perception audits, tool comparisons, local search studies, and guides. All built from real data we collected on the Space Coast. If we didn't run the test ourselves, it's not on this page.
By the Numbers
AI Perception Reports
We ask Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude about local businesses every month and publish exactly what they say. Full methodology included so you can check our work.
ChatGPT Audit: Agency Scorecard
ChatGPT scores L3ad Solutions 72/100 and calls us an 'emerging contender' with above-average positioning but below-leader proof depth.
Claude AI Audit: Full Technical and Competitive Breakdown
Anthropic's Claude AI delivers the most technical audit yet: an A- on site architecture, A on content strategy, but C+ on domain authority.
Gemini Audit: Market Path Analysis
Google's Gemini AI was asked to audit L3ad Solutions and project our 90 and 180-day market trajectory on the Space Coast.

ExploreWhy We Publish Everything
Most agencies keep their research behind sales calls. We publish ours. The Florida Local Search Index, the AI perception audits, the tool comparisons: all of it is free to read. If you learn enough to do it yourself, that's a win. If you decide you want help, you already know how we think.
Every piece of research comes from real data. The Local Search Index benchmarked 97 businesses across 12 industries in Brevard County. The AI audits run the same prompts every month so you can track changes over time. The comparisons use both tools and show screenshots. No affiliate links, no sponsored content.
We started publishing because it's how we learn. Running an audit on our own business taught us more about AI search than any course. Writing up comparisons forced us to actually test both tools instead of guessing. The guides are the playbooks we use with real clients, not theoretical frameworks we read somewhere.
If something in our research is wrong, we want to know. Every report includes methodology notes so you can check our work. That's the point.
Reports FAQ
How often do you publish new reports?
AI perception audits run monthly. The Florida Local Search Index updates quarterly. Comparisons and guides are published as we finish testing. We don't publish on a schedule just to fill a content calendar.
Is the research free to read?
Yes. Every report, comparison, guide, and dataset is free. No gated content, no email required. If you learn enough to do it yourself, that's a win. If you want help, you know how we think.
How do you collect the data?
Each report explains its methodology. The Local Search Index uses automated crawls of Google Business Profiles and websites. AI perception audits use structured prompts submitted to Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. Comparisons come from hands-on testing of both tools.
Can you run an AI perception audit for my business?
Yes. We run the same audits for clients that we publish for ourselves. You get the full breakdown of how AI systems see your business, what they recommend instead, and what to fix. Start with a free audit through our contact page.
