About Vercatus

Visibility work should come with a verdict.

Built in Budapest for AI visibility growth. Vercatus shows why answer engines cite someone else, hands you the exact changes, and keeps a ledger of what each one did, including the ones that did nothing. We hold ourselves to the same standard, in public.

What we ask of you,
we ask of ourselves.

A product that grades evidence has to show its own. Each habit and each rule the product is built on has a page you can check, not a line in a deck.

  • We measure in public

    Our own site is measured first, and what we find is published with its date and its limits. The 64-site access study is published the same way.

    The access study
  • We keep honesty rules

    No invented customers, testimonials or uplift figures. Pictures of the product use a fictional workspace; planned features say Planned; a verdict says what it cannot prove.

    Our methodology
  • Our evidence is graded

    Plays rest on a knowledge base of 187 entries, each with its claim, its sources, a grade from A to D and a date to check it again.

    The knowledge base
  • Our crawler says who it is

    Its page and file requests are signed with a published key (RFC 9421), it names Vercatus in its user agent, honours robots.txt and backs off when asked.

    How to verify our crawler
  • Every engine on its own. Answer Share is read per engine, with named and cited kept apart. How Answer Share works
  • Against topics left alone. A verdict compares the topics a play aimed at with topics no play touched. How verdicts work
  • A floor before a pattern. Intelligence shows nothing until enough sites and verdicts stand behind it. Vercatus Intelligence
  • Shipped means live. A play counts as shipped when a machine check sees the change, not when a ticket closes. How plays work
  • Say what is not built. Every control carries its true status, planned ones included. Security, control by control
Measured in public

Our own site, measured like a customer's.

On 1 October 2026 we asked every engine 7 neutral questions about the tools in our own market. Vercatus was named in 0 of 119 answers.

  • Answer Share 0%, range 0 to 1.6%, against 40% for the leading tool on the same answers.
  • Without search, ChatGPT took us for a pension fintech and Gemini took us for an Amazon PPC agency.
  • 108 plays written for our own site, 0 shipped so far. Their verdicts are read 45 days after each ships, and published here.
How Answer Share is measured
Measured on our own site; figures describe vercatus.com, not a customer outcome.

How we work
with customers.

Self-serve when you want it, a conversation when your review needs one. Either way you see the product on your own site first.

  1. 01

    Start on your own

    Create an account, see what Vercatus already reads on your domain, then choose a plan and cancel any time. No call needed.

  2. 02

    An evaluation with your team

    A walkthrough on your own topics, the security page and the published DPA for your review, answers by email.

  3. 03

    Onboarding on your terms

    You verify the domains, choose the topics and competitors, and connect only what you want: Search Console and Google Analytics, alerts in Slack, Microsoft Teams or email, and from Growth up, hand-offs to Linear, Jira, GitHub, Asana, Claude Code or Codex.

  4. 04

    A loop, in the open

    Answer Share on every poll, new plays as the answers change, and a verdict on every shipped play within 45 days.

What we will not do

  • Analyse a site for anyone who has not verified it
  • Call a play a win when the answers cannot tell
  • Let model providers train on your pages, or show your data to another workspace
  • Hide our crawler behind someone else's user agent

Where and how to reach us
