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 studyWe 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 methodologyOur 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 baseOur 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
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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
