Getting Started with Surmado

Surmado has three main products. You buy reports, not subscriptions.

What Surmado Offers

Surmado Scan A $25 or $50 SEO audit that checks technical issues, performance, and accessibility. Report in about 15 minutes.

Surmado Signal A $25 or $50 AI visibility test. We check 7 AI platforms to see how often they recommend you. Report in about 15 minutes.

The 7 platforms we test: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, Grok, and DeepSeek.

Surmado Solutions A $50 strategic plan. Six AI advisors debate your decision and give you a 90-day action plan. Report in about 15 minutes.

All reports available via API with webhook delivery. Integrate into your existing workflows or automate recurring checks.

Start with Surmado Scan if you want to find and fix SEO problems. Start with Surmado Signal if you want to understand your AI visibility. When you are ready for a bigger shift, run Surmado Solutions.

How Pricing Works

Behind the scenes you pay with credits. 1 credit = $25. Essentials reports cost 1 credit. Pro and Surmado Solutions cost 2 credits. The $100 bundle gives you 6 credits you can use across any tool.

Most people buy a single $25 or $50 report first. Power users often buy the $100 bundle, which gives them enough credit to run all three reports and still have flexibility for extra Essentials runs.

Surmado does not submit your site to AI or sell placements. These are tests and action plans based on what we actually observe.
