07WHO WE ARE

Who we are

We are the official implementation partner of menzIA, the GEO measurement platform. Only 16% of brands systematically measure their AI visibility. We work for the remaining 84%.

We promise certainty about knowing where you stand — never guarantees about what an engine will say. Anyone who guarantees you an AI answer is selling you something they don't control.

DOJO AI · SEP-2025 · 16% OF BRANDS MEASURE

Is this SEO?

No. SEO optimizes your page's ranking in a list of links; Mention Engineering™ optimizes attribution inside generated answers. Brand mentions correlate 0.664 with AI visibility; backlinks, 0.218 [AHREFS · 75,000 BRANDS · 2025].

Do you guarantee AI will mention my brand?

No, and nobody can. We promise certainty about where you stand: daily, dated, certified measurement across 4 engines. Anyone who guarantees you an AI answer is selling something they don't control.

Which engines do you measure?

Four: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. 30 real queries per brand, every day — ~3,600 AI answers per month.

When do I see results?

The baseline is certified by day 10. The assessment (months 1–2) delivers the baseline report and a 10-month roadmap; from month 3 every intervention is verified before/after.

Why does it start with a paid assessment?

Because without a baseline there is no data: every later action is compared against a dated measurement. The assessment is USD 2,000, one-time, and the report is yours even if you don't continue.

The next answer is being generated right now.
