Positioning Assessment · your AI visibility audit
Anyone looking for a provider today asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI – and gets an answer before they’ve seen a single website.
If someone else is named in it, your phone doesn’t ring. It simply stays quiet. We measure whether your name comes up – and, if it doesn’t, why not.

No access needed · nothing to prepare · fully credited if you go on to implementation
You don’t have to take our word for it. Try it yourself, now, before you read on.
Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI three questions. Don’t ask about your company by name – ask the way someone who doesn’t know you yet would.
What comes back is the answer your next customer gets.
Either you’re in it. Or someone whose work you know to be weaker.
And if you’re not in it: you weren’t in it yesterday either. It’s just that nobody told you – a call that never comes leaves no record. So everything carries on as before – and that is the real finding.
We’re a small consultancy, not a big company – so we’re in the same position as you. For the German search term “jobs to be done-methode”, Oberwasser Consulting ranks at position 1.0 on Google. Last month the page was shown there 44 times. It wasn’t clicked once.
0clicks
Position 1.0. 44 impressions for our core term.
0clicks
11 search terms in the top 10. 546 impressions in total.
2clicks
310 specialist terms. 2,809 impressions.
It’s not the ranking – we’re at the top, after all. The answer now comes before the website.
People who ask get their answer – and no longer click through. That means a good ranking is no longer proof that anyone is reaching you.
Anyone who sells you visibility through rankings is selling you a metric that misses precisely this. So we measure something else: whether you appear in the answer.

What the check does
In your languages and for the area you serve. We measure where you’re named, where you’re not, and who is named there instead. You don’t need to give us any access and there’s nothing to prepare.
Afterwards, you’ll know
Three things you can only guess at today. After that, you no longer have to rely on gut feeling to judge whether this affects you.
You get not just the finding, but the way forward.
The report shows which gaps exist, in what order it makes sense to close them and what each of them requires. Around seven pages, with a concrete next step. Whether you implement it yourself or bring us in to do it is then up to you.
What the check doesn’t measure: why customers buy from you or walk away once they have found you. There’s a different tool for that – the Customer Insights Sprint.
No promise of placements
The systems decide that, and their decisions keep changing. What we promise is measurement to a fixed standard – and the way forward that follows from its findings.
No promise of when it takes effect
We have observed anything from minutes to weeks. How to tell when it has taken effect is set out in the report.
No entry without evidence
Without documented third-party recognition, an entry in the knowledge graph would be deleted. We tell you what to do first instead.
No Wikipedia article
Only third parties can create one. But you can influence what makes one more likely.
And if the measurement shows that implementation is not worthwhile for you, we will tell you that too.
Do the maths: what is one contract worth to you – one you win because someone came to you and not to a competitor? If a single contract like that brings in more than €1,900, the measurement has paid for itself. And the money isn’t lost if you go further.
You start where it makes sense for you. Tier 2 includes Tier 1 in full – what you invest in the Positioning Assessment is credited in full. Tier 3 requires Tier 2.

You get
For you if you want to know first whether this is worth it at all.

net · the €1,900 is credited
Tier 2
Take your position
The evidence the systems need to recognise you is in place – and the follow-up measurement shows you what has moved.
You get
For you if you want to act on the finding, not just read it.
€590
net per month · minimum term of three months, then cancellable monthly
Tier 3
Hold and extend your position
We measure and hold what has been built – and keep extending it if you want us to.
You get
Requires Tier 2. For you if being named is a sales channel rather than a sideline.
What we promise is the measurement. What we do not promise is a placement; the systems decide that.
If the report does not show where you stand, you get your money back, no questions asked.
If implementation is not worthwhile, we tell you.
If you then go on to implementation, we credit the full €1,900.
Before we set the price, we examined the market we work in ourselves – and published the result.
Many firms advertise that the diagnosis is credited towards the implementation. So do we.
But anyone who earns from the implementation has an interest in it being needed – which is why, in other fields, German law prohibits this (Section 8b(4) of the Energy Services Act, EDL-G; Section 55(1), first sentence, of the Public Accountants Act, WPO). Nobody requires it of us.
That is why we tell you when implementation is not worthwhile.
The study with all sources, CC BY 4.0: Wer genannt wird, wenn der Markt fragt (“Who gets named when the market asks”, in German) · price data as of 1 September 2026.
We don’t ask you for anything that’s already online.
Legal form, address, directory entries, press mentions – finding those is our job. We only ask for what we can’t find out ourselves.
