Machine-verifiable foundation

An attractive website is not evidence. Consistent entities, extractable answers and independent sources are.

01 / Free readiness check

Find out how much an answer engine still has to guess.

Twelve questions. About three minutes. No email gate. The result separates a weak evidence foundation from a credible foundation whose live visibility still needs testing.

Question 1 of 12Entity reliability
Do your website, company profiles and important directories use the same name, category, location and business description?

No email, account or tracking. Your answers remain in this browser and disappear when you leave or reset the check.

02 / The quiet problem

Digital irrelevance has no error message.

Search engines and AI systems do not experience your service. They reconstruct it from signals.

A respected company can become difficult to recommend without becoming less good. Its expertise may be scattered across old pages, inconsistent profiles, unsupported claims and sources that no longer agree.

TrustSignal Pro examines fifty factors and shows what should be repaired before a more extensive visibility audit becomes useful.

03 / The evidence framework

Five conditions make a business easier to select.

Technical access and accurate structured data run through every condition. They connect the evidence; they do not replace it.

01

Entity reliability

Whether your organisation, people, services and relationships remain consistent across the sources a machine can inspect.

Identity · relationships · consistency
02

Answer structure

Whether important pages answer real buyer questions in complete, extractable and unambiguous passages.

Questions · passages · clarity
03

Proof of specialisation

Whether specific expertise is supported by named experience, methods, authors, examples and other checkable evidence.

Expertise · attribution · evidence
04

Recency and depth

Whether source material is current and complete enough to support the questions that influence selection and purchase.

Freshness · completeness · ownership
05

Source signals

Whether credible independent sources corroborate the organisation and the expertise it claims.

Mentions · citations · corroboration

04 / TrustSignal Pro

A diagnostic of the foundation, not a smaller full audit.

01

Written diagnosis

What machines and buyers can verify, where the evidence breaks and what that means commercially.

02

Trust Signal Score

A transparent 0–100 diagnostic result with all fifty factors visible. It is not a prediction of AI selection.

03

Prioritised action list

The smallest credible repair sequence, ordered by commercial consequence rather than technical convenience.

04

Thirty-minute review

One direct conversation with Marc Wajsberg to challenge the findings and assign the next decisions.

Three levels. No disguised duplication.

The free check screens the foundation. TrustSignal Pro diagnoses it. The full X8 audit tests live visibility and builds the ninety-day programme.

06 / Five business days

No retainer is required to tell you what is wrong.

Implementation remains with the people you choose.

  1. Day 0Scope

    The business, markets and decision questions are fixed.

  2. Days 1–3Evidence

    Fifty signals are inspected, traced and scored manually.

  3. Day 4Commercial order

    Findings are translated into consequence and sequence.

  4. Day 5Delivery

    The report, score and action list are reviewed with you.

07 / Good fit

Start with the diagnostic when:

  • entity and source ownership is fragmented;
  • AI systems describe your company incompletely;
  • several suppliers each own part of the problem;
  • you want evidence before commissioning a full audit.

Go straight to X8

Choose the full audit when:

  • your evidence foundation is already coherent;
  • you need live platform and competitor testing;
  • you need a page-level ninety-day roadmap.

08 / Senior review

The report is read by the person whose name is on it.

Marc Wajsberg works at the intersection of buyer psychology, commercial strategy and marketing decisions.

He has guided more than 150 businesses across sectors and markets. The task is not to produce a longer list of defects. It is to decide which defects change selection, trust and revenue.

TrustSignal Pro is a service of X8 Agency, operated by Clixreclame BV in Knokke-Heist, Belgium.

09 / Questions before evidence

Frequently asked questions about AEO readiness

01What is the free AI Visibility Readiness Check?

It is a twelve-question self-assessment of the foundations that search and AI systems use to understand and verify a business. It gives a readiness profile, not an AEO score. No email address is required and no answers are stored.

02What is a Trust Signal Diagnostic?

It is an independent senior review of fifty factors across entity reliability, answer structure, proof of specialisation, recency, source signals and technical access. You receive a 0–100 diagnostic score, written diagnosis, prioritised action list and thirty-minute review within five business days.

03How is this different from the €4,200 X8 AEO Visibility Audit?

TrustSignal Pro diagnoses whether the evidence foundation is credible and what should be repaired first. The full X8 audit goes further: live citation-gap testing across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI, entity analysis, a per-core-page answer-readiness review, structured-data review, external-source mapping, a prioritised ninety-day roadmap and a ninety-minute debrief.

04How is this different from an SEO audit?

A conventional SEO audit usually concentrates on rankings, crawlability and on-page execution. TrustSignal Pro examines whether the organisation, expertise and claims are consistent, attributable, current, technically accessible and supported by sources that machines can verify.

05What does the 0–100 Trust Signal Score measure?

The score summarises the strength and consistency of fifty published review factors. It is a diagnostic device, not a vanity badge or a prediction of AI selection. The factor-level evidence matters more because it determines what should be fixed first.

06Can you guarantee that ChatGPT or Google will recommend us?

No. No credible provider can control an external search or AI system. The diagnostic identifies which verifiable signals are present, weak, contradictory or absent, then shows how to reduce the amount of guessing those systems must do.

07Do I need to replace my current agency?

No. TrustSignal Pro is independent of implementation retainers. Your agency, internal team or chosen specialists can use the report. If the current work is sound, the evidence will show it.

08How long does the diagnostic take and what does it cost?

The Trust Signal Diagnostic starts at €1,500 excluding VAT and is delivered within five business days after the required access and source material have been received. Scope and price are agreed before work starts. There is no automatic retainer.

10 / Start with the doubt

Find out where the machines still have to guess.

The Trust Signal Diagnostic starts at €1,500 excluding VAT. You receive the fixed scope, fee and timing before work begins.
