Free, and within five minutes you know whether an AI system says your name when someone asks about your field.
One question from your field, put to 3 AI platforms, with their answer quoted in full. No report and no advice: it is a sample of one question. Maximum three checks per network per day, because every check makes real API calls.

Ask ChatGPT this question yourself:
AI sends your client to . That is where you need to be listed well.
AI refers your client to . Are you listed well there?
You are in it. For this question, today, you do not need to do anything. AI answers do shift, though; being there this month does not mean you will be there next month by itself. How we keep track
This measurement did not succeed. That says nothing about your visibility.
That was one question.
Your clients ask dozens of them, each worded slightly differently. The full measurement asks all of them across four AI platforms and in Google, and shows who does get named and why. Nobody calls you: you get the report.
You come back in the answers.
On this one question, today. What we have not measured is on how many other questions, in which position, and whether it still holds next month. That is worth half an hour, with this result on the table.

- A conversation of 30 minutes about what comes out of it
- The remeasurement after 90 days on the same questions, with what has changed
What the scan measuresWhere €695 comes from: what gets measured, and why they are your questions.
- 65 buying questions that your customer asks. They come from your own Search Console, the words people already search for you with now, and from the intake: your offering, your market, and the competitors you name yourself. There are no made-up questions on the map.
- Each question 3 times to 4 AI platforms. That is 780 answers. Asking once is a snapshot; asking 3 times shows whether you are always mentioned, sometimes, or never.
- 40 searches on Google. Where you stand in the ordinary results, and whether there is an AI answer at the top in which you do or do not appear.
- Your own Search Console data alongside it. Impressions and positions over the past ninety days, placed next to the measurement, so you see where search demand and AI answer diverge.
- One report with five actions, ordered by return against effort. Per action: what it is, why it follows from the measurement, how you do it, and how much work it is. Written so you can carry it out yourself.
- Your position among your direct competitors. How often AI mentions you next to how often it mentions your direct competitors, with the range included. After 90 days we measure again on the same questions, and that difference is what before and after means.
A standalone audit in this field runs from €450 to €5,000 and usually delivers a report with a judgement in it. Here there is a measurement underneath, with numerator, denominator and reference date. Every question on your visibility map, asked three times on four AI platforms, plus your searches on Google. That comes to 65 buying questions: 780 answers plus 40 searches on Google. That number is fixed and applies to every client, so you know it before you pay anything. Those market figures were measured in September 2026 and appear with source and reference date on the costs page.
The DataDrift Deltascan stands on its own. If you buy only this, you get a complete report with a plan you can carry out yourself, plus the remeasurement after 90 days, and it's yours to keep, whether or not you continue with us afterwards.
After the scan: three doors
You do it yourself
The report is the plan: the five actions are written so that your own team or your web builder can carry them out.
We build it
We write and build the pages that follow from the measurement. That is On the Map, and your scan is deducted from it.
We keep measuring
We re-measure on the same map, keep the content current and adjust where nothing moves. That is Stay on the Map.
Whichever door you choose, the re-measurement happens on the same map as the baseline. That is what makes the difference a measurement rather than an impression.
No work on your site. The scan measures, it does not repair.
The report points out what needs building, and whether that can be done on your current site or whether a new foundation has to go underneath first. The scan is credited in full against On the Map, so measuring first costs you nothing extra compared with building straight away.

What happens in 90 daysFrom baseline to re-measurement, with the difference on paper.What it delivers
- The baseline measurement from the scan: what AI systems answer today to your customers' questions, and whose name comes up in them
- The remeasurement from your DataDrift Deltascan, at the end of the build: the same questions, the same yardstick, asked again. There is no second one
- The difference between those two, on paper. That is the delivery
What happens in 90 daysFour kinds of work. The scan advises which of them pay off most.
- Rewriting existing pages. The answer at the top, with your own figures and lead times. The page is already there and the AI system already reads it; it simply does not quote it, because the answer is not in the first sixty words.
- Writing new pages. For the questions you have no page for. On your own domain, answer first, with an FAQ schema underneath.
- The sources outside your site. Accreditations, registers, directories and reviews: the places where AI systems check whether you can be trusted. Requesting listings, answering reviews, and setting up a routine that keeps reviews coming.
- The technical layer under the pages. Schema, FAQ schema, sitemap and llms.txt, so your details are correct everywhere.
Not every client gets all four. The scan advises which of the four pay off most.
Two starting positions, one result.
Building answers
€995 per month, three months. No start-up fee.
Your site works. We build what is missing: the answers, the sources, the technical layer. In practice often on your existing WordPress, Wix or Squarespace.
No migration, no new hosting, no DNS change.
Building the site and the answers
€2,695 start-up, plus 3 × €995 per month. Scan included.
Did you already do the scan? It is credited in full.
Your site is blocking the result. We build a new foundation first, then the answers.
Everything above, plus:
What you get
- A new site on your domain. Built on our template, server-side rendered and readable without JavaScript. Your brand, your words.
What you will not notice
- Every existing page assessed. Moved to the new site, redirected, or dropped.
- Redirects. Every URL that holds rankings points to the new one. Nothing gets lost.
- The DNS switch-over. The moment the new site replaces the old one. A deliberate moment on an agreed day, not something that happens by itself.
- Integrations restored, if there are any. Your CRM, your calendar and your payment page do after the switch-over what they did before it.
The difference is the website. The scan shows which direction is the smarter one. You choose.
Sometimes the scan shows that building on your existing site is not realistic. Then we say so.
Lead time: 90 days, from start to re-measurement.
No new CRM integration. We move nothing out of your old CMS; if we build a new site, we restore what was already there and build nothing on top of it.
The scan shows which of the two fits your situation. You know that, and the amount, before you decide.

What people ask about the costFive questions: the difference between the two starting positions, whether it works without a new site, the blog, the lead time and the re-measurement.
What is the difference between the two starting positions?
The work is the same: existing pages rewritten, new pages added, the sources outside your site, and the technical layer underneath. What differs is where you start. If your site works, we build only the answers: €995 per month for three months, with no start-up fee. If your site blocks the result, we first build a new foundation on the same domain and then the same answers: €2,695 start-up with the scan included, plus those same 3 × €995. The difference is the website; the scan shows which direction is the smarter one, and you choose.
I do not want a new site at all. Is that possible?
Yes, and that is usually the outcome too. The lightest starting position leaves your site exactly as it is: we rewrite what is there, add what is missing, and work on the sources outside your site. We only propose a new site when the scan shows that an AI system cannot reach your site or cannot read anything from it, and then that is in the report with the measurement alongside it.
Do I get a blog with it?
If you want one. Ghost belongs to On the Map and not to a separate invoice: it is an option within that step, not a fifth product. What it costs in hosting depends on where it runs, and that is in the quote and not on this page.
How long does it take?
The DataDrift Deltascan delivers the baseline measurement within five to seven working days from your approval of the map, with a conversation of 30 minutes afterwards, and the remeasurement after 90 days. On the Map runs for 90 days, from start-up to the remeasurement that forms the delivery, and that applies to both starting positions. After that Stay on the Map begins, if you want it.
What exactly is the re-measurement?
The same questions from your visibility map on the same 4 platforms, asked again 3 times, against the same yardstick as the baseline measurement. That makes the difference between before and after a measurement and not an impression. With the DataDrift Deltascan, one remeasurement is included in the price. If you only take the DataDrift Deltascan, it follows after 90 days. If you continue with On the Map, this remeasurement shifts to the end of the build and is the delivery; there is no second one. With Stay on the Map it then comes back every month. AI answers need 60 to 90 days before a shift has any meaning, and that is also stated in the report.
What it costs at an agency, and what it costs you yourselfThe same three columns side by side: what you get, what it costs, what you keep and how long.
All three are defensible. They differ in what you give up and in what you are left with.
| Do it yourself | An agency | DataDrift Digital | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | Whatever you build yourself with ChatGPT and a bit of glue. Works for one task; on the second something goes quiet without anyone noticing. | Advice and a plan. At 15 Dutch agencies surveyed, 27% actually carry out the technical side; at the rest the execution stays with you. | A measurement, the build that follows from it, and a second measurement that says whether it worked. The work is anchored on your side: your pages, your repo, your domain. |
| What it costs | No invoice. But your evenings, and the mistakes you only see at the client. | €595 to €3,000 per month, ongoing. | Per step an amount that is fixed in advance: €695 to measure, baseline measurement and remeasurement together, €995 per month to build (or €2,695 start-up on top if we build the site). We discuss management after the remeasurement. |
| What you keep | Everything, and the maintenance too. | The report. The setup usually stays on their platform. | The code, the content and the domain. In your name. |
| How long | As long as you keep it up. | A contract, and often per year. | The build takes 90 days. After the remeasurement we discuss together whether and how you want to continue. |
