# Digital Elevator

> AI visibility and SEO company for mid-market B2B teams in healthcare, life sciences, biotech, medtech, labtech, B2B SaaS, edtech and ecommerce. Fixed-price, fixed-scope programs that get brands named and cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews — priced publicly, with no discovery phase before work starts.

Digital Elevator was founded in 2010 and operates fully remote. The company productized senior-level execution into fixed-scope programs for in-house marketing directors and lean marketing teams who can't justify an agency retainer and won't get value from a cheap tool. The current focus is AI visibility: the off-site signals (brand mentions, community presence, earned media) and on-site structure that determine whether an AI assistant names a brand in its answer.

## Methodology

- **AI Visibility Report** — a controlled diagnostic run across ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews on a brand's actual buyer-intent queries, measuring where the brand is named, where it is cited as a source, and which competitors are taking the answer instead
- **Three-pillar AI visibility program** — off-site signal building, on-site extractability, and third-party corroboration, weighted to whichever gap the report identifies rather than delivered as a fixed checklist
- **AI skills and agents** — an internal library of Claude-based skills that automate audits, content briefs, competitive analysis and reporting
- **Productized scope** — every program is priced and scoped up front from internal benchmarking, with no discovery phase before work starts
