Infrastructure Providers
Your buyers are asking AI which vendor to shortlist.
Engines decline to describe your customers' content and answer vendor questions without hesitation. Which processor handles high-risk billing. Which age verification vendor to use. Which host will not drop you. Those answers name someone, monthly, in front of every operator evaluating the category.

What we do for infrastructure providers
Citation sources we audit
Where your operators' recommendations come from
Each engine reads a different set of sources. These decide whether a infrastructure provider gets named in your category.
| Source | Primarily feeds |
|---|---|
| G2 and Capterra category pages | All engines |
| Industry media — XBIZ, YNOT, trade press | All engines |
| Comparison and roundup articles | ChatGPT / Copilot |
| Reddit and operator communities | Perplexity |
| Conference and association listings | All engines |
| Organization and Product schema on your domain | Gemini / AI Overviews |
| Partner and integration directories | All engines |

The prompts we test
Drawn from how operators actually ask, not from keyword tools. A full engagement tracks fifty per market across 4 engines.
- best age verification provider
- age verification vendors compared
- most reliable age verification for adult platforms
- alternatives to the leading age verification provider
How it starts
Three steps, and the first one is free to look at.
-
Baseline
We run fifty real buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot, and show you exactly who gets named instead of you — and which prompts no engine will answer at all.
-
Build
We fix the sources those engines actually read — entity resolution, structured data, roundups, review platforms, community and trade presence — in the order that moves your score fastest.
-
Compound
Every month the score is re-measured and reported, with the citation source behind each mention. You watch the number move and you know what moved it.
Before you ask
The four things people say first.
"You cannot actually measure this."
We measure it every month
Fifty prompts, four engines, three runs each — logged with the source every engine cited. The number is reproducible, you get the raw log rather than a summary, and prompts an engine refuses are reported separately from prompts a competitor won.
"We already have an SEO agency."
Keep them
The work barely overlaps. Theirs happens on your website. Most of ours happens off it — roundups, comparison pages, review platforms, community and trade media. We will tell you plainly if we think you are paying twice.
"This is too new to spend on."
The answers are already being given
Every engine declines to describe your category and recommends inside it anyway. Ask any of them which processor, which vendor, which brand, which app — names come back today. The question is not whether this arrives, it is whether yours is one of them.
"Show us it works first."
That is exactly how we start
Every engagement opens with a fixed-price audit. You see your score, your competitors’ scores and the gaps before committing to anything monthly. If the number is already good, we will say so and stop there.
Comparison
What a traditional SEO retainer does not cover
Not a criticism of SEO — it still matters. These are simply different jobs, and most operators are only buying one of them.
| Traditional SEO agency | Open Secret | |
|---|---|---|
| Engines covered | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot | |
| Where the work happens | Almost entirely on your website | Roughly four fifths off it, where citations come from |
| What success looks like | A position on page one | Being named in a list of five |
| Primary data source | Google Search Console | Engine output, citation logs, roundups, review platforms, community |
| Channels assumed available | Paid search and social alongside organic | Built for categories where those are closed |
| Monthly deliverable | A traffic report | A score, a per-engine breakdown, and a citation source map |
| When you are not cited | No visibility into why | The exact source that produced a competitor mention instead |
| Refused prompts | Not measured | Reported separately — a refusal is not a loss |
| What compounds | Rankings reset with each core update | Presence in the sources engines read |
Every row above is checkable. If your current agency covers a row we have marked, tell us and we will correct it.

Questions infrastructure providers ask
Is any of this work adult content marketing?
No. Your product is B2B software and the marketing is ordinary B2B marketing — comparison pages, review platforms, trade media, schema. Your customers operate in adult; your own site and this engagement do not involve explicit material at any point.
Do operators really use AI to pick vendors?
Increasingly, in the same way they use it for any other software decision. The baseline measures which of your category prompts return a named list at all before it measures whether you are on it, and we report both numbers.
We are in a brand-new category. Is there anything to measure?
That is the best case, not the worst. Where no established shortlist exists the engines assemble one from thin evidence, which means a small amount of correct work moves the answer disproportionately. It also means the position is winnable now and much harder in eighteen months.
Our competitors have been around longer. Does that settle it?
Not on this surface. Citation weight follows source presence rather than company age, and incumbents in this category are frequently invisible on review platforms and in comparison content because they never needed them.
Can you help with the trade conferences?
Listings and post-event content, yes — both are citation sources and both are routinely left unclaimed. We do not run event logistics or staff stands.
How long before the score moves?
Entity and structured-data corrections can register within two to four weeks. Roundup placement and community presence compound over three to six months. We report monthly either way, so you see progress before it is complete.
Can you guarantee we get recommended by ChatGPT?
No, and you should be sceptical of anyone who does. No AI platform publishes how it selects sources. We work from measured output and correlations documented across the industry, we report honestly, and we re-baseline the source map quarterly because these systems change fast.
Is there a minimum term?
No. The monthly plans are cancel any time and the entry engagement is a one-time project with a fixed price. We would rather earn the next month than hold you to a contract. One caveat worth stating plainly: review velocity and third-party coverage compound over three to six months, so leaving at month two means paying for work you never saw finish.
