In their words
Owners who finally saw the whole picture
“Sonar showed us exactly what customers and Google see, and what to fix first.”
Real customers, shared with permission, owner names withheld for confidentiality.
The stakes
Right now, an opinion is forming, without you in the room.
AI is recommending someone
When a customer asks ChatGPT or Claude for the best option near them, an answer comes back. If it isn't naming you, it's naming a competitor.
Google scores signals you can't see
Schema, Core Web Vitals, structured data, AI-readiness, invisible technical factors quietly deciding whether you ever show up.

Every review, read and understood

The builds that close the gaps, ranked by dollars
Every gap becomes a concrete build, scored by effort, timeline, and projected lift. Claude ranks them so you start with the move that returns the most, each one with the expected outcome and the cost of doing nothing.

Crescendo Consultants launches free AI visibility analysis to help small businesses get recommended by AI engines
The report details Crescendo’s launch of a free analysis that shows local and mid-market businesses how they appear across Google and the major AI assistants, then maps the specific gaps standing between them and being recommended to customers.
Read the story“Most businesses close because they never knew where they stood. Sonar gives them that picture in about 30 minutes. Soon it will deploy the fixes too.”

Featured · Strategy + build
A national manufacturer doubled sales by entering a market it had no infrastructure to serve
A national manufacturer had plateaued in its core market. Sonar’s analysis isolated the single highest-value opportunity: an adjacent B2B segment the business had no infrastructure to serve. Crescendo then designed and built the technology to run that channel end to end, from systems to workflows. Sales subsequently doubled.

Methodology
Exactly what we measure, and how
No black box. Here's what goes into every score, where the numbers come from, and how we benchmark them.
It's a weighted composite of five sub-scores, each graded 0–100 and benchmarked against your closest competitors. Performance: Google's Core Web Vitals, LCP, INP and CLS, plus page weight and render-blocking resources. Security: HTTPS, a valid certificate, HSTS, Content-Security-Policy and other response headers, and mixed-content checks. SEO: title and meta structure, headings, canonical tags, sitemap and indexability. AI-readiness: Schema.org structured data, robots/llms directives, and how cleanly an AI crawler can parse your content. Mobile: responsive layout, tap-target sizing and viewport. We roll those into one number and always surface the single highest-leverage fix first.
