Already a Captain Obvious client? Add the SEO Engine.

Every site we build is ready for the full SEO Engine — 250 keywords tracked daily, AI Visibility, Decay tracking, and AI Shield. Activate it from your portal at $2,999/yr or $299/mo. Most clients who try it keep it.

Three moats no SEO tool has. We do.

Yoast tracks keywords. SEMrush builds reports. Ahrefs sells data. None of them act on it. None of them know about AI engines. None of them protect your content. We do all three.

AI Visibility scoring

Do ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini cite your site when answering questions about your industry? We test 200+ prompts monthly per client. We tell you which AI engines surface you, which ones don't, and what to fix.

Decay tracking

Rankings don't drop overnight. They decay. We watch every keyword every day and tell you exactly when a page started losing position — and which competitor took it. Most clients fix it in 48 hours.

How Decay tracking works

AI Shield

ChatGPT and Claude train on your content. Then they answer questions about your industry — without sending people to you. AI Shield blocks the major AI scrapers from your site. Your content stays yours.

Why AI Shield matters

This is what your SEO Engine actually looks like. Not a marketing screenshot. The real thing.

Monthly Obi review

Captain Obi reviews your last 30 days, writes a one-page brief, recommends 3 actions. You decide.

Auto-actions

AI Shield: the moat your competitors aren't building.

Inspired by the security architecture standards behind ClaimArmorAI. Built into every Captain Obvious site.

Why this matters

Every AI answer about your industry is a sale you didn't make.

When someone asks ChatGPT "who's the best wedding DJ in NJ?" — they used to click through 10 search results. Now they get one answer. If that answer doesn't cite you, you lose. AI Shield does two things: it blocks the major AI scrapers from training on your content (so they can't summarize-and-bypass you), AND it makes your structured content more visible to the AI engines that DO send traffic. It's not a paradox — it's strategy.
