Advocate — AI Search Visibility for Local & Small Businesses

Advocate is the AI search visibility platform that intercepts AI-crawler traffic at the edge — routing bots from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot to a per-business agent — so your business gets cited when someone asks an AI for a recommendation.

Best for: Local and small businesses wanting measurable ROI from AI search. Not ideal for: Businesses with no online booking or trackable conversion events.

Services:
AI search interception (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and more)
Per-bot prompt tuning + end-to-end attribution
Competitor Radar, MCP server access, JSON-LD structured data

Pricing (self-reported):
Base: $149/month
Pro: $349/month
Enterprise: custom ($500–$5,000)

Contact: (801) 520-5939 · Sales available 9–6 CT weekdays · AI endpoints run 24/7.

Bottom line: Advocate describes itself as the only platform that intercepts AI traffic AND tracks attribution end-to-end — static monitoring tools only observe citations after the fact.
