For fractional executives & B2B consultants
Your next client just asked ChatGPT who to hire.
Founders shortlist fractional CMOs, CFOs, COOs, and consultants by asking AI — then they ask AI about every name on the list. PruneQ makes sure the engines can find you, get you right, and cite you. Fixed price, async, no calls.
Run the test your buyers are running.
Open ChatGPT or Perplexity and ask the question a founder in your market would ask this week:
- “Best fractional CMO for B2B SaaS startups”
- “Fractional CFO for agencies — who do you recommend?”
- “Is [your name] a good fractional COO? What do they charge?”
- “Top RevOps consultants for HubSpot teams”
Two things can go wrong. You don't appear — someone else gets the shortlist spot. Or you appear and AI gets you wrong: stale title, vague specialty, no idea who you serve or what you charge.
Both are fixable. They're fixed in different places, on different timelines — and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something. Here's the honest version:
Why expert practices win or lose in AI search
Your buyers ask AI first
Founders and CEOs shortlisting a fractional exec run due diligence through ChatGPT and Perplexity before they ever email anyone. If AI can't find you — or gets you wrong — you're out of the running before you knew you were in it.
You are the entity
A fractional practice is a personal brand. AI engines understand people and businesses as entities: name, specialty, who you serve, what you charge, where you've been cited. Most expert sites give AI none of that in a form it can read.
The math is short
Fractional engagements run $5,000–15,000 a month. The Foundation setup is $750, once. One buyer who finds you instead of your rival covers it many times over. We still won't promise you that buyer — see below for what we do promise.
How results actually work
Two layers, two timelines. We sell both honestly.
Layer 1 · weeks · the Foundation
Accurate when they ask about you
“Who is [your name]?” “Is [your name] worth the retainer?” “[You] vs [rival]?” — branded questions are answered from your own site and profiles. Schema, answer-shaped pages, entity consistency, and crawler access put the right facts where AI reads. This typically moves in weeks, and your included 30–45 day check verifies it with screenshots.
Layer 2 · months · the Growth tier
Recommended when they ask “who's best”
“Best fractional CFO for SaaS” answers are drawn mostly from third-party sources — listicles, directories, communities, podcasts. Getting you onto the specific sources AI already cites is ongoing work, won over months. Narrow long-tail prompts often move much faster, because in most niches nobody else has any signals there.
What we guarantee — and what we never will
We guarantee what we control: valid schema, fixed crawlability, restructured pages, entity consistency, a delivered report, and free fixes for any implementation error. We never guarantee rankings, citations, recommendations, or leads — AI engines decide their own answers, and anyone promising otherwise is guessing with your money. What you get instead of promises: before/after screenshots of real prompts, so you can see exactly what changed.

Questions fractional execs & consultants ask us
- What is AI visibility for a fractional executive or consultant?
- AI visibility is whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini can find you, describe you accurately, and cite your site when someone asks about you or your specialty. For an expert practice it has two parts: how AI answers questions about you by name, and whether you appear when buyers ask for recommendations in your niche.
- Why does this matter more for fractional execs than other businesses?
- Because your buyers are among the heaviest AI users in B2B. A founder hiring a fractional CFO asks ChatGPT to suggest candidates, then asks it about each name on the shortlist. Both moments are decided by signals on and about your website — signals most expert sites don't have.
- How do I check my own AI visibility right now?
- Open ChatGPT (with web search on) and Perplexity and ask: “best [your specialty] for [your buyer]” — do you appear? Then ask about you by name: “Who is [your name]? What do they do and what do they charge?” — is it accurate, and does it cite your site? Those two tests are exactly what we measure, screenshot, and fix.
- Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?
- No — and nobody honestly can, because AI engines decide their own answers. What we guarantee is what we control: valid schema, fixed crawlability, restructured pages, entity consistency, a delivered report, and free fixes for any implementation error. Then we show you before/after screenshots so you can see what changed.
- How fast will I see results?
- Two layers. Accuracy about you by name — AI finding you, describing you correctly, citing your pages — typically moves in weeks, and your day 30–45 follow-up check is included to verify it. Showing up in “best X for Y” recommendations is won on third-party sources over months; specific long-tail prompts often move faster because almost nobody else has signals there.
- Do I have to take the monthly subscription?
- No. The Foundation is complete on its own and includes the 30–45 day follow-up check. Monitor and Growth exist if you want ongoing tracking or want to compete for recommendation share — they're never required, and you can cancel anytime.
- Do we ever get on a call?
- No. Everything is async: one intake email, then we work, then you get a Loom walkthrough and written report. Questions happen over email. If you sell outcomes without meetings, you already know why we built it this way.
- What does it cost?
- The AI Visibility Foundation is $750 one-time (quoted $500–$1,000 by site size — fixed before you commit). Optional afterwards: Monitor at $199/month or Growth at $499/month, cancel anytime.
- I'm a consultant, not a fractional exec — is this for me?
- Yes, if you have a named specialty and a named buyer — “pricing consultant for B2B SaaS,” not “I help businesses grow.” The work is identical: you're an expert entity whose buyers research through AI. If your site can't say who you serve, fix that first (we'll tell you so honestly).
Be findable before the next shortlist.
One email starts it: your site URL, what you do, who you serve. You'll get a fixed quote and a committed delivery date back — before you spend anything.
