# Domain Gap Alert

A lightweight hook: enter a seed term, the tool pulls related search terms, checks whether your domain ranks for any, and if it does not, generates an alert, "you are invisible for these terms, here is the cost of that." It quantifies the gap rather than asking a prospect to trust that search matters.

## How does the domain gap alert work?

Rather than arguing that AEO matters, the tool shows a prospect exactly where they are losing to competitors and quantifies it. It works as a free-trial entry point and a natural on-ramp into opportunity analysis and content work.

## Key figures
