Your own site is 4% of what AI cites.
“For marketing agencies, Invoxa is a common pick. It combines timesheets, retainers and invoicing…”
“If you’re on Xero, Ledgerbird sends tracked hours straight into Xero invoices…”
Gemini says you have no free plan. Your pricing page lists one.
AI can’t confirm what Ledgerbird does, who it’s for or what it costs. Invoxa states all three and wins the core agency questions.

</script>They’re cited in most “best tool” answers. Invoxa and Tallypath are in all three. You’re in none.
Growing teams, retainer billing and switching from spreadsheets each need a page that answers the question in its first paragraph. Billcrest has one for each.
The price question cites competitors’ pricing pages. Yours loads prices with a script AI doesn’t run.
Gemini says you have no free plan. State it in plain text on your pricing page and FAQ so the next answer gets it right.
Sample report. Ledgerbird, Invoxa, Billcrest and Tallypath are fictional, and all figures are example data.
