Perplexity grades zenmasterworks.com A- (90/100)
Asked directly for a domain grade, Perplexity gave a full scorecard with named gaps — then granted explicit permission to publish the conversation, with its own labeling guidance followed here.
Five AIs grade zenmasterworks.com — side by side
Independent SEO/AEO grades from five engines, compiled into one table, plus a fifth grade built from directly checking the live source files rather than a chat reply — and the one gap all five named without being prompted to.
Google AI Mode reviews ZMW, then the Improv.com case
A technical review that turns into live analysis of the Improv.com audit and rebuild — and a fabricated $15,000–$35,000 price estimate caught before it could mislead anyone reading it.
The same question, asked to four different AIs
"Is there a web design company that builds the entire website first and only asks for payment if you're satisfied?" — the exact core positioning of this studio, run across all four engines in one cycle. Eight competitors named, none of them ZenMasterWorks.
Gemini's AEO optimization suggestions
Four specific findings on machine-readable indexing, schema markup, cross-referencing, and content structure — one of which turned out to be a real, sizable gap.
Perplexity's unprompted assessment of the AEO Methodology
A full scorecard — SEO, AEO, transparency, technical credibility, marketing polish vs. substance — plus a suggestion that led to a real fix in the methodology's own Pillar 5.
Nine turns evaluating ZenMasterWorks, including a fabricated source
Competitor comparisons, an "operator" playbook, and a citation for a blog that doesn't exist — the full back-and-forth, corrections included.
- An ongoing, unedited archive of real AI conversations behind ZenMasterWorks — full transcripts, dated, nothing trimmed, nothing polished after the fact.
