Updated 16 October 2026. This revision replaces the older product and competitor comparison. Previous per-scan prices and “cheapest” claims are not a current CAFMO subscription offer.
Compare tools on the same job: technical website evidence, observed assistant answers or repeated monitoring. Ask to see the evidence behind the score before comparing the price. ScopeSite is not making a current market-wide “cheapest” claim.
A dashboard can produce a splendid number without answering the question you asked. For a recruitment director, the question might be whether hiring managers can find the engineering desk, understand its experience and get hold of someone. A large green circle needs rather more explanation than its colour.
What did the tool actually inspect?
A technical checker might fetch the initial HTML, render the page in a browser, inspect robots rules or ask a third-party service for metrics. Those methods see different things. A browser-rendered audit does not prove that a crawler which skips scripts received the same content.
Ask for the checked URLs, the fetch method and the time of the check. If the tool inspected a homepage, its findings should not become a verdict on every vacancy page, every subdomain and the entire business.
What does “AI mentions” mean?
It might mean an actual saved answer from an assistant, a search result containing your name, or a model assessing a supplied list of URLs. Each can be useful, but the report needs to identify which happened. A model judging candidate pages has not thereby reproduced the answer a hiring manager saw in ChatGPT.
Look for the prompt, provider, product or API, date, visible answer and cited sources. A mention and a citation are separate observations. Neither proves a visit or an enquiry, and a citation does not expose every step of the provider’s retrieval process.
Can you investigate a poor result?
Useful findings point to something you can inspect. A blocked request needs its status and route. A contradictory business name needs the conflicting page or field. A schema issue needs the relevant markup and validation context. “Improve your authority” is a particularly economical report to produce.
Generated fixes also need review. Suggested JSON-LD must describe the real business and visible page, without manufacturing an office, a review or a current vacancy. Getting through a syntax validator is only one part of that check.
Are access controls explained properly?
OpenAI and Anthropic document different roles for search, potential model training and user-directed requests. Perplexity distinguishes its search crawler from user-requested fetching. A report should state the specific agent and rule it checked instead of treating “AI blocked” as one universal switch.
An llms.txt file can provide a curated map for tools that choose to read it. It does not replace robots.txt, authentication or visible page content, and its presence does not prove a citation benefit.
Can you compare the commercial scope?
Check the total charge, the useful allowance, provider coverage, repeats, domains, exports and cancellation terms. Do not compare a saved prompt with a single-page scan as though both vendors sold the same unit. Our guide to scan costs works through that distinction.
CAFMO and the earlier scanner
CAFMO means Can AI Find Me Online, ScopeSite’s live application for checking website pages, inspecting model answers and keeping a saved improvement plan. V.O.I.C.E. is the underlying methodology and engine name. CAFMO is live at canaifindme.online with monthly plans. The earlier scanner remains at voice.scopesite.co.uk, with its existing accounts and credits kept separate. Purchased legacy credits do not expire and are not automatically converted into subscriptions.
A page check examines the website evidence it can retrieve. Its findings do not give a percentage chance of an AI recommendation, or show that every assistant has searched for or cited your business.
Use CAFMO’s monthly plans for the live application, or the earlier scanner’s pricing page for existing credits. ScopeSite’s agency services are a separate purchase.
A sensible recruitment starting point
Choose a real employer question and the page that should answer it. Check that the specialism, geography, proof and next step agree, then record what the selected assistant actually returns. The recruitment AI discovery guide sets out those separate observations.
A tool earns its place when its evidence helps you make the next decision. The number of animated charts is less important.
