Evidence-first research for small businesses

Do you know what AI says about your business?

More of your customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google AI Overviews instead of googling: “Who’s the best [your service] in [your city]?” If the AI doesn’t mention you, you’re invisible to that customer — no matter how good your website is.

Barkamonte puts the answers in writing: documented reports where every claim carries a public source, raw data is included — and no ranking is ever promised.

Every claim carries a public source Raw answers & data included 14-day refund, no questions asked No ranking promises, ever

How it works

From order to evidence in three steps

Today this applies to the live $29 report. The coming services follow the same principle — flat price, documented delivery.

1

Order securely

Checkout is handled by Gumroad, an established payment platform. You pay a flat price once — no subscription, no hidden fees, and you never share payment details with us.

2

Get the report

The $29 market scan is a digital product: download instantly after purchase (14-page PDF + Markdown). Upcoming service reports are delivered within their stated time — 3–5 business days — as plain-language PDFs with raw-data appendices.

3

14-day refund

Not what you expected? The live report comes with a full refund within 14 days, no questions asked. We would rather keep our credibility than your $29.

Who is Barkamonte?
Barkamonte is an independent research brand. We produce documented reports and audits for small and medium-sized businesses — built with modern research tooling, checked by independent reviewers before release, and sold at flat prices. We let sources speak; we don’t sell personalities or promises.
Do you guarantee better rankings or AI visibility?
No — and be careful with anyone who does. Rankings and AI answers change constantly and depend on factors no vendor controls. What we guarantee is documentation: what AI engines actually answer today, the raw data behind it, the sources they cite, and a prioritized fix list you can act on.
How do I receive my report?
Immediately after checkout, Gumroad provides your download link (PDF + Markdown). Bought earlier and lost the link? Gumroad’s order-lookup page resends it. Service reports (coming soon) are delivered by e-mail within the stated business days.
What is coming next?
Two flat-price services are in final preparation: the AI Visibility Audit ($199–299, delivered in 5 business days) and the Website Health Check ($95–199, delivered in 3 business days). Both follow the same evidence rules: raw data included, every finding traced to a source.
