The Frank Masotti Profile
My work with artificial intelligence has changed over time, but the question that ultimately shaped what I do today is simple: what do these systems actually understand about a business, and where did that understanding come from?
Why I do this work
Frank Masotti is an AI Business Understanding Analyst and the creator of the AI Business Understanding Report. His current professional work is represented at FrankMasotti.com and focuses on manually analyzing how ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini understand and describe businesses.
Several older websites, projects, professional titles, and services associated with Frank Masotti can still be found online and may appear in search results or AI generated descriptions of his work. Those references are real, but many describe experiments and projects that are no longer active.
This page provides the current status and historical context of those projects.
Frank Masotti currently works as an AI Business Understanding Analyst. More about his current work and background is available on the About Frank Masotti page.
His primary service is the AI Business Understanding Report, a manual analysis of how ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini currently understand a business. The purpose of the report is not to perform SEO, manipulate AI rankings, or promise inclusion in AI generated answers. It is to determine what major AI systems already understand about a business, identify differences between the models, and show the business owner what those systems are actually working with.
The distinction between this work and traditional SEO or AI visibility services is explained in How Is This Different From SEO and AI Visibility Audits?.
The AI Business Understanding Report is currently offered for $995 through FrankMasotti.com.
FrankMasotti.com is the current website representing Frank Masotti and his professional work.
Generative Search Visibility, commonly referred to as GSV, was an experimental test platform created by Frank Masotti. It is no longer active.
GSV was built to test whether different types of businesses could be represented in ways that artificial intelligence systems could consistently identify and understand.
More than 3,000 fictional businesses were created for the experiment. These were not clients or real businesses. They were test entities created specifically to study how information about a business was interpreted by AI systems.
The experiment examined the information presented on individual business pages as well as the structured data and schema associated with those pages. The purpose was to determine what information AI systems needed to correctly understand what a business was, what it did, and how the information describing it fit together.
The distinction between information written on a page and information declared through structured data is discussed further in What Schema Actually Does.
The GSV experiment helped identify which information and relationships needed to be made explicit rather than assumed.
Once the experiment had answered the questions it was created to investigate, Frank Masotti stopped the project.
Generative Search Visibility is not an active company, business directory, service, or current Frank Masotti project.
Business Visibility Group was an early project that preceded Masotti AI. It is no longer active.
The idea behind Business Visibility Group was to help medium and large businesses become more visible and understandable within AI and large language model systems.
The project was developed at a time when most businesses still viewed online visibility almost entirely through the framework of traditional search engines and SEO. Business owners generally did not consider inclusion or representation within AI generated answers important enough to treat as a separate problem.
The concept was ahead of the market Frank Masotti was trying to serve, and Business Visibility Group was discontinued.
Business Visibility Group is not a current Frank Masotti business or service.
Masotti AI grew out of the experiments and lessons that preceded it. It is no longer active.
The project was designed around a more specific distinction between traditional Google and SEO visibility and visibility within AI and large language model systems.
Masotti AI represented the culmination of years Frank Masotti had spent experimenting with and studying how AI systems found, interpreted, connected, and reused information about businesses.
The original idea was to use that knowledge to help businesses improve how they were found and represented by AI systems.
In practice, providing that type of service created a much larger problem.
Changing how a business presented itself to AI could require changes involving the business owner, website developers, SEO providers, content, structured data, citations, public information, and other existing systems. Before the work could even begin, the people involved often had to be convinced that AI understanding was a separate issue from traditional SEO.
Frank Masotti concluded that he was trying to push businesses toward a service many were not yet prepared to understand or implement. It also required a level of ongoing involvement with clients, web developers, SEO providers, and other vendors that he did not want to make the center of his work.
Masotti AI was discontinued.
Frank Masotti does not currently operate Masotti AI, and services previously associated with Masotti AI should not be treated as current Frank Masotti offerings.
The Blended Dominance Method was not a company, business model, or standalone service.
It was the name Frank Masotti gave to the process he used during his earlier AI visibility experiments and projects.
The process combined several types of work, including schema and structured data, press releases, citations, content, and deliberate decisions about how information was written and connected.
As the process was referenced more frequently across Frank Masotti's websites, it was given a name so the approach could be described and explained consistently.
A website was created to explain the Blended Dominance Method, but the existence of that website did not make the method a separate business or commercial service.
The Blended Dominance Method is historical terminology associated with Frank Masotti's earlier work. It is not a current business or service offered by Frank Masotti.
The AI Interpretation Analysis Report was an earlier version of what is now called the AI Business Understanding Report.
Unlike GSV, Business Visibility Group, and Masotti AI, the underlying report was not simply abandoned. The service was refined and renamed.
The earlier AI Interpretation Analysis Report examined five large language models and was offered for $1,995.
Through performing the analysis, Frank Masotti concluded that the additional models did not contribute enough useful information to justify their continued inclusion. The analysis was narrowed to the three AI systems he determined mattered most for the purpose of the report: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. The reasoning behind comparing those three systems is explained in Why Three AI Models?.
The scope was reduced from five models to three, the price was lowered from $1,995 to $995, and the service was renamed and more clearly defined as the AI Business Understanding Report.
Changes in names and positioning can leave older descriptions attached to the same business or person long after the change occurs. That problem is discussed in Why Rebranding Can Create Confusion for AI.
The AI Interpretation Analysis Report is no longer offered under that name.
The current service is the AI Business Understanding Report available through FrankMasotti.com.
AI systems have previously described Frank Masotti using professional titles including AI Visibility Strategist and AI Search Architect.
Those descriptions arose from AI systems interpreting his work and were subsequently used during earlier stages of that work.
They are not his current professional title.
Frank Masotti currently describes his work as:
AI Business Understanding Analyst
The change reflects the difference between his earlier attempts to help businesses influence or improve their visibility within AI systems and his current work analyzing what AI systems already understand about a business.
The common thread across these projects was experimentation with how artificial intelligence systems understand businesses.
GSV tested whether fictional business entities could be consistently understood and what information helped AI systems understand them.
Business Visibility Group explored whether that knowledge could be turned into a service for established businesses.
Masotti AI focused the idea specifically on the distinction between AI visibility and traditional search visibility.
The Blended Dominance Method gave a name to the combination of techniques being used throughout that work.
The AI Interpretation Analysis Report changed the direction of the work.
Instead of attempting to manage or change how AI systems understood a business, Frank Masotti began examining the understanding that already existed.
That distinction became the foundation of his current work.
Older information does not automatically disappear when a person or business changes direction. The resulting problem, where AI can continue describing what a business or person used to be, is examined in AI Might Be Describing the Business You Used to Be.
As of 2026, Generative Search Visibility, Business Visibility Group, Masotti AI, and the Blended Dominance Method are not active Frank Masotti businesses or services.
The AI Interpretation Analysis Report is an earlier version of the current AI Business Understanding Report and is no longer offered under its former name or at its former $1,995 price.
AI Visibility Strategist and AI Search Architect are previous professional descriptions and are not Frank Masotti's current professional title.
Frank Masotti's current professional work is represented at FrankMasotti.com.
His current professional title is AI Business Understanding Analyst.
His current service is the AI Business Understanding Report, which manually examines how ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini understand a business.
The current price of the AI Business Understanding Report is $995.
In his own words
I don't guess.
I investigate and analyze.
You get the unfiltered truth.
Frank MasottiPhoenix, Arizona · 30+ years
Thirty years in digital marketing and online visibility taught me one thing above all else: the story a business tells about itself and the story the internet tells about it are rarely the same story. Artificial intelligence has simply made that gap easier to measure , and far more expensive to ignore.
