# SearchMaxx > SearchMaxx is a done-for-you marketing service that gets software companies named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google which product to use. Every day we ship one change to the client's website as a GitHub pull request, a person checks each one, and every Monday the client gets a report with Google Search Console numbers and how often each AI engine named them. - Founder: Roshan. He took an open-source AI company from 515 to 2,573 Google clicks a day in 12 weeks (February 9 to May 4, 2026); 66% of those clicks came from searches without the brand name. - Pricing, every plan includes the same work: $1,000 per month, cancel any time; $2,777 once for a 12-week activation (84 changes, guaranteed: if fewer than 84 are sent for approval by the end of week 12, $33 is refunded for each missing change); or $10,000 per year. No setup fee. - How to start: run the free site check, then email hi@searchmaxx.link with your website and the question your buyers ask AI. We reply the same day.
