  • The value leaves out renewals

    A patent client pays annuity and renewal fees for years. Only the first year is in the value.

  • The value leaves out open requests

    14 qualified requests were still open on day 90.

  • The value leaves out branded search

    A client who saw the firm in an answer and then searched its name lands in GA4 as Organic Search.

“Founders used to find us through referrals and Google. Now they ask ChatGPT, and ChatGPT names us first. FullReach AI showed us what to fix and in which order. The first new client paid for the whole pilot.”
