# BigSearch AI

> We organize the world's intelligence.

BigSearch AI (bigsearchai.com) is the AI Search Engine — the first search platform that queries multiple leading AI models simultaneously and synthesizes their responses into a single authoritative answer. Where Google organized the world's information, BigSearch organizes the world's intelligence.

## What BigSearch Does

BigSearch queries Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity simultaneously for any search query. It deduplicates citations across models, identifies consensus and conflicts, and synthesizes one authoritative answer attributed to all contributing models. Results include web sources ranked by how many AI models cited them — the AI equivalent of PageRank.

## Core Products

- **BigSearch** — The AI Search Engine. One prompt searches all major AI models. Results are synthesized, ranked by cross-model citation frequency, and displayed with full source attribution.
- **Alpha Pages** — AI-native business profiles at alphapage.ai. Structured entity pages with JSON-LD, llms.txt, MCP endpoints, and OpenAPI specs that make any business visible to AI search.
- **Alpha Score** — A 0–100 AI visibility metric measuring how consistently an entity is cited, described accurately, and surfaced across major AI models. The PageRank equivalent for AI search.

## Why BigSearch Exists

AI models were living in silos. Users were manually switching between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok to compare answers. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) professionals had no infrastructure — no leaderboard, no rank signal, no source of truth. Most were applying SEO strategies to an AI problem, which increased unstructured search demand without improving visibility.

BigSearch built the infrastructure GEO/AEO was missing: a live leaderboard showing what every major AI model knows about every entity on earth, scored, ranked, and updated continuously.

## The Alpha Score System

The Alpha Score (0–100) measures AI visibility across six dimensions:
1. Citation frequency across AI models
2. Accuracy and consistency of AI-generated descriptions  
3. Structured data completeness (JSON-LD, schema.org)
4. llms.txt presence and quality
5. MCP endpoint availability
6. Cross-platform presence (official site, Wikipedia, review platforms)

Businesses without an Alpha Page are capped at 50/100. Alpha Pages unlock the full score range and hero carousel placement in BigSearch results.

## Card Tiers in BigSearch Results

- **Unclaimed** — Standard small card, no badge, "Claim this page" CTA
- **Basic Alpha Page** — Small card with α badge, elevated treatment
- **Pro Alpha Page (score 70+)** — Hero carousel card with image, order button, menu, full entity data
