Why Professionals Choose Ghostart Over Lex
A strategy, not guesswork
The topics AI should cite you for, built from your real business
Measured visibility
Which topics ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity cite you for — with new topics as gaps close
Your voice
Drafts arrive in your voice, with the Beige-ometer™ catching the generic phrasing AI skips
They make publishing easier — and sameness worse.
Volume was never the hard part. Being worth citing is. Tools that make everything sound the same solve the wrong half of the job — AI platforms increasingly skip content that reads like everyone else.
The Beige-ometer scores every draft on the things that get content picked up: a real claim, specifics, a human voice.
