When someone asks an AI about you, they should hear **your** story — clearly, consistently, and up-to-date. **Floodgate** makes that happen. We don’t promise you’ll be _found_ — we ensure that _when you are found_, the answer is accurate, current, and on-brand. ## What Floodgate Is Floodgate is a **simple, self-serve layer** that lets you publish an AI-readable “source of truth” for your company — **on your own domain**. Recognized AI agents (like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, and Gemini) receive your curated brand context, while humans and traditional crawlers still see your existing website. ✅ No redesign ✅ No CMS migration ✅ No disruption ### What Floodgate Is _Not_ * **Not SEO.** SEO helps you get discovered. Floodgate controls what’s said once you are. * **Not a rebuild.** Your site, tech stack, and analytics stay exactly as they are. * **Not model training.** We don’t fine-tune LLMs — we simply make sure they have your official facts. ## How It Works — In Three Steps 1. **Sign up** at [tryfloodgate.com](https://tryfloodgate.com) 2. **Craft your context.** Add the narrative and facts AI must get right (pricing, policies, positioning, story). 3. **Go live.** Connect your domain — a one-time DNS update. From then on, AI agents see your curated truth; everyone else sees your current website. Prefer to test first? Use a safe staging subdomain before publishing. You can switch it off anytime — **you retain full DNS control.** ### Under the Hood (Plain-English View) * **Agent-aware routing.** Floodgate identifies AI agents and serves them your curated context, while all other traffic passes through untouched. * **AI-readable mapping.** Using an `llms.txt` file (like `robots.txt` or `sitemap.xml`), Floodgate tells AI systems where to find your official brand truth. ## Why Businesses Need This Now * **AI is the new front door.** Most research, recommendations, and product questions now start in AI chat or search. * **Brand sovereignty.** Without your input, algorithms write your story for you. Floodgate puts you back in charge. * **Trust and conversion.** Correct, on-brand answers reduce confusion and build confidence. * **Speed and control.** Edit one line — and every recognized AI gets the update immediately. * **Risk protection.** In regulated or reputation-sensitive industries, accuracy isn’t optional — it’s compliance. ## The Before / After Moment * **Before:** AI misquotes your pricing, blurs your positioning, or omits key details. * **After:** The same prompt returns precise, brand-approved answers — directly from your official context. This simple “Aha!” test — before and after Floodgate — is how we prove the product works. ## Pricing **€40/month per site — cancel any time.** No contracts. No hidden fees. No risk. ## Security, Safety, and Trust Floodgate is built to be **super safe**, **fully transparent**, and **reversible at any time**. Your website remains exactly as it is — no interference with design, SEO, or analytics. ### Architecture Built for Safety * **Pass-through by default.** Humans and classic crawlers still see your existing site. * **Your domain, your control.** You own DNS. Turn Floodgate on or off whenever you like. * **No redesign or migration.** We don’t touch your CMS, hosting, or code. * **Staging first.** Validate everything on a subdomain before going live. ### Data Handling You Can Trust * **You decide what’s shared.** Only the content you upload is available to AI agents. * **We don’t sell data.** Your content remains 100% yours. * **Encrypted in transit.** All traffic is protected via HTTPS/TLS. * **No tracking scripts.** No cookies, no hidden analytics, no injected code. ### Operational Safeguards * **Instant updates.** Change your context — AI sees it immediately. * **Zero lock-in.** Turn it off anytime and your website continues as before. * **Fail-safe design.** If Floodgate is disabled, your website remains the default system of record. ### In Practice Your SEO remains intact. Your CMS stays untouched. Your analytics still work. Floodgate simply adds an **AI-specific layer of truth** — no disruption, just clarity. ## Who Floodgate Is For * **Digitally active SMEs and mid-market teams** who want accurate, on-brand AI answers. * **Regulated or reputation-sensitive firms** (finance, healthcare, education, legal) where precision matters. * **Agencies and marketers** looking for a new, low-touch service to offer clients. ## Why This Is Transformative Your website is a **shop window** — but AI needs the **warehouse**. Floodgate gives you a secure, dedicated space to host all the details AI can’t see — pricing tables, specifications, brand guidelines, and policies — without cluttering your website. When customers ask AI about you, the answer comes from your brand’s own narrative — not from scraped guesses. ## Confidence Checklist ✅ Humans and crawlers still see your site as usual ✅ AI agents get your approved context ✅ DNS stays under your control — revert anytime ✅ No code changes, no CMS migration ✅ Encrypted, HTTPS everywhere ✅ Data never sold or shared ✅ Full staging environment before go-live ✅ €40/month, cancel anytime — no lock-in ## Addressing Common Concerns ### 1\. Will AI actually use my “official context”? AI agents use Floodgate’s content when fetching data from your domain. We can’t force every model to use it — but we can **maximize the likelihood and accuracy** by making your brand the most credible, machine-readable source on your site. ### 2\. Is there proof Floodgate works? Yes — see it yourself. Run a “before and after” prompt test. You’ll immediately see how AI output changes once Floodgate is active. ### 3\. What if Floodgate goes down or changes terms? Your DNS remains yours. If Floodgate stops, traffic simply routes back to your original site — **instantly**. No lock-in. ### 4\. Will this hurt SEO? Not at all. Floodgate doesn’t touch your visible website or search performance. Humans and crawlers see your site exactly as before. ### 5\. How transparent is it? Completely. Floodgate’s routing layer only serves curated content to recognized AI agents. All others pass straight through. You can disable it any time. ## FAQs **Will this affect our analytics or ranking?** No — your website continues as normal. **Can you guarantee AI will always show our content?** No one can.
