Comparison

Asked vs Asking ChatGPT directly

ChatGPT itself can describe the methodology to rank in AI assistants if you ask it well - so why pay £99 for a workbook?

We will be honest. Both tools exist for different reasons. Here is who each is actually better for, plus a side-by-side breakdown so you can pick without buyer's remorse.

Pick Asked if

  • Owners who want a deliverable, not advice - with their actual business name, real review counts, exact directory list and pre-filled JSON-LD ready to paste
  • Owners who want sequencing, time estimates and a 14-day calendar - things ChatGPT will not give you reliably
  • Owners who want the £499 done-for-you path with a money-back guarantee tied to a measurable outcome

Pick Asking ChatGPT directly if

  • Owners with full-time SEO bandwidth, willing to spend 30-50 hours assembling, sequencing, prompting, and customising
  • SEO professionals who already know the methodology and just need to verify specific details
  • Anyone who finds genuine pleasure in building their own playbook from scratch
