# Renownly > Renownly is an AI-visibility service for independent UK accountancy firms. We show you, with dated evidence, whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini and Claude recommend your firm when prospects ask for an accountant, and we give you the plain-English fixes that close the gaps. A full audit is a flat £149, delivered in 48 hours, with no lock-in. Renownly helps accountancy practices answer a question most have never checked: when a prospect asks an AI assistant for "the best accountant for [their need] near [their town]", does the assistant name you, or a competitor down the road? What makes Renownly specific: - Built for UK accountants. We test the queries your clients actually ask (contractors, IR35, landlords, e-commerce, limited-company tax) and the directories AI checks, including ICAEW and ACCA listings. - Evidence-first. We lead with the actual AI answer naming a rival, not a sales pitch. A free Snapshot shows where you stand before you spend anything. - Honest by design. We never guarantee that AI will rank or recommend a firm, the assistants are third-party tools that change without notice. We report current state and best-practice fixes, and we date every result. - Methodical. Every query is run multiple times across multiple sessions, because AI answers vary run to run; we report the consensus and note variance. Pricing: free Snapshot (1–2 queries, no card); £149 flat 48-hour Audit (8 queries across four AI engines, competitor map, foundations check, three prioritised fixes, 20-minute walkthrough); optional done-for-you Fix Sprint and rolling monthly Monitoring. ## Key pages - [Home](https://renownly.co.uk/index.html): What Renownly does, how the audit works, pricing, sample scorecards and FAQ. - [About](https://renownly.co.uk/about.html): Why Renownly exists, what makes it different, how it tests, its honesty stance (never guarantees AI rankings), and who is behind it. - [How it works](https://renownly.co.uk/index.html#how): The Snapshot, the 48-hour Audit, and the three fixes you receive. - [What's in the audit](https://renownly.co.uk/index.html#audit): The deliverable, visibility across all four engines, competitor map, foundations check, prioritised fixes. - [Pricing](https://renownly.co.uk/index.html#pricing): Free Snapshot, £149 Audit, Audit + Fix Sprint, and monthly Monitoring. - [FAQ](https://renownly.co.uk/index.html#faq): Honest answers, including why we never guarantee AI rankings. - [Founding cohort](https://renownly.co.uk/founding-cohort.html): The £99 founding-cohort offer: a small, capped first group of firms who get the full audit at the founding price while places last.
