## What a /gtm run covers

- Intake. Reads your site and drafts your brief.
- Ideal customer. Your ideal customer and lookalike companies.
- Accounts. Companies that fit, graded A to D.
- People. The buyers at each account, by title.
- Work emails. Their work emails, each one verified.
- Signals. Hiring, funding and news, dated and scored.
- Competitors. One sourced card per competitor.
- Ads. The ads you and your rivals run.
- Search + AI. Keyword gaps, Google ranks and AI answers.
- Reviews. Review themes and rival weak spots.
- Mentions. Recent posts that show buying intent.
- Market. Traffic, funding and hiring per rival.
- Local. Your rank and rating in local search.
- Commerce. Amazon price, rating and reviews per listing.
- Summary. Hot accounts, open ad angles, rival gaps.

## Run it on your domain

Type /gtm yourdomain.com in your agent. It reads 4 pages of your site for free, shows you the price, waits for your yes, then runs inside one limit.

## What do I give it?

One domain. It reads 4 pages of your site and drafts the brief. You can fix the brief before anything paid runs.

## Does it send emails or run ads for me?

No. It writes research and copy. You check each one, then you send the emails and run the ads yourself.

## How do I know what it will cost?

It prints the quote before any paid call: calls per module, the expected cost, the worst case and a suggested limit. Prices come from the looot catalog at that moment. The calls on this page are one real example.

## Can it spend more than I agreed?

It holds the most each call can cost before making it. It skips any call that could take the run past your limit. When it reaches the limit, it stops and keeps what it found.

## What if a provider finds nothing?

A miss is a normal answer and stays in the dossier as a row. Some providers bill a not found. The receipt shows the real charge on every row.

## Which tools can I load the lists into?

It writes CSV files ready for Instantly, HubSpot and Attio, with verified emails only. A plain CSV works with anything else.

## Can I see it without a key?

Yes. Demo mode writes a full dossier from made up data. No key, no network and no charge.

## Can I share the dossier?

Yes. The public export swaps your domain, your rivals and every person for stand ins. Then it searches the files for every original name. If one is left, it deletes the copy and tells you which.

## Which agents does it work in?

Claude Code, Codex and Cursor through the /gtm skill, or any terminal on its own.

## Can I run it every week?

Yes. Each run compares itself with the last one and writes what changed: new accounts, rival changes, rank moves, new signals and ad changes.
