Getting started

Three steps to your first useful measurement

01

Request a project quote

Share your brand, website, and measurement goals. We will discuss subscription details and the data connections you need.

02

Set up your project

Once subscribed, add your brand, domains, and competitors, then organize the questions you want to measure by topic.

03

Follow the evidence

The system stores answers, mentions, positions, and sources for comparable trends.

Which decision can the data support?

Marketing and brand leaders

Track how often and in what context your brand gets recommended. Competitor comparisons help you choose focus topics.

SEO and web teams

Connect citations with specific URLs and technical signals to focus investigations of access, indexing, and web presence.

Agencies

Manage measurements by project and prepare client reports covering AI presence, sources, and technical status.

What to know before getting started

What does appearance rate mean?

The share of eligible AI answers that mention your brand at least once. Each answer counts at most once. For Google, only actual AI answers enter the denominator.

Why measure multiple questions repeatedly?

Answers vary by question, platform, and time. A relevant prompt set and repeated measurements provide more context than a single manual search.

Do you need access to my website?

Basic AI visibility measurement does not need an analytics connection. Identifiable visits need GA4; indexing signals need Search Console or Bing Webmaster; bot activity needs a log connection.

Does the service guarantee AI recommendations?

It provides evidence for measurement and investigation. We do not control AI platform answers; a technical score or SEO change alone does not guarantee an appearance.

How can I subscribe, and what does it cost?

Use the form to request a subscription quote. We discuss pricing and terms based on your project, questions, providers, and data connections. Using the service requires a subscription.
