AI monitoring · always on

AI is answering for your brand. We read every answer.

AI brand mention monitoring is a weekly, evidenced record of what the assistants say about you: whether you get named, how you get described, which sources they quote, and where a competitor has taken your place. Captured, dated and explained, with an alert the day it changes.

Scored one by one, never averaged into a number that hides the bad one.

Sample report. The brand, the figures and the findings are illustrative — your own report carries your prompt set, your competitors and the answers captured for you.

Why it needs watching

An audit is a photograph. This is the film.

S-01 · diagnosis

A photograph, not the film

A one-off audit tells you where you stand today. It cannot tell you the week a competitor's new page pushes you out of the answer.

How monitoring catches itWeekly re-capture
What you getThe same prompt set, run on the same day each week

What we track

Five signals, re-measured every week

All five signals are captured per assistant, so you can see that your framing is fine in Gemini and wrong in Copilot rather than averaging the two into a number that hides both.

  1. 01

    Mention frequency

    How often you are named across a fixed prompt set, tracked as a line over time rather than a single number — so a slide shows up as a trend, not a surprise.

  2. 02

    Framing and sentiment

    The adjectives the models attach to you — premium or cheap, specialist or generalist, reliable or unproven — and which source taught them that.

  3. 03

    Factual accuracy

    Every claim checked against the truth: locations, pricing, services, ownership, credentials. Errors are traced back to the page teaching them.

  4. 04

    Cited sources

    Which URLs the answer is built from — yours, a competitor's, a directory, a forum thread — and when that set changes underneath you.

  5. 05

    Competitive share

    Your share of named recommendations against the same competitor set each week, so movement is comparable and not re-baselined to flatter anyone.

Alerting

We contact you for four things, and nothing else

Monitoring that emails you daily gets muted in a fortnight. These thresholds are agreed with you at setup and tuned after the first month.

  • Critical

    A false or damaging claim appears

    Wrong pricing, a service you don't offer, a legal or safety implication, or a confusion with another company. We send the captured answer, the cited source and a recommended correction path.

    You hearWithin 24 hoursPhone or Slack, not email
  • High

    You disappear from a prompt you held

    A prompt that named you last week no longer does. We identify what replaced you and whether it is a new competitor page, a new cited source or a model change.

    You hearSame weekWith the diagnosis attached
  • Watch

    Your framing shifts

    The language used about you moves in a direction you would not choose. Usually traceable to one review, one article or one outdated page — and usually fixable at the source.

    You hearWeekly digestEscalated if it persists
  • Win

    You gain ground worth repeating

    A page of yours becomes the cited source, or you enter a prompt set you were absent from. Worth knowing, because it tells you which work is paying and should be repeated.

    You hearWeekly digestWith the cause identified

Platforms monitored

Eight assistants. They do not agree about you.

Each one is prompted, captured and scored separately every week, because a brand can be the default answer in one and invisible in another.

  • ChatGPTBrowsing & non-browsing

    The highest-volume assistant, and the one most buyers mean when they say “I asked AI”.

  • ClaudeWith web search

    Heavily used inside businesses, which makes it disproportionately important for B2B shortlists.

  • GeminiApp & in-Search

    Where Google's own properties and your structured data carry unusual weight in who gets named.

  • PerplexityCitations logged

    The most source-transparent surface, and the fastest read on which pages decide your category.

  • Google AI OverviewsPanel & AI Mode

    Seen by people who never opened an AI app at all, the largest passive audience of the eight.

  • Microsoft CopilotCitations logged

    Bing-fed and built into Windows and Office, which matters more in enterprise research than its share suggests.

  • GrokSocial-weighted

    Leans on live social conversation, so it surfaces reputation problems before the other seven do.

  • Meta AIConsumer & local

    Inside WhatsApp and Instagram, where consumer and local-service questions actually get asked.

DeepSeek, Mistral's Le Chat and any regional assistant your buyers use can be added to the same prompt set on request. All platform names and logos are the property of their respective owners and appear here only to identify the surfaces monitored.

What lands, and when

No dashboard nobody logs into. Everything arrives where your team already works.

  • As it happensCritical alerts

    Slack, Teams or phone. Captured answer, cited source, recommended action — no dashboard login required.

  • WeeklyThe digest

    One page: what changed, what caused it, what we are doing about it. Readable in two minutes by someone who is not a marketer.

  • MonthlyTrend report

    Mention share, framing and competitive position plotted over time — same prompt set, same competitors, every month.

  • QuarterlyReview & re-scope

    A live session: what moved, what the prompt set should become next quarter, and which corrections are still open on your side.

When something is wrong

You cannot edit the model. You can change what it reads.

Every correction works the same way: find the source the answer was built on, then change it or outweigh it.

  1. 01

    Find the source

    Identify the page teaching the claim — a directory entry, an old review, a stale press release, or one of your own forgotten pages.

  2. 02

    Fix what you own

    Update the page, its schema and your business profiles, so the accurate version is the freshest and best-structured one available.

  3. 03

    Outweigh what you don't

    Request corrections from third-party sites; where that fails, publish and earn coverage strong enough to outweigh the bad source.

  4. 04

    Re-run until it moves

    The prompt goes on a watchlist and is re-run weekly until the answer changes — and you are told either way, including when it does not.

Corrections are not instant. Models re-read the web on their own schedule, so a fixed source typically takes weeks to show up in answers. We report the fix date and the date the answer actually changed, separately — nobody gets to claim credit for a change that never happened.

Scoping

Three levels, priced on your prompt set

Cost follows prompt volume, assistant count and how many markets and languages you sell in. Fixed monthly fee, quoted before anything starts.

Straight answers

Before you ask us

Answer

Can't we just check this ourselves?

You can, and you should occasionally. What is hard to do yourself is consistency: the same prompts, the same accounts, the same wording, captured on the same day each week across eight assistants, without your own logged-in history skewing the answers. Ad-hoc checks tell you what one person saw once; monitoring tells you what changed.

Ask us something harder

Find out what they are saying this week.

Send your brand name, your category and one competitor. We will run a free sample across four assistants and send back the captured answers — including anything factually wrong — before you decide whether to monitor at all.

Monitoring runs month to month with 30 days' notice. No annual lock-in, because a service you would leave in month three should not be able to hold you for twelve.
