Portfolio KPIs
Four metrics — Active Projects, Queries Tracked, Competitors Tracked, and Providers Monitored — show the scope of your monitoring at a glance. If Queries Tracked is near your plan limit, that's your signal to upgrade or prune.

table_rows
Projects table
Every project is listed with its current status, brand citation count, visibility grade (A–F, see Analytics), and query count. Click any row to jump straight to that project's Analytics drill-down.
calendar_today
Weekly Rollup
A rolling four-week feed of brand citations, queries run, and week-over-week deltas across all projects. The current week is marked in-progress so you don't mistake partial data for a trend.
monitoring
Analytics
Analytics is the per-project drill-down. Select a project from the top-bar picker to see how your brand is performing in AI responses week by week, how you compare to competitors, and which providers are citing you most. A queryhere is the prompt submitted to each answer engine — for example, “best project management tool for startups.”

visibility
AI Visibility
A weighted score (0–100%) measuring how prominently your brand appears across AI responses to your tracked queries. The A–F grade surfaces the same signal faster — useful for client reporting.
pie_chart
Share of Voice
Your brand citations as a percentage of all citations returned across your queries. Shows what share of all citations in your query set belong to your brand, not competitors.
show_chart
Brand Visibility chart
A weekly chart of your visibility score with a competitor reference line. Use it to see whether your content changes are moving the needle — and whether competitors are pulling ahead.
calendar_view_week
Week Range Picker
Choose from presets — 4 weeks, 6 weeks, quarter (13), half-year (26) — or click any two weeks for a custom range.

Provider Breakdown
See which providers — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity — are citing your brand and at what rate. If one provider consistently skips you, that's a targeting signal for your content and schema work.
format_quote
Query Explorer
Inspect individual queries to see which sources the AI cited, their sentiment, page position, and schema coverage. Filter by category or citation status to find the queries where you're absent or underperforming.
compare_arrows
Share of Voice table
A ranked table of every domain cited across your query set, with your brand highlighted. The three columns — citation count, query coverage, and provider spread — tell you where competitors are out-citing you and on which providers.
warning
Risk Assessment
Flags queries where competitors are cited but you're not, SERP vs. answer engine divergence (if your page ranks on Google but gets skipped by AI, that's a content structure problem), and content gaps — each with a one-click fix suggestion: a schema addition, content rewrite, or FAQ entry to target the gap.
fact_check
Site Audit
Site Audit crawls your brand domain and evaluates it against the factors that determine whether AI answer engines can find, parse, and cite your content. Run a scan on demand after making changes, or let it run on its weekly automatic schedule.

Crawlability Score
Measures how accessible your site is to AI crawlers — checking robots.txt, sitemap validity, HTTP status codes, redirect chains, and JavaScript rendering (relevant if your content is client-side rendered). Graded A–F.

AEO Readiness Score
A composite score (0–100%) built from four pillars: schema markup coverage, content structure (clear headings, sourced claims, FAQ formatting), entity and brand clarity, and crawlability. Tells you how ready your site is to be cited.
flag
Issue Queue
Every detected issue is tagged by severity (Critical / Warning / Info) and category (Schema, Citations, Crawl, Content). Issues are ranked by their estimated impact on citation likelihood.
data_object
Schema coverage
Checks for FAQ, HowTo, Article, and SoftwareApplication schema on relevant pages. Missing or misconfigured schema is one of the most common reasons AI skips a page.

Projects
A project is one domain you monitor. Each project has its own set of tracked queries, providers, and schedule. You can have multiple projects — one per brand, product line, or client — and compare them from the Overview. A queryis the prompt submitted to each answer engine — for example, “best CRM for mid-market sales teams.” Your plan limit applies to unique tracked queries, not the number of times they're run.

Create a project
Name the project, enter your brand domain (e.g. yourcompany.com), and add the queries you want to track. You can type queries manually or pick from a catalog of common prompts — useful if you're not sure where to start.
schedule
Scheduled runs
Each project runs automatically on a weekly schedule. Multiple runs within a week are aggregated into a single weekly data point — so your trend charts stay stable and aren't distorted by individual runs.
play_arrow
Run on demand
Trigger an immediate run from the project detail page at any time. Useful after making site changes you want to measure quickly.
groups
Competitor tracking
Add competitor domains to any project. Their citation rates appear alongside yours in Analytics and are used to compute your Share of Voice ranking.
