Measured every week, with its margin
We ask your buyers' questions to each AI three times a week and show how often you appear, with a confidence range rather than a single position, and who gets cited when you don't.

Why weekly, not daily
Every week we ask each question 3 times to each AI in your plan.
A single daily answer swings a lot from one day to the next; several weekly samples give a more reliable figure.
- Starter: 3 answers from each of its 5 AI engines every week, about 65 answers per question a month (±10 points).
- Growth: 3 answers from each of its 5 AI engines every week, about 65 answers per question a month (±10 points).
- Business: 3 answers from each of its 6 AI engines every week (Claude: 1), about 69 answers per question a month (±10 points).
Answers a month = samples × AI engines × 4.3 weeks in an average month. The margin is the 90% confidence range (Wilson) in the worst case, a 50% rate; every figure in the app shows its own range.
