What this audit checks

Determines your presence across AI answer engines for decision-stage questions, capturing citation rate, sentiment, positioning and share of voice against competitors.

Presence and citation

  • Test decision-stage questions across the major AI assistants

  • Identify high-value questions where the brand is entirely absent

Quality of mention

  • Check the position and prominence of the brand within the answer
  • Confirm the facts AI states about the brand are accurate

Competitive share

  • Record which competitors are recommended for the same questions
  • Calculate your share of voice against the competitive set
  • Identify questions competitors own that you should contest

Source attribution

  • Identify which pages or third-party sources AI cites for your topics
