### Your score + what to do next

One number (0-100) shows your visibility. Prioritized actions tell you exactly what to improve and why.

## The only tool that fixes your AI visibility, not just reports it

Most tools hand you a dashboard. SurfacedBy does the content, replies, and outreach to close the gaps, then proves the revenue it moved.

-   **Measure where you stand**Track where your brand shows up, where competitors win, and how your AI visibility moves over time.
    
-   **Diagnose what shapes the answer**See which sources, pages, competitors, and missing evidence shape what AI says about you.
    
-   **Act on the gaps**Get content briefs, community replies, and outreach drafted straight from the gaps. Approve what you want to ship.
    
-   **Re-measure the lift**Re-check the same prompts after you publish, and see what moved in visibility, citations, traffic, or conversions.
    

## Measurement and action, not two tools

Most teams stitch a tracker to a content tool. Here both live together, with proof built in.

### AI Visibility Score

One number (0-100) showing how often AI recommends your brand. Track trends over time and see exactly what drives improvement.

### Citation Tracking

See the exact pages AI pulls to mention you, classified by type: Reddit threads, review sites, best-of listicles, docs. It is rarely your own money page, so you learn where the work actually is.

### Market Position

See your competitive rank when AI recommends brands like yours, and how it moves against your tracked competitors across every platform over time.

### Read the Real AI Responses

Browse the actual answers AI platforms give about your brand. See citations, mentions, and competitor framing word for word.

### Brand Themes with Sentiment

Every time AI mentions your brand in a cited source, we classify how it describes you: positive, neutral, or negative, across the themes (price, support, speed, quality) you care about. See context, score, and which pages drive the mentions.

### AI Content Readiness

Every scan audits up to 250 of your pages and scores how ready each one is for AI to understand and cite. Specific fixes included.

## Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from traditional SEO tools?

Traditional SEO tools track Google rankings. SurfacedBy tracks whether AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity recommend your brand when people ask for options like yours, shows you why, and then does the work to fix it: content, community replies, and publisher outreach, all with your approval.

Which AI engines do you track?

We track ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode. Each platform is queried with auto-discovered prompts that reflect what your customers actually ask. Starter covers ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity; Professional and Agency add Claude and Google AI Mode, and also detect when your brand appears inside the Google AI Overview answer box on regular Google search.

Can I actually improve how AI recommends my brand?

Yes. AI pulls from specific, identifiable sources: reviews, documentation, trusted publications, community threads, and videos. We do not just point you at them, we draft the content, community replies, and publisher outreach to get you into those sources, then re-measure whether it moved your visibility. You approve every move.

Does SurfacedBy just monitor, or can it help me act?

Both. Professional and Agency turn findings into action: content briefs and drafts that close citation gaps, ready to publish straight to WordPress or Shopify; human-approved replies in the AI-cited conversations on Reddit, X, and LinkedIn where competitors appear and you do not; and outreach to the publishers AI cites. Nothing is auto-published, you approve everything, and the Content Impact Loop then re-measures whether published work moved your visibility (AI platforms usually take a few weeks to reflect new content).

How polished are the AI drafts? Do I have to edit them?

Treat them as strong first drafts, not finished copy. Every content draft, community reply, and outreach pitch opens in an editor and is sent only when you approve it, so expect to make edits. Those edits are not wasted: the drafts learn your voice over time, picking up the wording and tone you keep changing so each round needs less of them. You stay in control of every word.

What do I get with the free audit?

We run 10 prompts on each of 3 AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini) and show you: your AI Visibility Score, which platforms mention your brand, how you compare to competitors, and your top actions to improve. Takes about 5 minutes, no credit card required.

How quickly will I see results?

Your first report is ready in under 5 minutes. On a paid plan, you get Daily Check and Full Check analysis. You'll know within 24 hours when your visibility changes on any platform.

Do you store my business data?

We only monitor publicly available information: what AI engines say about your brand when customers ask for recommendations. Your proprietary business data never leaves your systems.

How does competitor tracking work?

We automatically discover your top competitors from real AI responses and track their visibility scores alongside yours. Compare your performance across every platform and get specific strategies to strengthen your position.

Can I track AI visibility per country?

Yes. Each prompt can target a specific country, and results are tracked separately per market. We cover 12 today: US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Brazil, Japan, and Mexico. More on request.

Can my team work in SurfacedBy together?

Yes. Every paid plan includes workspaces with role-based access (owner, admin, editor, viewer) and email invites. Agencies can keep each client in a separate workspace with its own billing, members, and data.

Can I see AI traffic landing on my own site?

Yes, on any platform. Drop our one-line script tag onto your site (or use the SurfacedBy WordPress plugin if you're on WP) to detect visits arriving from known AI assistants, see what those visits were citing, and how that traffic converts. Some AI tools strip the referrer header, so this captures detected AI referrals rather than every AI visit; pair it with the Google Analytics 4 integration to cross-reference revenue attribution.

How does the free trial work?

You can start a trial from any plan, but trial access uses Starter-level limits: 1 domain, 15 prompts per check, core AI platforms, and Daily Check. You can also start on a paid plan directly without a trial.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from your account settings. Changes are prorated automatically.
