Brand Intelligence
Your facts, as AI tells them.
AI reads your directories, listings and old pages — not just your website. If those disagree, AI can give out the wrong number, an old name or even tell shoppers you’re closed.
Mention & citation testing
Does AI mention you, recommend you and cite your own website — or skip you entirely?
Name, address & phone check
Your details side by side across every listing AI reads, with each mismatch flagged.
Answer accuracy grading
Every answer graded accurate, outdated, fabricated or not cited.
An old name, still answering
In one audit, a directory profile under a previous owner’s name — marked out of business, yet linking to the dealer’s current site — surfaced in 6 of 18 AI answers.

Competitive Intelligence
See who’s winning the answer.
Our AI Competitor Citation Intelligence Report shows whether AI platforms recognize, recommend and cite you versus your local and national competitors — and why.
Case study
Great reviews. Still ranked #3.
A franchise dealer had the biggest review base in its market. Scored against its three nearest rivals on how likely AI is to recommend them, it came third — old listings, a weak trust grade and rivals targeting its own town held it back.
Projected after two fixes: 60 → 69, first place if rivals hold steady.

Even ChatGPT has a citation gap.
In September 2026 we ran our AI Competitor Citation Intelligence Report on OpenAI, benchmarked against Claude, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot. ChatGPT leads on scale, yet scored 68 out of 100 on the trust and citation signals that decide which platform AI recommends.

If the world’s best-known AI brand can lose recommendation moments, so can yours. The same report is available for your company.
Questions, answered.
What is brand intelligence for AI search?
It’s a check of how AI platforms describe your business — your name, location, hours, phone and services — and whether those facts are accurate and consistent with your website.
How do you know which competitors AI recommends?
We run real customer questions across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity and record every business each platform names and cites.
Is this included in the AI Visibility Audit?
Core brand and competitor checks are part of every AI Visibility Audit. The Competitor Citation Intelligence Report goes deeper for businesses that want a full competitive picture.
