Brand monitoring
AI brand monitoring that tells you where to act
Nobody opens a dashboard every morning, so we watch for you. All six assistants are checked continuously for six kinds of change, from a competitor being recommended in your place to an answer that read your page and named someone else. Each email names the engine, the prompt and the answers behind it, so you know what to look at first.

What we watch for
Six AI brand mention alerts, and what each one means
Not a configurable rule builder. Six findings the product detects, chosen because each one has an obvious next action. Each can be switched off on its own, and a move has to clear a floor you set before it counts.
- Your rate moves.
- A drop or a rise on one engine against the week before. A rise is worth knowing about too, while you can still find out why.
- An engine goes quiet.
- One engine stops naming you altogether while the others carry on.
- A rival pulls ahead.
- A competitor is named more often than you, pooled across engines, by more than the sample can explain.
- Cited, not named.
- An answer used your page as a source and named somebody else.
- Described unfavourably.
- How you are described, not just whether you are mentioned: more warnings than recommendations, in the mentions clear enough to judge.

Email alerts
What we email you about, and how big a change has to be before it counts.
Send me alert emailsOff stops every alert for this brand. Collection carries on either way.
Which findings
- Cited but not namedAn engine read your page and recommended someone else. The finding worth acting on.
- A competitor overtook youSomeone you track passed you on share of voice.
- Your visibility droppedSuppressed automatically when the move is inside its own margin of error.
- Your visibility roseThe same test, upwards.
- Described unfavourablyNamed, but in terms you would not choose.
- An engine stopped naming youWent to zero outright, which is categorical rather than a rate move.
How big a move counts (percentage points)
15A move smaller than this is never reported. On a small plan the statistical noise floor can be higher than your setting, and the higher of the two wins.
Save alertsQuiet by design
AI search monitoring that stays quiet in a quiet week
The failure mode for brand alerts is obvious: detect a drop, email about it every morning until it resolves, and train the recipient to filter your address. So everything found after a run arrives in one email, a second check on the same day sends nothing, and a change inside its own margin of error is never sent at all. A quiet week sends nothing. The same restraint runs through how we report everything else.
- Deduplicated at the database.
- A unique index on workspace, finding type and key. Not a best-effort check in code.
- Email, not another inbox.
- It arrives where you already read things, rather than in a notification centre.
- Off is a real option.
- Disable alerting per workspace and nothing is detected or sent at all.

Evidence attached
Why an alert needs its evidence attached
Assistants regenerate their answers each time they are asked, so movement is normal and some of it is noise. An alert that just says your visibility fell eleven points asks you to trust an aggregate, and the reasonable response to that is to ignore it. So every finding carries the counts behind it, and names the engine, the prompt and the page where there is one. In the dashboard, AI visibility tracking holds the rate that moved and the answers that produced it, and AI citation tracking holds the pages they cited, so you can tell a real shift from a bad week in about ninety seconds.
A competitor finding is pooled across every engine and prompt over the week, and sent only when the gap is bigger than the sample can explain, so a rival pulling ahead means the whole week and not one bad day on one prompt. Where you stand against every competitor you track, all week, is your AI share of voice.
- No invented fixes.
- We name the engine, the prompt and the page. We do not write advice from a day of data.
- No severity theatre.
- Six finding types, and no red, amber and green scoring layered on top.
- Included everywhere.
- On every plan of the AI mention tracking platform at no extra cost, from Solo at $9 a month.

Fabrikam alternatives for a remote team
Claude
Cited, not named. This engine read contoso.com as a source and still didn't name Contoso in the answer. The fix is placement in what it reads, not more of your own content.
Most teams leaving Fabrikam want lighter planning and fewer seats to pay for. The closest like-for-like swaps:
Northwind: the most common pick for remote teams, with async updates and client portals built in.
Tailspin: best if you want docs and tasks in one place, at a lower price per seat.
