AI visibility platform to get your brand cited in AI search
Run the prompts your buyers ask across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and AI Overviews, and see a visibility score, mention rate, and average position by brand, topic, and model.
See every domain and URL the AI answers cite, how often they appear, and whether they mention your brand, so you can target the sources that actually shape answers.
Draft and optimize articles in a guided editor built to earn citations in AI answers and rankings in Google, with content audit and topical map support.
Find the questions your audience asks AI and Google, and spot weak pages and content gaps worth fixing or rebuilding.

One API key for agent-grade web search, fetch, browsing and automation
Real browser-rendered search that returns structured JSON with fresh, uncached results from the live web, with no search fee.
Convert any URL into token-efficient Markdown, JSON or HTML, stripping navigation bars, cookie banners and ads before they reach your model.
Full cloud browser sessions with persistent state that you drive with Playwright, Puppeteer or the Chrome DevTools Protocol.
Give an agent a goal in plain English and it navigates, fills forms and returns structured results; monitoring fires alerts when a tracked page or topic changes.
