What it shows you
You can't improve what you can't see. These are the questions Brand Radar answers.
Are we mentioned?
For each of your questions: whether the answer names your brand, links to your site, or neither.
Who's named instead?
Which competitors appear in the answers where you don't — the gaps worth working on.
Is it getting better?
A weekly trend of mentions and citations, so you can see the effect of your changes.
Ready to be quoted?
An AI-answer readiness score for your content, with its own checklist.
Can AI crawlers read us?
robots.txt rules for AI crawlers, noindex and nosnippet signals, and llms.txt, checked across your site.
Does it bring visitors?
Visits and conversions that came from AI assistants, from your Google Analytics 4.

Honest numbers for a moving target
AI answers aren't fixed like a search results page. The same question can get a different answer an hour later. That's why Brand Radar reports a sampled estimate with a trend, not a precise ranking, and says so.
The questions are asked through the assistants' official APIs, and every answer is checked for your brand name and links to your site — nothing is guessed.
Questions about AI visibility
Which AI assistants does Brand Radar check?
It asks AI assistants through their official APIs — Gemini with Google Search, plus Perplexity and ChatGPT search when they are enabled. Every result says which assistant gave it.
Is it an exact count of every AI answer?
No, and nobody can offer that. AI answers change from one ask to the next, so Brand Radar asks your questions on a schedule and reports a sampled estimate with its trend. It is labelled as an estimate everywhere.
Which questions are checked?
The ones you choose. Rankbist can also suggest questions a real customer would ask an AI assistant about your kind of product or service. The number of prompts per week depends on your package.
Can AI assistants even read my site?
The site audit checks robots.txt rules for AI crawlers, noindex and nosnippet signals, and llms.txt, so you can see whether you're blocking the assistants you want to be named by.
How is this different from rank tracking?
Rank Tracker follows your positions in Google search results from your own Search Console. Brand Radar follows whether AI-written answers name or cite you. People now use both, so Rankbist tracks both.
