QUESTIONS

Questions about AI brand rankings.

It measures whether each tracked brand appears in AI answers, its average position when mentioned, mention rate, share of voice, and per-source details for the prompt set.
Start with 10 to 20 buyer prompts for one category. For client reporting, keep the same prompt set and rerun it weekly or monthly so movement is comparable.
Pass your brand and the competitors buyers actually compare you with. Domain names can help with ambiguity, but brand names usually match AI answer text better.
Google rank trackers measure URL positions in search results. /v1/rankings measures brand mentions inside AI answers, where there may be no fixed list of ranked links.
Yes. Pass "models" to query only selected sources. You pay only for the sources queried; omitting "models" runs the full source set.
Check which competitors appear, which sources AI cites, and which prompts miss you. Then update pages that map to those prompts and rerun the same set.
