The AI search tracking API that turns one prompt like "best 43-inch TVs" plus a brandName into share of voice, average position, sentiment, coverage, and a competitor breakdown. For any brand, any market. Buy prepaid API credits from $5. No subscription, no recurring payment.

Real user experience, not raw API responses

We connect directly to the consumer-facing UI of each AI search engine, adjusting geography and locale so the answer matches what your customer actually sees. Many AI search APIs query provider backends directly, where the output differs from what end users get.

Statistically reliable results through replicates

AI search engines are non-deterministic. We execute multiple searches per prompt and aggregate the results, so share of voice, average position, and coverage reflect real statistical patterns.

Citation and source analysis for optimization

AI search engines lean on internal web searches to ground their answers. We extract and analyze the sources cited for each prompt, so you can see which articles, reviews, and domains drive recommendations and build a concrete GEO strategy.
