Your next customer won't scroll. They'll just ask.

AI assistants answer with a short list of names. If yours isn't on it, you don't get the call, and you'd never know it happened.

How it works

From a question to a plan in four steps

A free scan takes a few minutes. Tracking keeps going every week, on its own.

    Which roofers help with insurance claims?

    We ask what customers ask

    Natural questions that never contain your name, sent to every engine. Each answer is read in full, start to finish.

    Track it, compare it, act on it

    Weekly rescans show real movement. See who's gaining on you, which sources matter, and what to fix next.

Why one screenshot isn't a measurement

Ask the same question twice and AI can give two different answers. We ask on a schedule, keep every answer, and show how many answers sit behind each number, so a lucky (or unlucky) day never passes for a trend.

Methodology

Numbers you can defend in a meeting

AI visibility is easy to fake and hard to measure. These rules are built into every scan, report and export.

Read how we measure
  • Unbiased questions

    Your name never appears in a discovery question. We measure whether AI brings you up on its own.

  • Full answers, every time

    We read the complete answer, not a preview. A mention in the very last line still counts.

  • Errors are never zeros

    Timeouts, refusals and outages are excluded and shown as coverage gaps, never as "not visible".

  • Labeled by method

    App observed, search observed or API benchmark. You always know exactly what was measured.

  • Recommended, mentioned or cited

    Being recommended, being named, and having your site used as a source are three different facts. We track each.

  • Every number shows its math

    Each rate shows how many answers it's based on. No data reads "unavailable", never 0%.

Pricing

Simple plans. Every engine on every plan.

No engine add-ons, no per-seat surprises. Pick the plan that matches how many places you need to win.

FAQ

Straight answers about AI answers

If you've been burned by vague dashboards before, start here.

Which AI engines do you check?

ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Claude and Grok. Each engine is switched on once its integration has been verified, and every report lists the engines it asked. Each result is labeled with how it was measured: captured from the consumer app, captured from a live search page, or asked through the official API with web search on.

Is this exactly what my customers see?

It's as close as we can honestly get, and we tell you how close. AI answers vary by time, location, device and account history. We ask from your market, label the method, keep the full answer, and repeat on a schedule so you see a pattern instead of a single roll of the dice.

Why don't you put my business name in the questions?

Because that would measure the wrong thing. Customers ask “who's the best roofer in Plano?”, not “is Summit Ridge Roofing good?”. Questions that name you are run separately as accuracy checks and never inflate your visibility score.

What's the difference between recommended, mentioned and cited?

Recommended means the AI suggested you as an option. Mentioned means you were named, perhaps with a caveat like “I can't vouch for them”. Cited means your website was used as a source, even if your name wasn't in the answer. We track all three separately.

What happens when an engine fails during a scan?

It's recorded as an error and excluded from your scores, never counted as “not visible”. You'll see it in the coverage numbers, and it can be retried without re-running everything else.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend my business?

No, and nobody can honestly promise that. What we can do is show exactly where you stand, who's named instead, which sources AI leans on, and which changes moved the needle over time.

Do I need to connect my Google Business Profile?

No. You enter your business by hand, and that works for service-area businesses with no public address too. Nothing is ever changed on your listings.

Can agencies white-label Mentioned First?

That's what the Agency plan is for: a client portal on your own domain, your logo and colors, client logins that only see their own workspace, branded PDF reports, and emails from your verified sending domain. We never market to your clients. The Agency plan opens soon, and agencies can join the early-access list now.

Built by people who do this work every day

Mentioned First is built and operated by Mediazealous, a founder-led agency that helps local and multi-location businesses get found in search, in maps, and now in AI answers. We built the tool we wanted for our own clients, then made it honest enough to hand to anyone.
