Frequently asked

How is this different from Brandwatch or Mention?

Brandwatch and Mention monitor social posts, news, and web mentions — high volume, low conversion-impact for most B2B and considered-purchase B2C. Citare's Brand Radar monitors AI assistant answers — the surface that now shapes the shortlist before a buyer ever searches a brand name. We do the AI surface plus standard web mentions; they do social plus traditional press. Different jobs.

What gets monitored across the 5 AI platforms?

ChatGPT, Google AIO (in-SERP AI Overviews), Gemini app, Claude, Perplexity. For each: weekly run of your Query Guide (typically 10-15 queries covering category + buyer intent + competitor-comparison prompts), parsed envelopes capturing whether your brand is named, recommended-first, cited with URL, or absent.

Does it cover regional-language mentions?

Yes — English + transliterated Hindi + Devanagari standard on every plan. Tamil + Telugu + Marathi + Bangla on Pro+. Regional vernacular often surfaces a markedly different brand mix than English queries, and most monitoring tools ignore the gap entirely.

Can I set up alerts on competitor mentions?

Yes. Competitor delta is tracked per project (5 named competitors on Pulse, 10 on Agency, unlimited on Enterprise). Alerts fire when a competitor's surface rate exceeds yours on a configured platform or when you fall off a top-N shortlist. Email + Slack + webhook.
