Frequently asked

Why does regional-language SEO matter alongside English?

Tier-2 and tier-3 city traffic in India increasingly searches in the local script — and AI assistants return meaningfully different brand mixes for the same query in English vs Tamil vs Bengali vs Marathi. The brand recommended for 'best home loan provider' on a Devanagari Hindi query is often not the brand recommended on the English version. If you're not measuring across scripts you're measuring a metro-English slice of your real buyer base.

Which scripts does Citare dispatch?

Eight: Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Punjabi (Gurmukhi). Hindi/Devanagari is covered on a dedicated page. For every Brand Radar query you can opt in to all relevant scripts; results come back per-script so you can compare the brand mix side by side rather than averaging the signal away.

How does this pair with the Hindi-script SEO playbook?

It's the second half. Hindi/Devanagari covers North India's primary script (Hindi belt + most of Maharashtra/Bihar/UP/MP). This page covers the 8 other major scripts, mostly South + East + West regional. Brands targeting all-India coverage typically run both — they're additive, not overlapping. See the Hindi-script SEO page for the Devanagari half.

Does this work for non-text content like YouTube + voice search?

Brand Radar focuses on text-shaped AI surfaces today — ChatGPT, AIO, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity. Voice queries hitting Gemini/Assistant do route through the same Google index, so coverage there is implicit. YouTube-specific surface tracking is on the roadmap but not shipped yet — we won't oversell what doesn't exist.

How does pricing handle the extra script-variant load?

Script variants don't cost extra. Pulse ₹2,999/mo and Pro ₹9,999/mo both include unlimited script-variant dispatch within your Brand Radar cell quota. Razorpay billing in INR with GST invoices. Free tier supports 2 scripts per project — enough to validate the variance before you commit.
