Frequently asked
What does this tool actually do?
Given a brand name and a buyer-shaped query, the tool asks Gemini Flash (Google's AI model) for its recommendation as if a buyer asked the question. We parse the response to detect whether your brand is named, at what position, against which competitors. You get a 0-100 score across 5 axes (recognition, recommendation, position, competitive density, context quality) plus the raw Gemini answer and 1-3 specific recommendations.
Why only one AI platform?
This is a free sample. The real Brand Radar measures all 5 major AI search platforms (ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity) because surface rates routinely vary 30-40 percentage points between platforms for the same brand. Claude grounds in Brave's index, ChatGPT in Bing, AIO+Gemini in Google, Perplexity in its own crawl + licensed data — different surfaces, different visibility. The free tool gives you Gemini's view; the paid Brand Radar gives the full 5-platform picture, weekly.
Why do I need to sign in?
Each check uses a real Gemini API call. Sign-in is the friction that stops anonymous abuse from blowing through our free-tier API budget. Once you sign in, you get not just unlimited Brand Radar Free Sample runs — the Free Citare tier covers 1 project with weekly 50-cell Brand Radar dispatch across all 5 platforms. The free tool is a 30-second preview; the free tier is the actual product.
How do I phrase a good buyer query?
Think like the buyer, not the marketer. "Best AI search tool with Claude tracking" or "Ahrefs alternative for Indian SaaS with INR pricing" or "How do I monitor my brand in ChatGPT and Perplexity". Avoid corporate phrasing ("comprehensive AI search visibility solution") — buyers don't type that. The query should match the literal way a customer would phrase the question.
What does the score actually predict?
It's a single-platform snapshot of brand awareness + competitive positioning in Gemini. A score of 80+ means Gemini actively recommends your brand for this specific query; 50-79 means recognition but weaker positioning; <50 means low recognition or absence. The score is not predictive of overall AI visibility across all platforms — that's what the full paid Brand Radar measures over weekly cadence with anti-prime query discipline.
