Frequently asked questions
What is AnswerScope?
AnswerScope is AI search visibility software. It tracks how ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude answer the questions buyers ask, scores how visible a brand is in those answers, measures share of voice against competitors, and generates the files that make a website readable to AI engines.
Which AI engines does AnswerScope track?
ChatGPT (OpenAI), Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude (Anthropic). The free plan tracks two engines; paid plans track all four.
How much does AnswerScope cost?
The Free plan costs $0 and tracks 5 prompts on 2 engines weekly. Pro is $29/month with 50 prompts, all 4 engines, and daily scans. Agency is $99/month with 10 brands and white-label reports. Enterprise AI visibility platforms typically start at $99–$545/month.
How is the AI visibility score calculated?
Deterministically, per answer: first brand mentioned scores 100, a top-3 mention scores 70, any mention scores 40, absent scores 0, and an answer that cites your own domain adds 15 points. Scores average across prompts per engine, then across engines.
What is share of voice in AI search?
Share of voice is your brand mentions divided by total brand-plus-competitor mentions across all tracked AI answers, expressed as a percentage. It shows whether AI assistants recommend you or your competitors.
Does AnswerScope have a free AI visibility checker?
Yes. The free public scanner audits any website for AI-readiness (llms.txt, robots.txt AI-crawler access, structured data, FAQ content, and more) with no signup, and can run a live AI answer test for your brand.
What is llms.txt and does AnswerScope generate it?
llms.txt is a plain-text file at your site root that tells AI systems what your site is about and which pages matter. AnswerScope generates it — plus a machine-readable facts JSON endpoint, AI-crawler robots.txt rules, and FAQPage JSON-LD — from your stored brand facts.
Who is AnswerScope for?
Brands, small businesses, e-commerce stores, SaaS companies, and marketing agencies that want to know — and improve — how AI assistants describe and recommend them. It is priced for the SMB and agency segment rather than the enterprise.
