"Why is my competitor ranking higher on Perplexity?"
"What should I fix first this week?"
No dashboards. Just talk to Scout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Surmado submit my site to AI or sell placements?
No. Surmado does not sell AI placements and cannot submit your site to AI platforms. No one can. We test how these systems already talk about you and give you a plan to improve it.
What is Ghost Influence?
Ghost Influence measures how often AI discusses your capabilities but attributes them to a competitor. It's the visibility you're losing without knowing. It's one of the most actionable metrics in the report.
Why do I need to describe my customer?
AI doesn't give the same answer to everyone. A budget-conscious homeowner and a commercial contractor asking the same question get different results. That changes by location and language. Surmado tests as your actual customer types so you see what they see.
How is Surmado AI Visibility different from SEO tools?
SEO tools optimize your site for Google. Surmado shows how AI platforms talk about you, differently depending on who's asking, where they are, and what language they speak. But they're connected: AI mirrors your digital visibility. We show the full picture.
Does Surmado just ask ChatGPT?
No. Surmado queries seven AI platforms simultaneously: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, Grok, and DeepSeek. Each platform has different training data and different biases. A single-platform check misses the picture.
How does Surmado deliver results in ~15 minutes?
Surmado runs real research: querying seven platforms simultaneously with persona-aware prompts, analyzing the responses, generating competitive benchmarks, and producing client-ready deliverables. That's ~15 minutes of compute, not a queue.
Does Surmado Scout get better over time?
Yes. Surmado’s AI reads every report and remembers your brand. Weekly monitoring tracks changes persona by persona, platform by platform. The more you use it, the sharper the recommendations get.
Do I still need SEO if I focus on AI visibility?
Yes. AI mirrors your digital visibility. If your site is broken, confusing, or inaccessible, AI reflects that right back. Site Audit and AI Visibility work together. Surmado connects both.
Included With Every Surmado Site
AI Visibility shows where ChatGPT and Google overlook you, then powers Surmado Sites. Every Sites customer gets ongoing AI visibility monitoring built in, so the next answer includes you.
