Welcome to SurfacedBy
Measure how often AI platforms cite your brand and learn how to improve that coverage over time.
SurfacedBy is an AI visibility platform. It measures how often ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Mode mention your domain when real users ask questions in your category. You add a domain, SurfacedBy discovers the prompts that matter, then it runs scheduled scans against those AI platforms and turns the answers into trends you can act on.
These docs cover two audiences. If you are using the web app to track a domain, the Platform section explains the metrics you see on your dashboard and how to read them. If you are building against SurfacedBy programmatically, the Developer section covers the public REST API, webhooks, and the conventions every endpoint follows.
What you can learn here
- How SurfacedBy calculates Visibility Score, Brand Coverage, AI Mentions, Share of Voice, and Market Position.
- Which AI platforms are covered, how often scans run on each plan, and what a scan actually tests.
- How Brand Lenses describe the way AI platforms talk about your brand, and how Conversion Tracking ties AI visibility to traffic and revenue. See Brand Lenses and Conversion Tracking.
- How to authenticate against the public API, handle errors, paginate, and guard against duplicate writes with idempotency keys.
- How to subscribe to outbound webhooks, verify signatures, and respond to delivery retries.
Product at a glance
Scans run on a schedule. Every paid tier gets Daily Monitoring plus a Full Benchmark. Results flow into a per-domain dashboard split across Overview, AI Visibility, Tracked Prompts, Citations, Competitors, and AI Responses, plus a list of cited pages so you can see which content AI platforms are actually surfacing.
Pricing is tier based. Starter fits a single domain, Professional adds more platforms and the public REST API, and Business adds write access plus headroom for agencies and larger portfolios. A short trial is available if you want to see the product work on your own domain before picking a plan.
If you are just getting started, the Quickstart walks from signup to reading your first results in about ten minutes.
