Everything below is yours to share - mention rate, competitor overlap, the prompts you lost, citation gaps, and a ranked fix list. Refresh scans, weekly monitoring, exports, and team workflows are paid.
AI names the brand on some buyer questions and skips it on others. There's a clear list of pages and proof to ship to flip the gaps.
Brand mention rate

AI answers shift. We report mention rates and confidence ranges instead of pretending positions are fixed forever - rescan weekly to track the drift.
Scan coverage
Buyer questions, competitors, sources, and recommended fixes are shown together so the next move is clear.

4 ranked fixes
Prioritized by what should improve mentions, citations, and competitor overlap.
Priority gap brief
The report picks one prompt where the brand, competitors, sources, and next asset line up into the clearest move.
What domain should I use in code samples instead of a real website?
AI answered the buyer without Example and named Example (example.com) instead. This is the first answer to flip.
Content or SEO owner: Alternatives page first, source move second, refresh scan after it ships.
Next refresh should name the brand on this prompt and add at least one useful cited source.

Asset to ship
Alternatives page: Publish the neutral buyer answer
Source move
Audit iana.org and decide whether to earn a mention there or publish a stronger source AI can cite instead.
Proof to watch
Next refresh should name the brand on this prompt and add at least one useful cited source.

The first scan should prove the problem. Refresh scans prove whether the fixes worked, which prompts flipped, and where competitors came back.

Monthly proof receipt
Prompt set
7 buyer prompts; priority: "What domain should I use in code samples instead of a real website?".
Paid refresh reruns the same buyer prompts so gains and losses are real movement, not a changed test.
Competitor frame
Example (example.com)
The next report should show whether competitor overlap dropped without losing the brand mention.
Citation roots
example.com, iana.org
The next report should show whether trusted roots cite the brand, cite the shipped page, or change source mix.
Shipped asset
example.com/example-alternatives-page-what-domain-should-i-use-in-code-samples-inste
Annotate the content update, then refresh to see whether the URL becomes cited or changes the answer wording.
This turns the free baseline into a handoff: what stayed fixed, what ships next, and what the paid monthly refresh must prove.
The paid loop starts here.
After the next refresh, this panel turns into a before/after view: score delta, overlap delta, citation movement, and prompt wins/losses.
Report operating rules
The free report should make the next move obvious. Paid refreshes are for proving whether shipped AEO, SEO, and GEO work changed the same buyer answers over time.
Baseline rules
Proof loop rules
Make the page or section easy for answer engines to quote directly.
Keep the asset indexable, internally linked, structured, and visible in HTML.
Earn or improve the sources AI systems cite when they form the answer.
Compare before and after instead of treating one static score as the outcome.
AEO / SEO / GEO snapshot
Each track ties the current evidence to one free move and the paid monthly proof that should change after the work ships.
6/7 prompts
First missing buyer question: "What domain should I use in code samples instead of a real website?".
Free move
Write the shortest complete answer to "What domain should I use in code samples instead of a real website?" with the verdict, proof, and who it is for.
Monthly proof
Rescan the same prompt set and check whether mention coverage rises or any won prompt is lost.
63/100
Suggested page path: /example-alternatives-page-what-domain-should-i-use-in-code-samples-inste. Title target: Example Alternatives page for AI buyer answers.
Free move
Publish or update the page with a clear H1, visible proof, internal links, FAQ copy, and structured data that matches the page.
Monthly proof
Refresh should show whether the page enters the cited URL set, lifts confidence, or protects the same answer.
2 roots
14 citations grouped across Third-party website, Owned.
Free move
Audit iana.org and decide whether to earn a mention there or publish a stronger source AI can cite instead.
Monthly proof
Refresh should show whether the same trusted roots name the brand and whether competitor overlap drops.
57%
Next refresh should name the brand on this prompt and add at least one useful cited source.
Free move
Keep the prompt set, competitor frame, and shipped URL stable so this baseline stays comparable.
Monthly proof
Monthly is useful only if it proves movement: mentions gained or lost, overlap change, source-root change, and confidence change.
Executive summary
Business risk
The brand has a usable baseline, but 57% competitor overlap means the answer can still drift. Snyk is the competitor to watch first.
Fastest path
Start with AEO: Publish the neutral buyer answer. Treat the first shipped asset as the control point for AEO, SEO, citations, and the next verification scan.
Proof to watch
14 cited sources and 7 answer snapshots back this report. The metric to improve is mention rate, competitor overlap, cited URL quality, and confidence after the next scan.
30-day implementation plan
This turns the report from a scorecard into an execution plan: publish the answer asset, make it discoverable, win citations, then rescan the same buyer prompts.
The scan did not detect Example in the neutral buyer query "What domain should I use in code samples instead of a real website?". Ship a crawlable page for "best security software tools" that answers in the first screen, lists selection criteria for developers and technical writers, shows where Example fits, compares known alternatives, and includes FAQ-friendly proof an answer engine can quote.
Add a focused slug, H1, title tag, internal links, visible proof, FAQ copy, and schema that matches the page.
tempuri.org appeared in measured answers for security software. Build neutral comparison or alternative proof, then update the review pages, directories, roundups, marketplaces, or partner pages that already mention that competitor so future answers see Example beside it.
After the page, source, or crawl fix ships, rerun the same neutral buyer prompts and compare brand mentions, competitor overlap, cited URLs, and confidence. Treat this as the scorecard for whether the AI answer actually changed.

Share-ready report card
Every public report ships with a social image, ready-to-paste share text, and a printable layout - so the scan does the distribution work for you.
One answer can name several brands - so this is share of mention, not a leaderboard rank.

Buyer questions where AI answered without naming the brand. Each one is a page or proof you should ship.
What domain should I use in code samples instead of a real website?
Real answers to real prompts. Each card shows the buyer question, the AI agent, who got named, citation count, sentiment, confidence, and a snapshot of the response.
What are the best security tools for developers and technical writers?
The best security tools for developers and technical writers include static application security testing (SAST) tools like Snyk, Semgrep, Veracode, and Checkmarx for code analysis, and dynamic analysis tools for runtime testing. Example.com is a reserved domain used solely for documentation examples and is not a security tool.

The domain example.com is the standard reserved domain for use in code samples, documentation, and tutorials.
