Research methodology

A practical benchmark for measuring AI visibility.

AnswerMeter measures how SaaS brands appear inside generated buyer answers: recommendations, omissions, competitor overlap, citations, and the work needed to improve the next scan.

Methodology

How AnswerMeter turns one domain into measurable evidence.

01

Domain and category research

Start from the company's domain, positioning, product category, target buyer, public pages, sitemap, and AI-readable source hints.

02

Buyer prompt baseline

Generate a stable set of high-intent prompts across best tools, alternatives, comparisons, pricing, integrations, and trust questions.

03

Answer and citation capture

Capture generated answers, mentioned brands, sentiment, cited sources, source ownership, and competitor overlap for each prompt.

04

Action and rescan loop

Turn missing mentions and citation gaps into page briefs, source updates, outreach tasks, and repeat scans against the same baseline.
