Where AI finds its answers

First steps
Where you start
- You add the prompts your customers actually type - the city and the service in one line.
- You check which directories, rankings and portals models cite in your area, and you know where it pays to show up.
- The site audit gives you a task list: reviews, contact details, service descriptions and more.
FAQ
Questions before you start
Yes. When a question names a city or a neighborhood, AI models usually name specific local businesses. BrandinAI shows whether you’re one of them, in which models, and who’s ahead of you.
When you set up a project, you enter the area you serve, and BrandinAI suggests prompts based on your brand and region. You can edit them and add your own, for example with the name of a neighborhood or a specific service.
BrandinAI measures whether and how AI models recommend you, not phone calls or visits. So it pays to ask new customers how they heard about you and compare that with how your AI visibility changes.
It isn’t required, but not having one can weaken your visibility, because AI loses one of its most important sources of information about your business. A business without a website can also seem less trustworthy. You can set up a project without one, but the full audit needs your website address.
Visibility work can’t be fully automated, and the results depend on how much you put into it. But BrandinAI guides you step by step: it regularly runs your prompts in AI models, sorts your tasks by priority, and the BIA assistant suggests how to get each one done. That way you spend only as much time on it as you really need to.
