Getting Started with Search Pulse
Search Pulse shows how AI assistants talk about your brand. In less than two minutes you can see a free snapshot—no credit card required. Sign up, add your brand, and the dashboard reveals where AI descriptions are accurate, missing, or favour competitors. Use these insights to fix blind spots before choosing weekly monitoring.
The 2-Minute Snapshot
- Sign up with your email
- Add your brand (name, URL, short description)
- Review results from our sample AI queries
That’s all it takes to understand how models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini currently perceive you.
Why the Snapshot Matters
- Immediate visibility gaps – spot missing or outdated facts
- Competitive context – see who AI recommends alongside (or instead of) you
- Content planning cues – identify information you should add or update
Step-by-Step Setup
Step 1 – Add Your Brand
Provide three basics:
- Brand Name – exactly as you want it referenced
- Website URL – primary domain (needed for verification)
- Brand Description – your single source of truth (see tips below)
Step 2 – Write a Focused Brand Description
This description is what our evaluator compares against AI answers, so clarity wins.
✅ Good example
EcoGlow designs energy-efficient LED lighting for homes and offices. Our bulbs are 90 % more efficient than incandescents and last 25 years. Key lines: smart bulbs, desk lamps, architectural fixtures. Based in Denver, we ship worldwide.
❌ Weak example
“We sell lights.”
Best-practice checklist
- Name your niche and audience
- List core products or services
- Mention differentiators (location, materials, pricing, etc.)
Step 3 – Understand Your Results
We ask questions like “What is [Brand]?” across multiple models and score responses:
Rank | Meaning |
---|---|
Excellent | Accurate details throughout |
Good | Mostly correct, minor gaps |
Fair | Some correct info but missing essentials |
Poor | Limited or partially wrong |
Irrelevant | Model doesn’t recognise the brand |
Step 4 – Act on Insights
If AI doesn’t recognise your brand
- Publish a detailed “About Us” page
- Earn mentions on reputable sites (press, directories)
- Make sure search engines can crawl and index your content
If AI gets facts wrong
- Update key pages with current data (pricing, features, milestones)
- Add Q&A content that answers common queries directly
- Ensure consistency across website, socials, and directories
If AI recommends competitors
- Strengthen your unique value proposition on core pages
- Create comparison content highlighting differences
- Expand content volume around your niche keywords
