What you need

You'll need

  • A Pierview account
  • Your brand name (and variants)
  • 5–10 prompts that users might ask AI about your category

You'll get

  • Baseline visibility, sentiment, and citation metrics
  • Competitor mentions and source breakdown

​
Four steps to first results

1

Add your brand

Add your primary brand name. Include common variants (e.g., “Pierview” and “Pierview AI”) so we catch all mentions. You can add competitors later for comparison.
Tip: Use exact spellings. Avoid overly broad terms that could match other brands.
2

Create prompt sets

Define prompts that reflect real user queries. Think: “best X for Y,” “X vs Y,” “how to choose X.” Start with 5–10 prompts per category.Examples: “best AI visibility tools,” “how to track brand mentions in ChatGPT,” “Pierview vs manual monitoring”
3

Run your first scan

Select your prompts and models (e.g., Perplexity, ChatGPT). Run the scan. Results typically return within a few minutes.

Review metrics and next steps

Check your Visibility, Sentiment, and Citations. These tell you where you stand and what to improve.

​
Why these metrics matter

  • Visibility — If you’re rarely mentioned, you’re invisible. Aim to appear in a higher share of relevant answers.
    • Visibility=MentionsTotal Chats×100\text{Visibility} = \frac{\text{Mentions}}{\text{Total Chats}} \times 100
  • Sentiment — Mentions alone aren’t enough. Negative or neutral sentiment needs content or PR work.
    • Track positive vs negative share over time.
  • Citations — When AI cites your site, reviews, or press, you gain authority and traffic. Citations are a leading indicator of trust.
    • Formula: Avg Citations=Total CitationsResponses\text{Avg Citations} = \frac{\text{Total Citations}}{\text{Responses}}
Pro tip: Low visibility + strong sentiment when you are mentioned suggests a distribution problem. High visibility + weak citations suggests you need more citeable content.
