Read the KPI guidance in this FAQ. - Practical analytics workflow: Monitor the same prompts across multiple AI platforms, then filter by platform to see where visibility diverges.

More in the Customers FAQs. - How-to playbooks: Step-by-step guides for AI bot tracking and competitive benchmarking, including how to track if AI bots are visiting your website and how to measure AI share of voice.
Cons - Evolving benchmarks: There aren’t universal targets for AI search yet; Scrunch recommends benchmarking your current baseline and iterating. Details in this benchmarking FAQ. - Time to see real trends: Visibility should be monitored over consistent 2–3 week windows to separate true movement from one-off changes. See the trends FAQ. - Prompt strategy required: You’ll need a representative prompt set (mix of branded and non-branded, across the journey). See the prompt coverage FAQ.
Scrunch recommends evaluating AEO tools on both product features (model coverage, data filtering, ease of use) and vendor factors (industry experience, reviews, pricing). See the comparison guidance in this FAQ.
