Questions
Common questions
What does an AI strategist for agencies do?
It does the research a strategist would do for each client. SiteSignal asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews the questions your client's buyers ask, checks the answers and turns the gaps into a ranked weekly to-do list. Your strategist reviews it, and your developers and writers ship the fixes.
What can I white-label?
Client reports carry your agency's logo and brand colors, not SiteSignal's. White-label reports are part of the Agency plan.
What is a free AEO report?
A one-off, branded AEO report on a lead or prospect. It shows what AI engines say about them, which facts are wrong and which competitors get recommended instead. Free partner accounts get 10 a month. The Agency plan includes 50 branded proposals a month.
What is query fan-out?
Query fan-out is when an AI engine breaks one question into several searches before it writes an answer. SiteSignal shows the fan-out queries ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini run for each buyer question, tagged by intent and funnel stage, so your content team knows what to publish.
What is prompt diagnosis?
The question-by-question view of a brand's AI visibility. For each buyer question you see the visibility, mention, recommendation, ranking and citation rates in each AI engine, a 30-day history, the full answer and the sources it cited.
Who pays the AI costs on the Agency plan?
The Agency plan uses your own AI provider keys (BYOK), so you pay your AI providers directly. It costs about $1 per buyer question per engine per month.
What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It means making sure AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews describe your business correctly, and recommend you when buyers ask. SEO gets you ranked on Google. AEO gets you named in AI answers.
What is an AI hallucination about my brand?
It is when an AI engine states something false about your business. Common examples are wrong prices, wrong contact details and out-of-date product facts. SiteSignal checks your key facts daily and tells you how to correct them.
How is SiteSignal different from Semrush or Ahrefs?
Semrush and Ahrefs measure how you rank on Google. SiteSignal diagnoses what AI engines say about you and gives you a weekly plan to fix it. SiteSignal is built to sit alongside your SEO suite, not replace it.
Is the action plan just generic advice?
No. Every fix comes from your own site and the answers AI engines gave about you. Each one shows the buyer question and the AI response that triggered it. You can check the reasoning before you act.
Do you see what real buyers see?
As close as we can get. Questions run through the official APIs of ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews results are retrieved from live Google search results. We set the location and audience profile to match each site's target market. Our tested prompt method keeps answers as close as possible to what a real buyer sees.
How often does the action plan change?
You get a new plan every week. Fact checks run daily, so a new hallucination shows up fast. The plan re-ranks your fixes as AI answers change.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. You don't need a card. Checks start within minutes, and your first action plan arrives within 24 hours. Nothing is charged when the trial ends. Your checks pause and your data is kept for 30 days.
