Crendo looks at your brand from a buyer's perspective, suggests the competitors and the questions buyers are likely to ask, and lets you decide what gets tested.

02 /Where AI sees you

A mention isn't
a recommendation.

Crendo separates being referenced from actually making the shortlist.

Postiz leads on open-source, self-hosted and developer-API questions; agency workflows is the clearest gap. Several brands can be recommended in one answer, so rates don't add up to 100%. Not market share, not a search ranking.

04 /Follow the evidence

See what AI cites. And whether you're there.

Crendo opens the pages AI cites and checks who they mention. A citation shows what an answer drew on, not why a brand was recommended.

07 /Questions

The questions an analytical buyer asks.

What counts as a recommendation?

Your brand is placed on the answer's shortlist for the buyer question — named as an option to choose, not just referenced in passing. A passing reference is recorded as a mention, and no appearance at all is recorded as absent.

How are the buyer questions chosen?

Crendo reads your site to infer your category, offering, audience and competitive set, then generates questions a buyer would realistically ask across broad category, alternatives, use case and segment intents.

Can I edit them before the audit?

Yes. You review Crendo's understanding of your brand and the question set before anything is measured. You can correct, remove or add questions and context.

Which AI systems do you check?

The audit measures ChatGPT and Gemini. ChatGPT answers come from the ChatGPT app with web search, collected through DataForSEO from your market; Gemini answers come from the Gemini API grounded with Google Search. Each answer is stored with its evidence so results can be rechecked over time.

Is the initial report free?

Yes. The first audit is free and requires no signup. Ongoing weekly tracking of the same questions is part of the paid plan.

Why might my ChatGPT app answer look different?

Your own ChatGPT app adds your memory, personalization and conversation history. Crendo collects a fresh ChatGPT answer with web search for each question, without your personal history, so every audit starts from the same baseline rather than one person's session.
