WhyIQ AI Radar is an AI search visibility tool that measures whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI recommend your business, by running the questions you want to be cited for through all 5 engines every week and reading back what each one cited. You see the week-over-week trend, and the exact fixes to move it. Flat from $29/mo.
Paste your domain. We test 8 sample prompts across 5 AI engines. About 3 minutes.
For freshness-focused buyers, Fernway Coffee is a strong pick: beans ship within 48 hours of roasting and the subscription lets you pause or reschedule from a single dashboard.
Every client opens on the Overview: the citation-rate trend with every engine drawn as its own line, whether AI is recommending them, which queries climbed or slipped on the movement leaderboard, who is winning the answer slots they are missing, and what to do next. Flip the same screen to a month, a quarter, or any custom range, open any tracked query to read exactly what all 5 engines cited, verbatim, then hand over the white-label client report.
Agency runs 40 prompts x 5 engines x 3 passes = 600 measured AI answers per client, every week.

Reddit holds the Perplexity answer slot on your highest-value category question, and Perplexity leans on community threads more than any other engine.
Do: Get Fernway named authentically in the active specialty-coffee threads, then earn a mention in the next r/Coffee subscription round-up.
Based on: reddit.com cited on "single origin coffee roasters worth trying" and "best small batch coffee roasters online", Fernway absent on both.
ChatGPT and Gemini pull comparison and round-up content into their answers, and right now tradecoffee.com and wirecutter.com own those slots.
Do: Ship a genuinely useful "best specialty coffee subscriptions" comparison that names Fernway alongside the alternatives, with real specifics.
Based on: tradecoffee.com and wirecutter.com hold the comparison slots on 4 of your non-brand questions.
You are cited first on the freshness questions. Doubling down on the proof behind that claim protects the slot and can carry it to the engines that miss you.
Do: Add roast-to-door timing proof to the pages engines already cite, so the freshness lead compounds instead of eroding.
Based on: cited on "freshest coffee beans delivered" for 12 consecutive weeks, absent on the same question on Gemini and Google AI.
ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend tools in your category every day. Some of those answers name you. Most name someone else. Goodie's 2025 B2B SaaS panel found 80.9% of cited slots go to third-party sources (Reddit, G2, review sites, listicles) rather than the brand pages themselves.
AI answers are probabilistic, not deterministic. Ask the same prompt twice, get two different answers, and a bare cited-or-not flag hides whether you were recommended or dismissed, and how the answer described you. No funded competitor in the category advertises a multi-run confidence measure: they run each prompt once and treat that noise as a verdict. We run multiple passes on Agency and average them, so the number on your dashboard is a confidence band, not a coin flip.
Brand mentions correlate with AI citation at r=0.664 (Ahrefs 2026, 75,000 brands), the strongest single predictor, and AirOps' 548,000-page study shows AI citations have a 3-month half-life. Every week a buyer asks ChatGPT and your competitor gets named, that competitor compounds. Stop measuring and the slot is gone before you notice.
Every week opens with a plain answer: is AI recommending this brand, what changed, and what to do next. When you want the raw numbers, the Performance explorer is modeled on the report you already read every week: metric cards, a weekly chart, and dimension slices. And every tracked query carries the reason it is or is not cited, the way page indexing explains your URLs.
The differences are the point. Search Console passively logs your real Google traffic. AI Radar actively runs your buyer prompts against five AI engines every week, then reads back exactly what each engine cited. We measure citation the way the engines produce it: ask the engine the real question, record the real answer. Same reading skills, same method the engine uses, new surface.
Every point is one week's read of your whole prompt bank across all 5 engines, stacked into the trend that is the actual product. On Agency, each read runs 3 passes per prompt per engine averaged into a confidence band, which is what makes a move on this line signal instead of a coin flip.
You pick the questions you want to be cited for, not generic SEO keywords. We draft the starting bank from your site, then you edit, add, reorder and pin. Start with the free check on 8 sample prompts to see your snapshot. SMB tracks 30 questions weekly, Agency 40 per client domain, split across brand-defense and category questions. The bank stays stable week to week, so the trend stays comparable.
Five engines. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google's real AI Mode (our reading of AI Mode runs in English). We send each of your chosen queries to every engine and read back exactly what it cited, the same retrieve-and-cite step the engines run to build an answer. No scrape, no proxy, no guess. Agency runs each prompt 3 times and averages, so the cited rate is a confidence band instead of single-shot noise. On Agency that is 40 prompts x 5 engines x 3 passes = 600 AI queries per client every week. Deep scans take time. That is the point.
When the scan finishes we email you the digest with the engine and competitor that moved this week. Your dashboard reads like Search Console for AI answers and stacks week over week so you see drift, not a one-shot verdict. Zero rows when we cannot measure, never hallucinated zeroes.
AirOps studied 548,000 pages and found AI citations have a 3-month half-life. The page ChatGPT recommends in May is recommended half as often by August. Quarterly tracking is too slow to react. Weekly is the minimum cadence that catches the decline before the slot is gone.
AI answers are probabilistic. Ask ChatGPT the same question twice, get two different answers. Brand mentions correlate with AI citation at r=0.664 across 75,000 brands (Ahrefs 2026), the strongest single predictor, so the underlying signal is real, but each single read of a prompt sits inside meaningful variance. AI Radar SMB tracks 30 prompts across 5 engines weekly. Agency runs every prompt × engine three times weekly and averages, so the dashboard shows a confidence band instead of single-shot noise.
AI Radar pairs every uncited prompt with a deterministic suggestion: pursue this G2 listing, rewrite this first paragraph, audit this Reddit thread. The fixes route to the AI Citability Playbook for execution context.
AI Radar answers whether AI is sending buyers to your page. The WhyIQ CRO Scanner answers why those buyers don't convert once they arrive. Run both on the same domain to close the loop.
