AI Search Visibility Platform

Know where you appear
in AI search.
Act on every gap.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview don't return ten links — they return one answer, drawn from sources they've decided to trust. BPG tracks which sources those engines cite, shows you where competitors appear without you, and gives you the tools to get mentioned.

Why It Matters

AI engines don't return links.
They return one answer.

Traditional SEO tells you how you rank on Google. It says nothing about whether you show up when someone asks ChatGPT for the best product in your category. These are different questions with different answers.

The shift

Synthesised answers, not ranked lists

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview draw on sources they've decided to trust. A synthesised answer has no position 2 or 3. You're either mentioned in it or you're not.

The risk

Competitors may already be there

Citation data shows exactly which brands appear in AI answers for your category — and which don't. Most brands have no idea where they stand. Their competitors do.

The blind spot

Traditional SEO is blind to this

Rank trackers and analytics tools measure Google search performance. None of them tell you whether you appear when someone asks an AI engine for a recommendation in your category.

How It Works

Track. Act. Measure.

BPG is built around a closed loop. Every data point is a starting point for action — not just a number to monitor.

Step 01

Define the questions your customers are asking AI engines.

Define the questions your target customers are asking AI engines. Set up prompts for any market, run them across multiple engines, and BPG starts building your citation footprint from day one.

Step 02

BPG tracks which sources AI engines cite in every answer.

BPG runs your prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview — logging every source cited in their answers. Each record captures the URL, domain, category, which engine returned it, and whether your brand appeared.

Step 03

See where competitors appear and where you don't.

Your dashboard shows exactly where competitors appear in AI answers for your category — and where you don't. See which sources are driving their citations, how your footprint compares across engines, and where the gaps are largest.

Step 04

Act on every citation, directly from BPG.

Every citation is actionable from within the platform. Reddit thread cited? Submit human-reviewed content. Article cited? Find the journalist. YouTube video cited? Find the creator. No thread in your data yet? Use Thread Discovery to get ahead of the curve.

Step 05

Measure how your footprint changes over time.

Track how your citation footprint changes as your actions take effect. Connect a specific gap to a specific action taken and see whether it moved the needle. Weekly or daily updates depending on your plan.

What You Can Do

Every citation is a starting point,
not just a data point.

The type of action depends on the source. All of it happens inside the platform — no separate tools, no agency relationships required.

Reddit threads

Submit content into cited threads

When a Reddit thread is being cited by AI engines, BPG lets you submit a comment into that thread directly from within the platform. Your team writes the content. BPG posts it using established accounts with real karma and history. Every submission is reviewed by BPG's team before it goes live.

This matters because AI engines have already decided that thread is a credible source. Getting your brand mentioned in it has a direct, measurable effect on future citation results.

News & editorial

Find the journalist behind every cited article

When a news article or blog post is being cited, BPG surfaces the contact details of the author or editorial team in one action: name, verified email where available, LinkedIn profile, and social accounts.

Contacts are saved to your Contacts list with outreach status tracking. This turns citation data into an editorial pipeline — surfacing exactly who wrote the content AI engines are already treating as authoritative in your category.

YouTube videos

Reach the creator behind every cited video

When a YouTube video is being cited by AI engines, BPG surfaces the creator's contact details — public email where available, YouTube channel, and social profiles — so you can initiate conversations about editorial mention or partnership.

Thread Discovery

Get into threads before competitors do

Search any keyword and surface Reddit threads currently ranking in Google organic search results. Each result shows the subreddit, estimated monthly traffic, comment count, and post date.

This is the proactive side of the loop — finding threads that AI engines are likely to cite next, before those citation patterns are locked in.

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

What is a prompt, and how do I set one up?

A prompt is the question your target customer would ask an AI engine — for example, "what are the best cargo liners for a 4Runner?" or "which protein powder is best for building muscle?" BPG runs those prompts across major AI platforms on your behalf and logs which sources the engines cite in their answers. Setting one up takes under a minute inside the platform.

Which AI engines does BPG track?

BPG currently tracks citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview — the three platforms that account for the majority of AI-driven product discovery. Additional engines are on the roadmap.

How does the Reddit submission feature work?

Your team writes the content — a genuine, value-adding comment that mentions your product naturally. BPG reviews it for quality and accuracy, then posts it through one of our established Reddit accounts with real karma and post history. Nothing goes live without BPG's review. This is not automated bulk posting — every submission is manually reviewed before it goes live.

What's included in the free Lurker plan?

The Lurker plan lets you monitor one AI prompt, see citation data as it comes in, and submit content into cited Reddit threads using credits. There's no subscription fee — you only pay when you post ($10 per comment, $20 per post). It's a real working account, not a trial with artificial limits on core functionality.

What are credits and do they expire?

Credits are spent on Reddit submissions and contact reveals beyond your monthly subscription allowance. They never expire — buy them when you need volume, hold them when you don't. This structure works for brands that track heavily and post rarely, as well as those that do the reverse.
