Measurement series
The same prompt set at a fixed interval, every run dated and with raw data.
AI visibility monitoring for AI answers
One measurement is a photograph. Only a series shows movement.
Monitoring repeats the same questions in the same systems at a fixed interval. That is what lets you tell whether your visibility moved or a provider simply changed something.
Difference
Audit and monitoring answer different questions.
Tracked
continuously
- Mention per question yes
- Linking yes
- Cited source yes
- Competitors in set yes
- Region separated
- Tone of the mention on request
The audit answers “where do we stand?”. It is a project with a start and an end. Monitoring answers “what is changing, and why?”. It runs for as long as you want the view.
The reason for the split is practical. After the audit many clients know enough and get on with implementing. Repetition only becomes interesting once measures are running, because that is when something can actually move.
The reverse also holds: monitoring without a baseline produces numbers with no reference. So we only start it on top of an audit, or we capture the baseline in the first month.
What you get
Four things, on a schedule.
Alerts
A message when a mention disappears or a new competitor enters the set. Not on every fluctuation.
Quarterly report
Trend, interpretation, recommendation. And which measures produced nothing.
A call with it
One meeting per quarter to settle questions and agree the next steps.
Honestly
When monitoring wastes your money.
If nothing is being implemented, you are only measuring provider noise. Monitoring pays off when work runs alongside it, otherwise it produces reports nobody needs.
With very small question sets the benefit is limited too: too few questions mean large swings, and then every fluctuation looks like a trend. Where that applies, we say so before any contract.
Common questions
About monitoring.
What exactly gets measured on an ongoing basis?
Per question and system: whether you are named, whether linked, in what position, which source the system cites and who else appears. Separated by region, because the answer differs by location.
At what interval do you measure?
Monthly as standard, fortnightly for fast-moving topics. More often rarely adds insight, because the variation between two queries exists anyway and only smooths out across several points.
How do we tell a real change from noise?
Through repetition. We run each question several times per round and look at the trend across at least three rounds. A single spike does not count as a change here, and we do not report it as one.
Do we get alerts when things drop?
Yes, when an existing mention disappears across several rounds or a new provider settles into the set. Deliberately not on every fluctuation, otherwise the alerts get ignored.
Do you track competitors as well?
Yes, they show up in the measurement anyway. We record who gets named on your questions and what the mention rests on. A dedicated competitor set can be added.
What does the quarterly report look like?
Trend per question and system, interpretation against competitors, a recommendation for the next quarter, and a list of what we implemented. Measures with no visible effect are explicitly included.
Can we pause the monitoring?
Possible, but a pause tears a hole in the series. The missing period cannot be reconstructed afterwards, because the answers from back then are gone. If you need to save, measure less often rather than stopping temporarily.
Does monitoring require an audit first?
It requires a baseline. Either you have one from an audit, or we capture it in the first month of monitoring. Without a reference point the later numbers cannot be interpreted.
Can you feed the data into our own dashboard?
We deliver raw data in an open format so you can pull it into your own reporting. A finished connection to a specific tool only gets built when that is agreed in the project.
What about data protection in the queries?
The queries contain no personal data, only questions about topics and providers. They run through the respective providers, which the privacy policy sets out. We publish results only with your approval.
What does an additional system in the set cost?
Effort rises roughly linearly per system, because every question gets queried and evaluated again. The tiers are on the pricing page. Usually more useful than many systems is picking the two or three your audience actually uses.
Difference
How others do this, and how we do.
Not a judgement on individual agencies, but a description of two approaches. The right column is checkable, because this website itself is built that way.
| Difference | Usual agency approach | agenticsearch.at |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | A proposal after a first call | A measurement with a date, before anything gets recommended |
| Basis | Keywords from classic search | A question set of real prompts, clustered and prioritised |
| Proof of success | Rankings and a visibility index | Mentions per question and system, with the raw data |
| Reporting | A monthly dashboard with curves | The same measurement repeated, change called only after three runs |
| When unsure | Try it and see what happens | We say what is not evidenced, and write it on the page |
| Tooling | Agency licences, access ends with the contract | The question set and the data are yours, afterwards too |
| Scope | As many channels as possible from one supplier | A capped number of concurrent projects, otherwise we turn it down |
Your guides
You play the lead.
You know your business, your customers and your offer better than any agency does. What is usually missing is solid numbers on how AI systems talk about it, and an order in which to tackle that.
Who is behind this
two people
- Florian Hieß measurement, technology, structure
- Romana Hieß day to day support and implementation
- Operated by Digital Wings GmbH, founded 2010
- Client projects 100+
The number of concurrent projects is capped. When a piece of work needs more capacity than exists, we turn it down rather than take it on.
01
You know where you stand
It starts with a measurement, not a proposal. You see in black and white which AI answers name your company and which do not, with a date and a question set.
02
You know what comes next
Instead of a list of everything, you get an order. Every step has a result you can verify yourself, including without us.
03
You keep the decisions
Your offer and your positioning stay yours. We tell you what stands in the way of visibility and take on the technical part of it.
Next step
Let us find out where you stand in AI answers.
One conversation, 30 minutes, no sales pressure. You leave with an honest read on whether this is worth the effort for you.
