Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on how ziptie.ai tracks AI search, what it measures, and how pricing works.

ziptie.ai tracks how AI search engines talk about your brand and finds the gaps worth closing. We monitor ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Bing AI Overview, and Google Gemini - capturing mentions, sentiment, citations, full responses, and competitor recommendations - then turn that data into ranked next steps.

What you get:

  • Answers captured from the live consumer products across all 7 major AI engines (not model API stubs)
  • An AI-powered Project Wizard that suggests the right prompts in minutes
  • AI Success Scores that prioritize what to optimize first
  • A content generation module that drafts AI-search-ready pieces with a built-in fact-check loop (add-on)
  • Public REST and MCP access, so AI agents can query your data directly (add-on)
  • Coverage in nearly every country

One loop in three steps: discover what the engines say, prepare the change, verify what followed.

  1. Discover. What do the engines say, and why? The Project Wizard interviews you, researches your business, and proposes prompts written the way your buyers ask. Each project runs its prompts in the country you pick, on the engines your workspace subscription includes, on its own cadence: daily, weekly or monthly. ziptie.ai keeps the full answer and the sources behind it, and reads whether you are named or cited, and how you are portrayed.
  2. Prepare. What should we change? The Action Center turns those answers into one queue per project, ordered by severity, then type, then age, and each item links to the screen where you do the work. With the Content Generation add-on, a gap becomes a brief and then a draft, written from material you supply.
  3. Verify. Did the answer move? Record the URL where a piece went live and see which engines cite it, mark the date on your AI Success Score trend, and read Search Console clicks and impressions alongside. You publish the change where you always do; ziptie.ai never touches your site.

Then the loop starts again: new prompts to track, fresh gaps in the queue, the next brief.

The core modules ship on every plan, each built to answer one question well:

  • Overview Dashboard - your visibility at a glance
  • Action Center - one ranked queue per project of what to look at next, each item deep-linked to the screen where you would act on it
  • Competitors - who AI recommends instead of you, and why
  • Prompts - the queries that move your business, monitored on schedule
  • URLs - every page AI cites, every time it cites it
  • LLM Trends - performance shifts across engines, side by side
  • Data Explorer - slices of one project side by side, such as branded against unbranded prompts, with every number opening the answers behind it
  • Search Console - clicks, impressions, CTR, average position, and your top queries and pages alongside your AI search data
  • Exports - CSV and Excel exports, module by module, plus a PDF snapshot report and a white-label client report with your logo and your client's, generated on demand and downloadable for 14 days. Action Center and Content Generation have no export
  • Project Wizard - guided chat onboarding that proposes the right prompts from your site
  • Team & roles - unlimited teammates with no per-seat fee, on Owner, Admin, User, or Guest workspace roles, with per-project Editor or Viewer access enforced on the server rather than hidden in the interface

Three optional add-ons extend the platform:

  • UGC Impact Analysis - the community platforms shaping AI answers, ranked by citations and trend, with a deep read of every cited Reddit thread and YouTube video, topic clusters, a topic graph, and suggested prompts
  • Content Generation - briefs and full pieces engineered for AI search, with a built-in fact-check and revision loop
  • Public API & MCP - REST and Model Context Protocol surface for BI tools, automations, and AI agents

More detail in the ziptie.ai main features and what makes ziptie.ai unique.

SEO and content teams who need to understand and influence how AI search engines describe their brand and products. Agencies use ziptie.ai to report on AI visibility for their clients. In-house teams use it to brief content writers and prioritize site changes. Founders use it to see whether AI is recommending them - or quietly handing customers to a competitor.

ziptie.ai is built for AI search end to end: the data model, the metrics, the scoring and the workflow. It sits beside your SEO suite rather than replacing it.

  • Specialized depth. Answers captured from the live products, an AI Success Score per engine, a deep read of the Reddit threads and YouTube videos the engines cite (UGC Impact Analysis), and content generation with a verification pass on every draft.
  • Built for action. Optimization workflows, not just dashboards. You finish a session knowing what to change.
  • Agent-ready. With the Public API & MCP add-on, a REST API and an MCP server let Claude Desktop, Cursor, and custom AI agents query your ziptie.ai data the same way your dashboards do.
