Brand Workspace

A brand record with optional domain and industry context that anchors scans, advisor briefs, competitor tracking, and monitors to the same business surface.

Scan Intervals

Recurring monitors currently run on daily or weekly cadences. Manual scans can be triggered from the dashboard whenever you need a fresh snapshot.

Location Targeting

Scans are localized to a specific city, region, or country so you see the same results your local customers see — not a generic national average.

Rank Report

A timestamped scan result containing search findings, competitive context, and recommended actions. Recent runs are available in history and trend views.

Action Items

AI-generated recommendations derived from your rank data, competitor movements, and industry benchmarks. Each item includes an effort score and expected impact.

Alerts

Email notifications sent after scheduled monitor runs using the destination configured for that monitor.
