AI is the new search engine. Are you visible?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini pull answers from pages they can crawl, parse, and trust, then cite the source. Everyone else gets skipped, and most sites fail at least one of the three without knowing it.

Draft a reply ▸

Suede Agent Studio

Turn a found thread into a real drafting agent

Run an audit, then scan for mentions and hit "Build this agent" on the results. It creates a real flow in Suede Agent Studio, an actual Claude call that drafts the reply, seeded from the thread you found. Scanning and posting still happen by hand; there's no node yet that can search or post to social platforms.

Suede Signal FAQ

What does Suede Signal actually check?

26 deterministic checks across five lanes: whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot) can read your site, whether llms.txt exists, metadata and Open Graph quality, JSON-LD structured data, passage-level citability, and trust signals like about pages and freshness markup.

Why does AI visibility matter?

A growing share of product discovery now starts in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews instead of a search results page. If the engines can't read your site, or can't find a citable passage on it, you don't exist in the answer.

Is my data stored?

No. Each audit runs read-only against your public pages at request time. Nothing is saved on our side.

How is this different from an SEO audit?

Classic SEO optimizes for ranked links. AI visibility optimizes for being quoted in an answer: crawler permissions, entity schema, question-shaped headings, and direct extractable passages. Some checks overlap; the intent doesn't.

Can I compare against competitors?

Yes. Add up to two competitor URLs and you get a lane-by-lane comparison showing exactly where you lead and where you're losing the answer.

Can I automate Mention Watch instead of doing it by hand?

Partly. After a scan, "Build this agent" creates a real agent in Suede Agent Studio, our visual agent builder. It drafts the reply with an actual Claude call instead of a template, seeded from the thread you found. Scanning and posting still happen by hand; Agent Studio doesn't yet have a node that can search social platforms or post to them.
