Answers about the AI-mention audit

The questions financial advisors ask before they run the free audit — what it measures, how the score is computed, which engines are checked, what the deliverable looks like, and what it costs.

What does the AI-mention audit actually measure?

It measures whether AI search engines name your business when buyers ask the kinds of prompts your customers use — across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. The output is a 0–100 Visibility Score plus per-engine breakdown, the top competitors beating you, and a crawlability check.

How is the AI Visibility Score calculated?

We weight three signals: how often AI mentions your brand (40%), the ranking position when it does (30%), and the contextual relevance of the surrounding answer (20%). The weighted sum is normalized to a 0–100 score, with per-engine sub-scores for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI so you can see exactly where you stand on each.

Which AI engines does MentionMint check?

MentionMint checks the four AI surfaces financial advisor buyers actually use: ChatGPT (via GPT-4o-mini), Anthropic Claude, Perplexity (sonar, real-time web search), and Google AI (Gemini and AI Overviews). Per-engine scores and verbatim responses are shown side-by-side so you can compare mention rates across them.

How long does a check take and how often does it run?

A one-time free audit finishes in under 60 seconds. Paid Starter subscribers get automatic weekly AI visibility re-checks (every Monday). Pro subscribers get daily re-checks, so you can see the score move the day after you ship a fix instead of waiting a week.

What do I actually get — what does the deliverable look like?

You get a 0–100 AI Visibility Score, a per-engine breakdown (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI), the verbatim AI responses for every prompt, the top three competitors beating you on each engine, a crawlability check, and the single highest-impact fix you can ship next. Pro subscribers get the full Fix Checklist instead of just the top item.

What should I do with the results?

Apply the #1 fix, wait for it to be picked up by AI crawlers (typically 1–2 weeks), then run another free audit to confirm the score moved. On Starter and Pro the re-audits are automatic, so you can monitor the trend weekly or daily and ship the next fix when the score plateaus.

How is this priced and what's included for free?

The free one-time audit costs $0 and gives you the score, per-engine breakdown, competitor comparison, crawlability check, and the #1 fix by email. Starter is $29/month with weekly re-audits, 15 tracked prompts, 1 tracked competitor, and a Monday email report. Pro is $49/month with daily re-audits, 30 tracked prompts, 3 competitors, the full Fix Checklist, and a monthly strategy summary. Cancel anytime.
