Step-by-Step

1

Create your first campaign

From the dashboard, click New Campaign.Give your campaign a clear name that describes what you’re monitoring. Good examples:
  • “Brand Monitoring - US Market”
  • “SEO Services - Q1 2026”
  • “Product Launch - AI Tools”
Select your industry category and preferred language.
2

Add your brand

Enter your brand name exactly as you want it detected in AI responses.
  • Primary name: Your main brand identifier (e.g., “Acme Digital”)
  • Domain: Your website URL (e.g., acmedigital.com)
  • Variations (optional): Alternative spellings or abbreviations (e.g., “ACME”, “Acme Digital Agency”)
Add variations if your brand is commonly spelled multiple ways. This improves detection accuracy across AI platforms.
3

Add keywords to track

Keywords are the questions and topics FAII will monitor across AI platforms and search engines.Think like a customer asking an AI for recommendations, not like an SEO targeting search terms.

Add at least 5 keywords to get meaningful insights. You can add more later.
You can import keywords in bulk via CSV upload. Go to Campaign Settings > Keywords > Import.
4

Add competitors

Adding competitors lets you see how your visibility compares. For each competitor, enter:
  • Competitor name: How they’re referred to in AI responses
  • Domain: Their website URL
We recommend tracking 3-5 competitors to start. You can always add more later.
Not sure who to track? After your first run, FAII will auto-discover competitors mentioned alongside your brand in AI responses.

  1. SERP Intelligence checks your Google rankings (2-5 min)
  2. Chat Intelligence queries all AI platforms with your keywords (5-15 min)

Tips

  • Run regularly: Set up automated monitoring (daily, weekly, or monthly) to track trends over time
  • More keywords = better insights: Start with 5, aim for 25+ as you learn what matters
  • Check all platforms: Your brand might be strong on ChatGPT but invisible on Perplexity - the dashboard shows you the full picture
  • Don’t panic about low scores: Your first run is a baseline. Track improvement over time.
