Pick Ahrefs Brand Radar to research how your brand and your competitors appear across AI answers, inside the Ahrefs SEO suite. Pick Check Your Website if AI tells buyers wrong facts about your company and you want your own page fixed.
Brand Radar is the AI visibility part of Ahrefs, an SEO platform with keyword research, backlink data, Rank Tracker and Site Audit. It measures mentions, citations and AI Share of Voice across hundreds of millions of prompts. Check Your Website reads one page the way AI reads it and compares what two AI models say with the facts you confirmed. Autopilot then changes the page in your code, after you approve its plan.
Who should pick Ahrefs Brand Radar
Ahrefs writes its plans for small businesses, freelance SEOs, marketing consultants and lean in-house marketing teams. Its home page also speaks to AEO specialists, who work on brand visibility in AI answers. The AI Visibility Index looks up any brand, product or category with no setup and no cap on domains. Custom Prompts track the exact questions your buyers ask, on the platforms and locations you choose, daily, weekly or monthly. Ahrefs says the index works best for brands already visible in AI search, and Custom Prompts suit lesser-known brands.
Brand Radar also tracks search demand, web mentions, Reddit, YouTube and TikTok. Every paid Ahrefs plan from Lite up includes Custom Prompts checks.
Who should pick Check Your Website
We built Check Your Website for small companies. Your site code is on GitHub or in Lovable. AI tells your buyers wrong things, such as the price, the country or what you do, because the page never says it. You want that page fixed, and nobody on the team reads SEO reports for a living. If you are an agency reporting on many clients, or you need share-of-voice dashboards, Ahrefs Brand Radar serves you better.

Where Ahrefs Brand Radar is ahead of us today
Brand Radar covers more AI platforms. The AI Visibility Index covers Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot, and Custom Prompts add Claude. We ask two models, OpenAI GPT and Anthropic Claude. If you need to know what Perplexity, Gemini or AI Overviews say about you, Brand Radar does it better than we do today.
Brand Radar is built for share of voice and citations. It counts mentions, citations, AI Share of Voice and impressions, and tracks sentiment against competitors. We track none of this. If you need to know who wins your category in AI answers, Brand Radar does it better than we do today.
Ahrefs is a full SEO suite. Keywords Explorer, Site Explorer for backlinks, Rank Tracker and Site Audit cover research, rankings and the health of the whole site. Always-on Audit alerts you to new issues. We check one URL at a time and do no keyword research, rank tracking or backlink analysis.
Ahrefs can also change pages for you. Patches, part of the Max Project Boost add-on, drafts fixes with AI and publishes them. Its help article lists titles and meta descriptions today, and the Patches page also names redirects and canonicals. It deploys through a JavaScript snippet or a Cloudflare worker, without touching your CMS. If your site has no repository and you want SEO tags changed, Patches does it better than we do today.
What we do that Ahrefs Brand Radar does not
We check each AI answer against the facts you confirmed. You confirm facts such as your price, your country and what you sell. The AI test asks GPT and Claude your buyers' questions three times each, in your market's language, with web search on. We found no check against your own confirmed facts on Brand Radar's pages.
Autopilot makes the change in your code. Our agent reads your code and writes a plan in plain words. After you approve it, a pull request arrives on GitHub or a change in Lovable. It changes schema, meta tags, robots, sitemap, llms.txt and JavaScript-only pages, and writes your confirmed facts into the page. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode can get the same findings from one sentence to copy.
We test each fix, then ask again every week. We test each fix on your live page, then ask AI the same question every week. You see the answers before and after side by side, and a new plan waits when something slips. Brand Radar's Custom Prompts also re-run your questions on a schedule you set.
Using both
Brand Radar shows who gets cited in your category. We fix the facts on your own page that AI gets wrong, so a small team can run both.
