FAQ
Questions worth asking first
Mostly about time. The gap between changing a page and an assistant noticing is the thing this product is honest about and most of its category is not.
How long before AI assistants notice a change to my site?
Three to four weeks is the honest answer, and days is not. Assistants answer from a live search, so a page has to be crawled and indexed by the engine behind the assistant before it can be cited at all. That alone is usually days on an established site and longer on a new one. The model then has to actually choose your page over the ones it already names. If a tool tells you your AI visibility moved overnight, it is measuring the natural variation between two generative answers, not anything you did.
Why does Beseen only check once a week?
Because a more frequent number would be noise sold as insight. Ask the same assistant the same question twice in an hour and the answer can name different companies, so a daily chart of that is mostly measuring the model's own variance. A weekly cadence is slow enough that a change in the line is more likely to be a change in the world. It is also why a check that failed to reach one assistant is thrown away rather than published: a rate measured across three engines cannot be compared with one measured across four.
What do I actually get on day one?
The whole diagnosis, on the first check rather than the fourth. You get the questions your buyers ask, run against ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity every week, and for each one you see whether you were named, who was named instead, and the wording of the answer that did it. The same check writes a rewrite for every page of yours that already ranks and a brief for every page you do not have yet. Most sites find they are absent from questions they assumed they owned, and named nowhere on the ones their competitors are winning. The proof that your fixes worked comes later, because it has to. The list of what is wrong does not.
Is this SEO or something new?
Both, measured together on purpose. Your Google position and your citation rate in assistant answers move for related but different reasons, and the same page can rank third and be named by nobody. Beseen pulls both on the same run so a citation is never compared against a position taken a month earlier. If you already do SEO, this is the half of your visibility that your rank tracker cannot see.
Do I have to write the pages myself?
You or your tools do the writing, and Beseen tells you exactly what to write and why. Every gap comes with a copy-prompt: the question you are losing, which assistants named which competitors, what is missing from your side, and instructions written for a coding agent or a writer. Paste it into whatever you already use. Beseen deliberately does not publish to your site, because a tool with write access to your pages is a different and much riskier product.
Why not just add llms.txt and be done?
Because almost nothing reads it. No major assistant has committed to using llms.txt as a ranking or retrieval input, and the ones that answer from the live web are reading your pages the same way a search crawler does. The things that do matter are duller: whether your page can be fetched and rendered without JavaScript, whether it answers the question in the opening rather than the conclusion, and whether the claim is specific enough to quote.
What happens if my citation rate does not move?
You find out which of your assumptions was wrong, which is worth knowing. A flat rate after four weeks usually means one of three things: the page never got indexed, it answers a question nobody asked in those words, or the answer it gives is not quotable. The run data separates those. What it does not mean is that nothing happened, because a rate that held steady while a competitor's rose is a different result from one where nobody moved.
Can I track competitors?
They arrive on their own. Beseen records who is named on every question you track, so the competitor list is built from who is actually winning your answers rather than from a list you typed in. That regularly turns up companies a customer had not considered rivals, and occasionally confirms that the one they worry about is not being named either.
Still deciding
Starter opens with a 14-day trial, and the whole diagnosis arrives on the first check: the questions, who is named on each one, what is missing from your side, and the page that closes it. That is the part you can judge immediately. Whether a fix moved an answer is three to four weeks out, so it lands after the trial rather than inside it. For how the weekly loop fits together, how it works covers it end to end, and starting a trial takes a card but nothing is charged until day 15.
