The tool diary

Week by week, what I tested and what I found. Names included only where I could verify the company; the clones don't get the courtesy.

Week 1: the dashboards

Two tools, both monitoring. Pretty charts, no action. If AI doesn't mention my client, a chart of that is just a sad chart.

Week 2: the clones

Two lookalike sites, nearly identical copy, no humans on either about page. When I asked for a customer reference, both went quiet.

Week 3-4: the real one

VisibilityOS: daily checks across four assistants, Google tracking, and actual pitching. My client's brand appeared in an AI answer inside three weeks. That's the whole game.
