Getting Started with Surmado Signal
Surmado Signal tests how 7 AI platforms talk about your business: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, Grok, and DeepSeek.
Surmado does not sell AI placements and cannot submit your site to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Meta AI, Grok, or DeepSeek. No one can. We test how these systems already talk about you and give you a plan to improve.
Signal works best when you give us a persona, like “busy mom looking for a pediatrician in Denver.” We write prompts that sound like your real customers, not generic “best X near me” searches.
Essential vs Pro
| Essential | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $25 (1 credit) | $50 (2 credits) |
| Personas | 50+ base prompts | 50+ prompts + analysis |

How Credits Work
You pay for a Signal report with credits. 1 credit = $25. Essential uses 1 credit. Pro uses 2 credits. The $100 bundle gives you 6 credits you can use for any mix of reports.
Note: Every Signal report automatically feeds Surmado Scout. Ask Scout to compare runs, identify trends, or get instant TLDR summaries—it remembers your brand and becomes smarter with each report.
API and Automation
Signal reports can be triggered via API and delivered via webhook. Automate monthly AI visibility checks with Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom integrations. Perfect for agencies running recurring checks for clients.
