Getting Started with Surmado AI Visibility

Surmado AI Visibility 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.

AI Visibility 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.

How Pricing Works

Each AI Visibility report costs $50 per job. Pro ($99/mo billed annually or $150 month to month, 5 jobs/month) and Pro+ ($199/mo billed annually or $250 month to month, 10 jobs/month) are available for teams that need regular reporting — both also include a managed website.

Note: Every AI Visibility 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

AI Visibility 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.
