Use Cases for Business Operators¶

1. GEO Monitoring Dashboard¶

Monitor how your brand appears in AI-generated answers. As AI search becomes the dominant discovery channel, this is the equivalent of 2010-era SEO rank tracking.

Agent prompt: "Check our MentionsAPI for 'CorpusIQ' mentions across all platforms this week"

2. Competitor AI Visibility¶

Track competitor AI citations to identify gaps in your own GEO strategy.

Agent prompt: "Show me competitor AI visibility scores and where they're being cited vs us"

3. Content Gap Analysis¶

Identify which queries send traffic to competitors but not you, then brief your content team.

4. Crisis Monitoring¶

Set up automated checks for negative brand mentions in AI responses.

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

Pair MentionsAPI with CorpusIQ's analytics connectors (GA4, Search Console) for a complete picture:

MentionsAPI → tracks AI-platform visibility
GA4 → tracks organic traffic from AI platforms
Search Console → tracks which queries trigger AI Overviews

Together they give you the full AI-visibility-to-conversion funnel.

Pricing¶

Pay-as-you-go pricing with $1 free signup credit. No monthly minimums. Pricing scales with query volume.
