Quick start

The fastest path from "I just heard about this" to "I have data." No credit card needed for evaluation — the free tier runs on our shared OpenRouter key with strict caps.

What you'll do

1. Sign up and verify your email
2. Create a workspace (your organization)
3. Add your brand + a few competitors
4. Add a topic with the prompts your category cares about
5. Run your first scan and read the results

Total time: ~5 minutes. The scan itself takes 20–40 seconds depending on how busy the LLM providers are.

Step 1 — Sign up

Visit the marketing site, click Sign up, and create an account with your work email. You'll get a verification link — click it to activate.

If you don't see the email within a minute, check spam. Verification emails are sent through Resend; on rare occasions corporate mail filters delay them.

Step 2 — Create a workspace

After sign-in you land in the onboarding wizard. The first step asks for a workspace name. Use your company name — or, if you're an agency, the client's name. Workspaces are isolated: data, scans, billing, and team members all scope to the workspace.

Your workspace gets a URL like /<your-name>-<id>/dashboard. The trailing ID is permanent; renaming the workspace updates the slug part but never breaks old links.

Step 3 — Add your brand and competitors

Tell us who you are and who you compete with:

• Your brand — name, website, and any aliases (legal entity name, common misspellings, parent company). The "Suggest with AI" button next to the aliases field will pull from Wikipedia, your About page, news, and Crunchbase to suggest grounded aliases for niche or B2B brands.
• Competitors — names of 3–10 brands you want to see ranked against you. Same alias support.

The point of aliases: when an LLM mentions "Get Vocal Inc" or "GetVocal", we still count it as you. Without aliases, we'd miss those variants.

Step 4 — Add a topic

A topic groups the questions your category gets asked. For example, if you're a voice AI platform for healthcare, your topic might be "Voice AI for healthcare" with prompts like:

• "What's the best voice AI platform for healthcare?"
• "How do I add voice to my healthcare app?"
• "Voice AI HIPAA compliance — what should I look for?"

The wizard generates a starter set of prompts using AI. Edit them, keep what fits, delete what doesn't.

Step 5 — Run your first scan

Once your topic has prompts (we call them queries in the UI), hit Run scan on any one of them. The scan sends the prompt to all four LLMs in parallel — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity — and stores every response.

You'll see results on the WOW page: per-platform cards showing each LLM's full response, with mentions of your brand and competitors highlighted. Click into any mention to see the surrounding sentence — the context matters as much as the count.
