The same 50 questions, every week

Each Benchmark asks every controlled market question once on all five platforms. Four weekly snapshots show what persists and what actually changed.

A snapshot first, an observed range over time

One Benchmark shows the current result. As weekly evidence accumulates, you see the four-week average, observed range and direction without false precision.

Five platforms, scored separately

A blended score hides the platform where you are at zero. We show all five. The zeros are impossible to miss.

Evidence becomes a test, not a promise

Every opportunity separates the observed answers, expert rationale, suggested test, evidence strength and next measurement. The evidence is visible; the outcome stays open until it is measured.

What is AI visibility?

How often AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews name your business when someone asks the questions your customers ask. It is a different measurement from search rankings. A business can rank #1 on Google and almost never be named by AI.

Is this the same as SEO?

It is related but not the same. We connect gaps observed in AI answers with established SEO, local search, content and technical practices. Each opportunity names the tool, source, expert rationale and next test. That makes the guidance useful without pretending any change is certain to improve a ranking.

AI gives a different answer every time. How can you measure that?

One answer can move. That is why every Benchmark asks the same 50 controlled questions across all five platforms, then repeats the full Benchmark each week. One week shows the current snapshot; four comparable weeks show what is persistent, what changed and the range we actually observed over time.

Can I actually influence what AI says about me?

You can improve the information AI tools can find and evaluate. Each opportunity starts with what the tool actually answered, adds an expert rationale, and suggests one measurable test. The next weekly Benchmark tells you what moved and what stayed the same. It never promises the tool will change its answer.

Can you guarantee my visibility will improve?

No, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. We show observed gaps, explain why established SEO and content practice makes each one worth testing, label the evidence strength and re-measure the same questions. If nothing changes, the report says so.

Is Kensume SEO software?

Kensume is AI search visibility software: it measures how often ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews name a business when people ask the questions its customers ask, and shows the answers and cited sources behind every number. It is not a rank tracker, a crawler or a backlink index, so an SEO or content team can use it alongside tools like Semrush or Ahrefs rather than instead of them.

How long does setup take, and do we need outside help?

The free scan takes a few minutes: name the business, confirm the account email, state your relationship to the business and start the first Benchmark. There is no implementation project, nothing to install and no data to migrate. A paid plan adds scheduled Benchmarks and findings on the same account; selected-platform rechecks are included on the Full Benchmark and Agency Full Benchmark packages, not on Market Check, Market Monitor or Agency Monitor; a recheck pack can be added to any paid package once it is offered. A solo founder, a small business or a marketing team can run it without an agency or a consultant.

Is there an API, and what does Kensume integrate with?

No public API today, and no chat, email or calendar integrations. Agencies import clients from a CSV and share reports by link; every answer, source and score is visible in the app and on the report. If your team needs an export beyond that, tell us at support@kensume.com.

How do you handle security and our data?

Traffic is encrypted in transit; accounts verify their own email address and record who is authorized to manage each business; no scan runs anonymously. We store the AI answers we collect and your results so you can audit every score. Kensume does not hold a SOC 2 report today and does not claim one; the privacy policy and terms state exactly what is collected and kept.

Who is Kensume for?

Business owners can see the plain-language priorities. Executives and marketing leaders can track markets and evidence over time. Marketing teams, operators and agencies can use the exact sources, suggested tests and next measurements to plan the work.

Why do I need scores for each platform separately?

Because the platforms disagree. Each assistant reads its own sources and answers the same question differently, so a business can be the recommendation on one platform and never named on another. A single blended score hides exactly the zero you need to know about.

What do I get in the free scan?

One complete 50-question Benchmark across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, with your current visibility and competitive position. Detailed evidence, weekly tracking and recommendations come with a subscription. No credit card needed.

How long does it take?

A couple of minutes to set up. We check the same 50 questions once on each of five platforms, all in parallel. Most results should arrive in minutes; provider delays are shown honestly instead of being turned into zero scores.

What is the difference between a Market Check, a Market Monitor and the Full Benchmark?

A Market Check ($49 a month) asks 15 of the 50 market questions on all five AI tools once a month, the same 15 for every business in your market, and keeps its own history. It is the price-accessible way to see whether AI visibility deserves your attention, and it is not the official Benchmark. A Market Monitor ($119 a month) asks all 50 questions twice a month and is the official Benchmark series. The Full Benchmark ($249 a month) asks all 50 every week with four selected-platform rechecks per cycle. Upgrading starts the fuller series; everything measured before stays visible and unchanged.

How many markets can I monitor at a time?

Market Check, Market Monitor and Full Benchmark each monitor one market at a time. Choose any supported market, whether or not it has been scanned before, and change which markets you monitor without losing history. Packages that monitor several markets at the same time are listed under the three cards on the pricing page, with an estimator that shows the exact monthly and annual total for the number you need.

What do agencies get?

Two agency packages on the same ladder: Agency Monitor ($299 a month), Agency Full Benchmark ($549 a month). Each includes 2 client markets, adds more at its own per-market price, and stores an unlimited number of client workspaces with their history, each kept separate, with CSV client import, the agency portfolio view, client-branded reports and share links, and one bill. Change which client markets you monitor without losing history. Kensume supplies measurement and decision evidence, not done-for-you remediation, and never promises a ranking.

Is annual billing cheaper?

Every plan is billed monthly, and the charge is stated exactly on every card: Market Check is $49 a month; Full Benchmark is $249 a month; Agency Full Benchmark is $549 a month. Annual billing is not sold to new customers right now; existing annual plans are unchanged. Cancel anytime; you keep what you paid for through the end of the period.

Can anyone run a report on any business?

Not anonymously. Before any scan runs, free or paid, the account verifies its own email address (any address works) and states how it is connected to the business, as its owner, an employee, an outside marketer or an agency, with a recorded statement that it is authorized to manage it. What we measure is public: what AI tools say when asked. No email at the business's domain, no DNS record and no invitation from the business is needed, so an agency or an outside marketer can measure every client they manage.
