Add your first brand
When you sign up, AnswerScout walks you through a short setup so it knows what to track. Here’s what each step does.
Enter your brand and website
Give AnswerScout your brand name and homepage URL. It scans your site to understand what you do and which category you compete in — for example “screen mirroring software” or “project management tools.”
You can adjust the category if the suggestion isn’t quite right. The category shapes the buyer questions AnswerScout tracks, so it’s worth getting close.
Review your prompts
Prompts are the buyer questions AnswerScout will ask the AI assistants — things like “what’s the best screen mirroring app for teachers?” AnswerScout suggests a starter set based on your category. Keep the ones that match how your buyers actually search, and remove any that don’t fit.
You can always add, edit, or swap prompts later. See Prompts.
Confirm your competitors
AnswerScout suggests competitors it found while scanning your space. These are the brands you’ll be measured against in every answer. Add the ones you care about most and drop the rest.
Prompts and competitors both count against your plan’s limits, which are shared across all your brands. See Plans & billing.
Start your first run
Once setup is done, AnswerScout kicks off your first run — it asks every in-plan assistant your prompts and scores the answers. This takes a few minutes.
