Getting startedYour first run

Your first run

A run is one full pass where AnswerScout asks every assistant on your plan all of your prompts, reads the answers, and scores them.

What to expect

  • A run takes a few minutes to finish — each assistant has to search the web and answer every prompt.
  • You’ll see progress update as it goes; the dashboard fills in once it completes.
  • AnswerScout runs once per day automatically, so your trend builds over time. Your first run is the first data point.

Your visibility score gets more meaningful with a few days of runs behind it. The trend matters more than any single day — see The visibility score.

What you’ll see when it’s done

  • Your visibility score for the day and how it breaks down.
  • Each assistant’s view of your brand — who recommends you and who doesn’t.
  • Where you stand against your competitors.
  • The prompts that are working for you and the ones where competitors win.
  • Citations — the web sources the assistants leaned on when answering.

Why the first day can look low

On day one you’re seeing a single snapshot. AI answers vary run to run, so AnswerScout smooths your displayed score across recent runs to filter out day-to-day noise. With only one run, there’s nothing to smooth yet — give it a few days before reading too much into the number.
