Grounded Search Visibility

What AI says when it searches, and where it gets it

Modern models go beyond memory: they search the web mid-answer. We run every topic both ways and capture the sources behind the grounded answer, so you see your rank alongside the pages feeding it.

Base and grounded, side by side

Each model runs twice a day, so you can tell what it believes from what it just read.

Base run

The model answers from its own training, its baked-in view of your market. This is what it recalls about you on its own, before any live search result.

Grounded run

The same prompt, this time with live web search switched on. This is the answer a real user sees today, shaped by whatever is ranking right now.

Cited sources

Grounded answers come with the pages the model actually pulled from. Those citations are your map of where to build presence to change the answer.

Compared against classic search

For every run we also pull a classic web search for the same question from Brave, and show it right next to the AI answers. Where the model and a traditional engine part ways, recommending different names or leaning on different pages, that gap is exactly where the opportunity, or the risk, sits.

  • Provider web search captured per grounded run
  • Every cited source listed and linked
  • Classic Brave results shown alongside for comparison
  • Spot where AI and search disagree at a glance

See who the models trust

Across every grounded run we gather the domains the models cite, rank them by how often they come up, and label each one, so you can tell a competitor from an independent publisher, a community site, or your own pages at a glance. It is a running map of the sources shaping AI answers in your market, and a shortlist of exactly who to reach out to. Aggregated per topic over time, so you see who is gaining ground.

  • Every cited domain ranked by how often the models lean on it
  • Each source labelled competitor, third party, social or owned
  • The exact pages linked, grouped by domain
  • Independent publishers that skip you become clear outreach targets
