Citation Seat. Starting a trial now puts a labeled seat on the homepage board at plan price, from the first minute — shown below the paid rows, where it does not rank. Cancel before your first charge and it comes down; pay, and it becomes a permanent bid. Verifying a site earns a $5 board credit, good for 14 days on that site's own row. Your fix pack drips during the trial — the FAQ and your top comparison page download, the rest unlock with your first payment or the moment you unlock early — and after that it is regenerated after your weekly scan when your losing prompts change.

Signup-first free audit. Running the free audit now takes a work email at your site's domain — we email a confirm link, and confirming it creates your account and, for the first person to do it for that domain, verifies them as its owner in the same step. Each domain still gets exactly one free scan, ever; ownership transfers now go through support instead of a second confirm.
Private competitor watches. Subscribers can add a private watch on any site — a competitor, anyone you want visibility into — and we scan it privately every week (Starter includes 2, Growth 10). Results live only on your dashboard: we never publish a watch, list it anywhere, or touch the watched site’s own public Visibility Index status.
AI Visibility Index and sponsored placements. Verified site owners can list their own score and report on a public, indexable Visibility Index alongside our editorial rankings, and buy a labeled sponsored placement ($1–$999,999, whole dollars). Anyone can buy a spot; verification is not required to sponsor. A bid buys placement only — it never includes a scan and never changes a score. Verification is a one-click email confirmation at your own domain; every domain still gets exactly one free scan, ever.
Custom prompts, re-scan now, and citation-grounded fix packs. Subscribers can edit any of their 15 buyer questions (a new version resets the trend baseline) and trigger a re-scan on demand (24-hour cooldown); the listings checklist now prioritizes domains ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews actually cite, and scan history gains a citation-share column. Weekly Slack digests and a CSV export of stored answers ship too.
Account management + Google sign-in. Sign in with Google alongside email links; nav now shows Account when signed in. Plan renewal dates and a weekly-email toggle on the account page. Rewritten Terms and Privacy.
Answer explorer and cited sources. Subscribers can now read every stored engine answer behind their score, per question, and see which domains ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite in their category.
Public launch of the free audit — 3 engines, live progress, emailed reports.
Paid plans: fix packs (FAQ page with JSON-LD, comparison drafts, listings checklist, llms.txt), weekly re-scans, and drift alerts.
