Sound familiar?

No idea how AI sees your brand

You can't tell whether ChatGPT or Gemini mentions your company, so the problem keeps getting postponed.

More "I found you via AI" customers

AI-driven inquiries are growing. You feel the shift, but don't know where to start.

Good SEO rankings, fewer responses

Users may be reading only the AI answer shown above the search results and never clicking through.

Competitors keep appearing in AI answers

Nobody tells you what's different about your site, or what sources the AI actually reads.

Overseas tools are pricey and awkward

Clunky Japanese UI and little fit for the Japanese search landscape make adoption hard.

Want to start small and measure first

Measure where you stand before committing to a big budget or a consulting contract.

The first step is knowing how AI sees you. With AgentSignal, you can measure it today.

Measure

Know where you stand, every day.

We ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude real questions daily and measure how often your site gets cited.

From a single URL to a full citation report

Enter a URL and AI drafts the questions your customers would ask. Pick them and we query ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude for real — reporting citation rate, your rank, and cited domains. The demo below uses the exact same components as the product.

BStructured data

💡 Add structured data such as FAQ, Article, or Product only when that content actually exists on the page. Adding it to a page without the matching content is treated as spam by Google (and hurts you), so only apply it when the relevant content is present.

FAQ

What is AIO (LLMO / GEO)?

It is optimization aimed at getting generative AIs like ChatGPT and Gemini to cite and recommend your site when composing answers. Also called LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) or GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — the next arena after SEO, competing for a place inside AI answers rather than search rankings.

How is this different from SEO?

SEO targets rankings on search results; AIO targets citations inside AI answers. Rank trackers cannot see inside AI responses. AgentSignal asks the AIs real questions and measures whether you are cited — a baseline SEO tools cannot measure. It runs alongside SEO, and many tactics (like structured data) help both.

AI answers change every time — can I trust the numbers?

We ask each question multiple times and report citation as a ratio, tracked daily, so single-run variance is smoothed out.

How much does it cost?

Start on the free plan; paid plans start at ¥2,980/month (tax incl.). All prices are public — no custom quotes needed. Save 15% with 6-month and 30% with annual upfront billing.

Is the tag required?

Citation measurement and URL checks work without any tag. Only AI visit and AI traffic analytics need a one-line tag.

Can I keep using the free plan?

Yes. Use the free tier for URL checks and measurement, and upgrade whenever you need more.

How long until I see results?

Your current standing is measurable from day one. Improvements typically take weeks to months to reflect, depending on when AIs re-crawl and re-learn — which is exactly why recording daily trends around each change matters.

Can I see competitors' citation status too?

Yes. Domains cited in AI answers are ranked with competitors included, down to which competitor page (URL) is taking the citations — ready to use for competitive research.

Can I measure multiple sites or domains?

Yes. Depending on your plan you can register multiple projects and measure citation rate, competitor rankings, and AI traffic separately per domain — suitable for agencies and multi-brand teams.

Can agencies use it for client reporting?

Yes. Manage multiple domains as separate projects and export check results as PDFs for client reports. There is also a partner (affiliate) program with referral commissions.

Do you support invoice-based (bank transfer) payment?

We currently support credit card payments via Stripe. If you need invoice billing, please reach out via the contact form.

Will you support new AI models as they launch?

Yes. We continuously update measurement targets as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude ship updates and new models.

Is my data used to train AI models?

No. Data sent to AI for analysis is used for measurement only, via APIs configured so vendors do not train on the content. We never sell your data to third parties.

Will the tag affect my site or visitors?

The tag is a single async script that never blocks rendering. Citation measurement and URL checks work without installing anything at all.

Is there a minimum contract period or lock-in?

None. Monthly plans renew month to month and you can cancel anytime (your plan stays active until the end of the billing period) — a key difference from tools built around 6-month or annual contracts.
