Audit supplied AI-answer snapshots for brand mentions, domain citations, competitor visibility, sentiment context, and visibility regressions.

This actor is snapshot-first by design. It does not call ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google, Bing, or any other live AI/search API. You provide answer text and citations captured from the AI surface you care about, and the actor returns deterministic visibility scoring and recommendations.

What It Checks

• Brand/entity mention count and whether the brand appears at all.
• Brand-domain citation coverage.
• Citation URLs and normalized citation domains.
• Competitor mentions and competitor citation domains.
• Brand share of voice across brand plus competitor mentions.
• Simple positive/neutral/negative brand context.
• Visibility score versus an optional previous baseline.
• Risk signals such as missing brand, missing citation, competitor dominance, uncited claims, and score regression.

Input Example

Set maxChargeUsd to a finite run budget. It defaults to $10; the actor stops before paid work or withholds uncharged reports when the next event would exceed the cap.

{
  "brandName": "junipr",
  "brandDomain": "junipr.io",
  "competitors": [
    { "name": "Apify", "domain": "apify.com" },
    { "name": "Diffbot", "domain": "diffbot.com" }
  ],
  "snapshots": [
    {
      "promptId": "ai-web-extraction-shortlist",
      "prompt": "Which tools should I evaluate for AI-ready web extraction?",
      "engine": "fixture-ai-answer",
      "answerText": "For AI-ready web extraction, teams often compare Apify, Diffbot, and junipr. junipr is useful for focused automation apps and structured exports.",
      "citations": [
        { "url": "https://junipr.io/apps", "title": "Junipr Apps" },
        { "url": "https://apify.com/store", "title": "Apify Store" }
      ],
      "previousVisibilityScore": 62
    }
  ],
  "includeReport": true,
  "maxSnapshots": 1
}

Output

Each dataset item represents one audited AI-answer snapshot:

{
  "promptId": "ai-web-extraction-shortlist",
  "status": "strong",
  "visibilityScore": 90.8,
  "previousVisibilityScore": 62,
  "visibilityDelta": 28.8,
  "brandMentioned": true,
  "brandMentionCount": 2,
  "brandDomainCited": true,
  "brandCitationCount": 1,
  "citationDomains": ["apify.com", "junipr.io"],
  "competitorMentionCount": 3,
  "shareOfVoice": 0.4,
  "sentiment": "positive",
  "riskSignalCodes": ["competitor-dominates"],
  "recommendations": ["Map the competitor terms appearing in the answer and publish differentiated proof points for those comparison intents."]
}

When includeReport is enabled, the actor also writes:

• AI_SEARCH_VISIBILITY_RESULTS.json
• AI_SEARCH_VISIBILITY_SUMMARY.json
• AI_SEARCH_VISIBILITY_REPORT.md

Limits And Safe Defaults

• Default run audits at most 10 snapshots.
• Hard cap is 100 snapshots per run.
• Default answer cap is 200 KB per snapshot.
• Hard answer cap is 1 MB per snapshot.
• The default input uses a tiny fixture so local QA does not consume Apify credits.

Limitations

• The actor does not fetch AI answers; it audits snapshots you provide.
• Sentiment and scoring are deterministic heuristics, not legal, SEO, or brand-performance guarantees.
• Citation coverage is only as complete as the citations supplied in the input.
• It cannot prove AI search market share or ranking unless you provide representative prompt snapshots over time.

Safe Use

Only upload answer snapshots and citations you are authorized to analyze. Do not include private customer data, credentials, personal account context, or unreleased confidential prompts in inputs.
