Grow Your Website on Autopilot
Track how often AI answers name you, grow your DR, catch lost links, and find relevant link exchange matches while you build.
How this is measured
VerifiedDR asks ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI real buying questions on behalf of the websites it tracks, then records which brands each answer named and which domains it cited. This page counts 2,424 answers from 201 scans, one scan per website, refreshed August 15, 2026.
Only aggregates are published. The questions themselves, the answer text, and the identity of the websites that ran a scan stay private. A domain appears here only when answers from at least 3 different websites cited it, and a brand enters a ranking only when answers from at least 2 different websites named it.
