Methodology

How the data is gathered, and what it can’t tell you.

MentionSight measures sampled coverage: the answers AI platforms give to the prompts you track. Here is what that means, and where its limits are.

How the data is gathered

  1. You choose the prompts

    Your team picks the questions that matter to your buyers and groups them by topic or persona.

  2. We ask where your buyers are

    AI answers change by country, not only by language. Each prompt runs on the platforms you monitor, phrased the way a local buyer would ask, with native-language prompts in more than five languages.

  3. Personas change the question

    Persona tracking asks the same question as different audience profiles, because answers can change with who is asking.

  4. Collected on a fixed schedule

    Answers are collected weekly, or daily on custom plans. Visibility figures refresh every week, so you compare like with like.
