Sample data, made-up brands.

Build 15 prompts each for US English and Brazilian Portuguese, for Finance personas (CFO, Analyst) about Credit cards for Startups, and track them every week on ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Gemini.

What should we fix first? Check /client-reports against the FACT model and give me POEM recommendations too.

  • audit_page(url="/client-reports")
  • recommend(panel="pnl_agency_us", model="FACT", media=["paid","owned","earned"])

Four fixes, one for each part of the FACT model:

  • FFindable. GPTBot is blocked on /client-reports: allow it.
  • AAgent Accessible. Add FAQ and Organization JSON-LD to /client-reports.
  • CCitable. Answer "how much does it cost" in the first lines of /pricing.
  • TTrustable. Get more g2.com reviews: Contoso has 40 to your 6.

Run fixes F and A for me.

  • cms.update_file(path="robots.txt")
  • cms.update_page(url="/client-reports", head="FAQ + Organization JSON-LD")
  • audit_page(url="/client-reports")

Done, through your CMS connector. GPTBot can crawl /client-reports, and the page now carries FAQ and Organization schema. The re-audit scores it 78, up from 62.

Yes. Visits from AI assistants grew from 30 to 740 a month since May while direct and organic grew slowly, and revenue rose with them, to $38K in October. AI crawlers read the site five times as often as in May.

FAQ

AEO, GEO and the AI search API, explained.

What does the MoltMentions page audit API check?

It checks if AI bots can crawl a page, if the answer comes first, headings, schema markup, facts and sources, freshness and page speed. Add a prompt and it also tests if AI platforms cite the page. It returns a score out of 100 and a list of fixes. A page audit costs $0.23, so $5 audits 22 pages.

What is an AI search API and what should it return?

An AI search API is a programming interface that returns what AI platforms say about a brand. It should return the answer text, the brands named, the sources cited and a date, so you can track change week on week.

Which AI platforms does the MoltMentions API cover?

MoltMentions covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overview, built on DataForSEO AI Optimization data. ChatGPT Ads monitoring, Google AI Mode and Copilot are live too.

What can the MoltMentions prompt panel API tag and filter by?

Each prompt carries tags for topic, keyword, persona, brand kit, language, country, buyer intent, and type (branded, non-branded or blended). You can run a panel for any tag or any mix of tags, on any platform.

How quickly does the MoltMentions API return an answer?

MoltMentions runs on DataForSEO. Live mode returns in up to 90 seconds for ChatGPT and Gemini, and the standard queue returns in up to 45 minutes at lower cost.

How long does the MoltMentions API keep stored answers?

You choose 1, 3, 6 or 12 months of retention. Stored answers are queryable by brand, prompt, platform, source and date through the API and the MCP server, and in the dashboard on Monitor.

Can an AI agent use the MoltMentions API?

Yes. The hosted MCP server has 54 tools, and 53 of them only read data. Connect it to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client. You sign in with OAuth or use a personal access token.

What does ChatGPT Ads monitoring return?

ChatGPT Ads monitoring shows which advertisers appear in ChatGPT answers for your prompts, with the ad text and the date. It is live now. It costs 25 credits a request, which is 5 times a ChatGPT search.

How is answer engine optimization different from SEO?

SEO works to rank a page in a list of links. Answer engine optimization works to get a brand named and cited inside the answer an AI assistant writes. The two use different data, so they need different APIs.

Can the MoltMentions API show traffic and revenue from AI search?

Yes. Attribution links visits from AI sources to leads and revenue, and it can be used on its own or with visibility data.

Why should a brand monitor AI search every week?

AI answers change from week to week. Google Ads data via DataForSEO, pulled Nov 6, 2026, shows monthly US searches for "ai visibility tool" rose from 590 in Nov 2025 to 1,300 in Aug 2026, so the topic is moving fast and one snapshot goes stale.
