We've got five updates this month, focused on showing your AI visibility in sharper detail. They cover Ads tracking, location settings, prompt discovery, brand settings, and recommendations.

Here's everything that's new.

Ads Intelligence Dashboard

See where ads show up inside the AI answers you track. 

The new Ads Intelligence dashboard scans every prompt on your list and surfaces the ones returning sponsored placements.

It shows you:

• How many of your tracked prompts have ads running

• Which competitor brands appear in those placements

• A ranked list of brands by coverage, prompts, and ad cards seen

A heads-up before you check: ads are still rare. They sit in under 1% of responses today, mostly in English-speaking markets, so a near-empty dashboard right now is normal.

Turn it on anyway, for one reason: timing. 

The first competitor to buy placements around your prompts won't tell you they did. You want to catch it the week it happens, not the quarter after.

Do this: Open Ads Intelligence, then check back once a month.

State-Level Location Tracking

Visibility data used to stop at the country-level data. You could see how you ranked across the US as a whole, but not how that split between California and Texas. 

Well, not anymore.

Now you can add specific states for the US, Canada, India, and Australia and read your visibility region by region.

This matters because a national average hides your weak spots. Strong in one state, invisible in another, and the single number quietly splits the difference. State-level breaks it open so the gap shows up somewhere you can act on it.

Do this: Go to Brand settings, add your two or three biggest markets and compare them side by side. Fix the one that's lagging first.

Rebuilt Prompt Discovery Engine

Prompt Discovery is a full rebuild this month. The old version suggested prompts that just contained your brand or keywords. 

The new one studies how people actually search your category and recommends prompts that match real buyer questions, so your tracked list reflects what customers ask, not what you guessed they'd ask.

Do this: Re-run discovery on any list you set up more than a month ago. Swap out the prompts nobody searches for the ones people actually do.

Brand Name Variations

Your brand rarely shows up the way you spell it on your homepage, and exact-match tracking only ever caught one version. Every alternate spelling, sub-brand, and localized form went uncounted.

Now you can add the rest.

In Brand Settings and on your Brand Rankings page, add any variation of your name:

• Alternate spellings

• Separate product names

• The forms your brand takes in non-English markets

Mentions then get counted across all of them, so your visibility reflects every time you were named, however it was written. 

Do this: List every variation in Brand Settings. If you run multiple products or sell outside English-speaking markets, this is the update most likely to move your numbers.

Smarter Recommendations

The Recommendations tab now sorts itself by impact. 

Instead of a flat to-do list, it ranks your content and Get Mentioned actions by what's most likely to move visibility, based on where you're already cited and where you aren't. 

Publishing and outreach sit in one prioritized queue instead of two piles you have to reconcile.

Do this: Work the tab top-down. The order is the priority, start at the top and don't overthink it.

We're not done with this tab. More is landing soon.

Smaller Updates

• Weekly and monthly graph views. Every graph now supports weekly and monthly views, not just daily, so longer trends are easier to read.

• UI and UX cleanups. Several pages, including the main dashboard and settings, are faster to move through.

What's Coming Next

Already in build:

• The AIclicks API

• Sharper recommendations for mention outreach

• AIclicks Sentiment 2.0

• AIclicks Content Writing Agent 2.0

Turn on Ads Intelligence this month, even if the dashboard looks empty for a while. The data it collects starts accruing the day you flip the switch, and you'll want that head start the moment competitors' AI ads become something you actually need to track.

That's all for June. Got a feature you want to see next? Send it our way on our feature request board, we read every one. Enjoy!
