One business or a dozen clients, the starting point is the same: the questions people ask when they are choosing a product or service.
Local & service businesses
“best plumber in Austin, open on a Sunday”
See whether AI answers include your business for local buying questions. Find gaps in business information, reviews and the sources those answers cite.
SaaS & ecommerce
“best CRM for a five-person agency”
Discover which alternatives appear alongside your product, and which comparison pages or other sources support them. Use that evidence to prioritize your next improvement.
Agencies & consultants
“best accounting software for freelancers”
Check the questions that matter to each client. Bring answer evidence, practical tasks and a history of changes to your next review. Pro supports multiple brands.
See useful evidence before creating an account. When you’re ready to act on it, a paid plan adds guidance and ongoing checks.
Understand today’s answers
Enter a website, product page, app store link or brand name. For a local business, add the city. Review the business details Askwords finds before continuing.
A product page helps focus the check on a specific offer.
Askwords suggests questions based on your business and audience. Choose three for the free check, edit them or write your own. These buyer questions are your askwords.
Topic demand shows Google search volume, not AI prompt volume.
Your questions go to Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT and Gemini. See where you appear, open the answer evidence and inspect the brands recommended alongside you.
The free check is one snapshot across four AI answer engines.
Available on paid plans
On a paid plan, the evidence becomes tasks for your website, third-party visibility and technical access. Each task includes practical steps and the signals behind it.
You or your team carry out the improvements; Askwords guides the work.
Scheduled checks revisit your saved questions so you can compare later answers with earlier ones. Keep the question set consistent to make changes easier to interpret.
Engine coverage and check frequency depend on your plan.
When a scheduled check finds an apparent change, Askwords asks again before storing the new result. Notifications help you see where to investigate next.
A changed answer is evidence to review, not proof of what caused it.
Look around the full workspace: answers, action plans, sources, competitors, crawler access and AI traffic. Select any tab to open it.

You implement the recommendations. Traffic measurement requires adding the Askwords tag to your site.
A score summarizes your selected questions and the answers returned. Open the evidence to understand what it means for your business.
The answer links to your site or an identifiable page for your business.
Your brand is named without a citation belonging to your business.
Your brand was not found in this answer. Check which alternatives appeared.
Your brand appears first in the extracted recommendation shortlist.
A citation normally earns 100% credit, a name-only mention 45%, and an absence 0%. An identified source-only citation, where your page supports an answer recommending other brands without naming yours, earns 70%. A top pick adds 20 percentage points, capped at 100%.
Failed calls are excluded. Answer-engine weights are normalized over the engines with successful results. Additional Google topic checks can lift the question score through its remaining headroom; they cannot reduce it.
The weights are Askwords’ scoring choices, not measured shares of your customers. Compare similar question sets and coverage, and inspect the answers behind any movement.
The free check excludes Perplexity; the remaining weights are normalized for its four engines. Engine coverage varies by plan.
Not necessarily. Personal history, account settings, location and the timing of a question can affect the answer. Askwords collects responses without your personal account history so you can compare a consistent question set.
It is worldwide monthly Google search volume for the short topic behind a question. It provides context for choosing questions; it is not the exact question's volume or a measurement of AI-chat usage.
No. Askwords helps you find gaps, prioritize work and observe subsequent changes. Answer engines choose which sources and brands to include, and an improvement can take time to appear or may not change an answer.
Choose three questions and see where your business appears. Decide your next step with the evidence in front of you.
