The Problem

Brands obsess over Google SEO. But nobody was tracking how they show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — where millions of buying decisions now start. If a customer asks "What's the best CRM for dentists?" and your brand isn't in the answer, you just lost a lead you never knew existed.

The Solution

Built a real-time brand visibility monitoring platform from zero — solo.

  • DataForSEO APIs pull live SERP and AI-search results
  • LLM-powered scoring evaluates brand mention quality, sentiment, and positioning
  • React dashboard gives enterprise teams a clean, real-time view of their AI-search footprint
  • Java backend handles data pipelines, caching, and API orchestration at scale

The Result

  • Solo-built from architecture to production deployment
  • Monitors brand visibility across generative search engines most analytics tools ignore
  • Iterated through multiple versions using the same build-measure-learn loop as a seed-stage startup
