Summary
WhyIQ AI Radar is an AI search visibility tracker built around a fixed bank of buyer questions put to AI answer engines. It reads back the sources each answer cited, so a brand or an agency watches a measured trend instead of a screenshot.
- Best for
- The growth lead or agency operator who wants a recurring, multi-engine AI citation read at a flat monthly price without per-engine gating.
- Not for
- Teams that only need a one-off audit, or buyers who want a tool that gates engines behind per-engine add-ons and is happy paying separately for each.
- From
- $29/monthbilled monthly
- Free tier
- PartlyA one-time free check, not ongoing tracking: 8 sample prompts the vendor picks x 5 engines, Citation Score, per-engine grid and top-5 competitor leaderboard. One per visitor, no account, no card; the result is ephemeral and expires from the active store after 30 days unless saved by signup.
What it does
- Monitors AI answers
- YesThe whole product is a weekly measured read of what AI answer engines said about a tracked domain.
WhyIQ AI Radar is an AI search visibility tool that measures whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI recommend your business
whyiq.ai/radar - Optimises your content
- PartlyFixes are derived from citation gaps and can be page-level ('rewrite this first paragraph'), but Radar does not audit pages you already have; that is the separate WhyIQ CRO Scanner.
AI Radar pairs every uncited prompt with a deterministic suggestion: pursue this G2 listing, rewrite this first paragraph, audit this Reddit thread.
whyiq.ai/radar - Generates content
- NoRadar produces measurements and a ranked action list; the vendor states the execution is the customer's.
Radar measures; the moves are yours.
whyiq.ai/docs/ai-radar/setup - Publishes to your site
- NoNo CMS or publishing integration is claimed anywhere; the only thing Radar publishes is the white-label client report to its own durable link.
Radar measures real citations by asking the real engines. Nothing on these screens is an estimate or a prediction
whyiq.ai/docs/ai-radar/setup - Technical AEO
- NoSchema, author bylines and crawler access are audited by the separate WhyIQ CRO Scanner's AI Citability Index, not by Radar.
The scanner's AI Citability Index is a structural readiness score. It audits your page for the on-page signals (FAQ schema, statistical density,…
whyiq.ai/radar - Done-for-you service
- NoSold to agencies as software they run themselves: per-client workspaces and white-label reports, no done-for-you work by WhyIQ staff.
AI Radar gives you the defensible number: every client tracked weekly across all 5 engines, multi-pass so the data is a band rather than a coin flip

What it reports
- Names the cited sources
- YesRecords the full ordered source list per answer, down to the specific third-party page or Reddit thread holding the slot.
Which third-party pages the answers lean on: the Reddit thread, the review site, the competitor comparison page.
whyiq.ai/radar/how-it-works - Competitor tracking
- YesA Competitors & sources view with share of voice against competing domains over any date range.
Competitors & sources (a Go deeper link on the Overview) shows who beats you, over any date range, and Queries is where you manage the questions.
whyiq.ai/docs/ai-radar - Brand sentiment
- YesPer-citation sentiment plus brand-attribute framing classified from the stored answer text and rolled up.
What the answers say you ARE: trusted, premium, technical, expensive, complex to set up.
whyiq.ai/radar/how-it-works - Recommendations
- YesAn Action plan pairs every gap with ranked actions anchored to the data point that triggered them, plus Foundations groundwork.
Everything to do, in two layers: this cycle's ranked actions (each anchored to the data point that triggered it), then the Foundations groundwork
whyiq.ai/docs/ai-radar - AI crawler analytics
- NoRadar measures engine answers, not server-side AI bot traffic; crawler access is a signal the separate CRO Scanner audits on a page.
WhyIQ AI Radar is the measured outcome. It records actual citations from real AI engines responding to real buyer prompts.
whyiq.ai/radar - Wrong answers about you
- NoAnswers are classified for framing and sentiment, not factual accuracy; no signal flags an engine stating something false about the brand.
Each appearance is classified from the stored answer text (top pick, listed option, mentioned, caveated, unfavorable)

Plans and signing up
- Prompt or credit allowance
- Yes30 questions weekly on SMB, 40 per client on Agency (x5 engines x3 passes = 600 queries), 8 sample prompts on the one-time free check; the bank may hold more than the scanned set.

whyiq.ai/radar/pricing - Countries
- YesA per-client target market picker localises the engine queries and the generated question vocabulary; new purchases default to the United States.
30 markets grouped by region. Pick where your buyers search from, not where your office is.
whyiq.ai/docs/ai-radar/setup - How often it checks
- YesWeekly on both paid tiers, with a customer-chosen weekday and UTC hour; the free check is one-time, and an off-cycle rescan costs a small fee.
Weekly tracking on every paid tier.

whyiq.ai/radar - Self-serve signup
