# WhyIQ AI Radar — Tracks whether AI answer engines cite your domain, week over week, with white-label client reports. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/whyiq-ai-radar (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-09-01 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. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://www.whyiq.ai/radar | | Price | from $29/month | | Free tier | Partly | A 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** · Yes — The 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 > — https://www.whyiq.ai/radar · Hero paragraph, first sentence under the headline 'Is AI recommending your business?' **Optimises your content** · Partly — Fixes 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. > — https://www.whyiq.ai/radar · Section §05 Why this matters, card 'Every gap comes with a next action.' **Generates content** · No — Radar produces measurements and a ranked action list; the vendor states the execution is the customer's. > Radar measures; the moves are yours. > — https://www.whyiq.ai/docs/ai-radar/setup · Step 6 'Read your first week', Key takeaway box **Publishes to your site** · No — No 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 > — https://www.whyiq.ai/docs/ai-radar/setup · Section 'What you're setting up', Good to know callout **Technical AEO** · No — Schema, 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.
