Siftly helps agencies track and improve AI search visibility across every client — monitoring how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews mention each brand, and proving the ROI of GEO work with experiments and reports. It's built for the agency reality of many brands, many competitors, and the need to show results to clients.

Track brand presence and visibility across all platforms
Why agencies need AI visibility tracking
Clients increasingly ask "are we showing up in ChatGPT?" — and most agencies can't answer with data. An agency that tracks brand mentions in ChatGPT and Perplexity can offer a service competitors don't, and prove it with numbers. Agencies that offer AI visibility tracking as a service are ahead of the curve — most of their clients have no visibility into what AI engines say about their brands.
What you can do with Siftly as an agency
- Track every client's mention rate, share of voice, and citations.
- Benchmark each against their competitors (competitor benchmarking).
- Run GEO experiments and report the lift (GEO ROI).
- Deliver white-labelable reports clients understand.

How agencies use Siftly across client portfolios
The agency workflow differs from in-house because the measurement and reporting cadence runs across multiple brands simultaneously.
Client onboarding — Run a baseline audit on day one: which prompts does the client's brand appear in, at what citation rate, with what sentiment? This creates the "before" snapshot every client relationship needs.
Monthly reporting — Export citation rate and AI share of voice trends per client. Compare against agreed benchmarks. Clients who haven't seen AI visibility measured before respond strongly to the before-and-after format — it makes the value of content investment concrete.
Competitive positioning — Agencies often manage brands in the same category as other clients (different brands, same vertical). AI share of voice data from Siftly shows the category landscape — which brands own the AI conversation and which have headroom — without revealing client-specific data across accounts.
Content briefing — Use citation gap analysis to brief content teams: which prompts is the client mentioned in at less than 20% rate where competitors are at 60%+? Those gaps are content opportunities with clear, measurable upside.
