For Multi-Location & Franchise Groups

Four of six
locations
are invisible to AI.

Your best location proves the metric is achievable. Your worst four prove it is not being managed. This measures each site against its own local competitors — and the gap between them is the most actionable number in your marketing.

01The problem

Your locations are not performing equally and you cannot see why.

Brand-level reporting hides location-level failure. A group average of 45 can be two strong sites and four invisible ones — and the four are the ones losing local demand.

There is no national AI visibility. Every market is answered separately, which means a group-level number tells you almost nothing useful.

A Tuesday at a six-location group.

The report that made the internal case.

Tuesday · Ray, marketing director

Group-level reporting looks acceptable. Two locations are quietly under-performing on local demand and nobody can explain why — the playbook is identical everywhere.

The gap

Every tool he has reports at brand level. AI answers do not work that way — each market is answered separately, so a group average is close to meaningless.

Per-location AI-visibility scoring

Each location scored against its own local competitors, with a confidence band, ranked so you can see which sites drag the group. The internal spread is the actionable number.

Three ways to measure this across locations.

An enterprise platform, a per-location agency, or one seat. Including the two things that will matter to you.

Option A

Marketing agency

Per-location agencies: $1,500–5,000/mo each
  • Rarely measures AI visibility
  • Competitor watch not in scope
  • Direction on a monthly call
  • Writes content — in 2–4 weeks
  • Manages reviews and posting
  • You own the content — check the contract
Real expertise, real cost. You wait on someone else’s calendar, and the knowledge leaves when they do.
Option B

Four separate tools

~$180–290 / month
  • Tracks AI visibility
  • Listening is enterprise-priced
  • You interpret all of the data
  • Generic content unless you prompt well
  • Four logins, none share context
  • You own everything you make
Cheaper than an agency — but you become the integration layer, and that’s the job you didn’t want.
Built for a business like yours Option C

ScoutRival

One seat · see pricing →
  • Two engines, labelled — re-check any day
  • Nine channels + founder-level tracking
  • A daily brief with one clear action
  • Content in your voice, drafted in ~90 seconds
  • Branded graphics + one-click WordPress
  • Yours forever — export anytime
  • **Five-brand cap** — above five locations, this needs a conversation before you sign
  • **Not a white-label platform** — our branding on reports, no custom domain, no SSO
The last two are deliberate. We’d rather you knew now than found out in month two — everything else is in one seat.

The cap is the one that matters for a group and it is the first thing to establish. If you run twelve locations, tell us and we will talk about how to structure it properly rather than discovering the ceiling in month one. Enterprise expectations on SSO, security review and contracts may also exceed what a $149 plan implies.

09FAQ

Everything owners ask before they start.

What exactly do I get on day one?
Every location scored individually against its own local competitors, ranked so you can see the spread, plus a 31-criterion audit per site, per-market competitor monitoring across nine channels, and content generation per location in one brand voice. Per-brand access scoping so local managers see only their own site. About a minute per location to scan.
We run more than five locations. What then?
Tell us the number before you sign. The Agency plan includes five brands and five seats, with extra seats at $25 each. Above five locations we need a conversation about structure — we would much rather have it now than have you discover the ceiling in month one. That is the single most important thing to establish for a group.
Which AI engines do you check, and how?
Two, and we label which is which. ChatGPT runs web-grounded, so it cites live sources and we show you those citations. Gemini runs as a memory probe — what the model already believes about your market, without citations. They’re deliberately different signals, and reading them together tells you more than a single number would.
Is the score something I can trust and act on?
Yes — because we show you the working. You get a weighted 0–100 score with a confidence band, share of voice against the competitors you actually have, and the receipts behind every answer. AI answers shift between runs, so we show the band rather than a false-precision ranking — and you can re-check any day to watch it move.
I already pay an agency. Does this replace them?
It can, and plenty of owners use it that way. But the sharper move is to ask your agency what your AI-visibility score is. If they have an answer, keep them — you have a good agency. If they don’t, you’ve found the gap, and one seat gives you an independent instrument to measure their work every month for a fraction of the retainer.
What does one seat actually include?
AI-visibility tracking across both engines, nine-channel competitor monitoring with founder-level LinkedIn, the daily brief, content generation in your voice, branded graphics from a 330-design library, long-form articles with one-click WordPress publishing, a 31-point site audit, and Google Search Console plus Bing traffic. On Pro and Agency you can connect your own AI key and generate at zero credit cost. [See the full comparison →](/pricing)
How soon will I show up in AI?
Honestly: it compounds, and nobody can promise a date. Publishing the content that answers your buyers’ questions is what earns citations over the following weeks. What you get on day one is the measurement — exactly which prompts you’re missing and the actions most likely to change it. Anyone promising an overnight “#1 in ChatGPT” is guessing.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Start free — no card, and the scan costs nothing. Paid plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee, you can cancel anytime with no lock-in, and everything you generate exports as HTML, Markdown, PDF or plain text. What you create is yours whether you stay or not. Two things to establish first: the five-brand cap, and that this is not a white-label or enterprise platform — no custom domain, no SSO. If either is a requirement, say so before we go further.

Partner programme

Franchisor rather than operator?

If you supply marketing to franchisees, the partner programme pays recurring commission on every location that signs — reviewed individually, with the rate set on fit.

  • Recurring commission, not one-off. You earn every month they stay, not just on the first payment.
  • Your rate is set on fit. Reviewed individually on your audience and authority — not a flat rate everyone gets.
  • A link that does the work. Send this page. The free scan gives them a specific finding in about a minute — no demo call to book.
  • Nothing you have to defend. Two engines, labelled. No invented rankings. We say what the product doesn’t do, so you’re never the one over-promising.
  • A 30-day attribution window and a partner dashboard showing clicks, signups and earnings.
