How do I set up EdenRank to track my brand in ChatGPT and Perplexity?

What do I need before starting?

Before you begin, have these ready:

• Your brand name and any common variations or misspellings
• A list of 3-10 key terms or topics you want to track (for example, "project management software" if that is your category)
• An email address to create your account
• No credit card is required for the free plan

How do I create my EdenRank account and add my brand?

1. Go to edenrank.com and click the sign-up button. Enter your email address and create a password.
2. Verify your email by clicking the confirmation link sent to your inbox.
3. After logging in, click "Add Brand" or the equivalent button on your dashboard.
4. Type your brand name exactly as you want it tracked. Add any alternative spellings or common variations.
5. Enter your target keywords or topics. These are the subjects where you want to know if AI assistants mention your brand.
6. Select the AI platforms you want to monitor. ChatGPT and Perplexity are selected by default. You can also add Gemini and Google AI Overviews.
7. Click "Save" or "Start Tracking." EdenRank will begin its first scan immediately.

How does EdenRank track mentions and citations?

EdenRank runs automated scans of AI answer engines on a regular schedule. For each scan, it sends queries related to your keywords to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other selected platforms. The platform then analyzes each response to determine if your brand appears and whether it is cited with a source. Results appear in your dashboard as a timeline showing mention frequency, citation rate, and which platforms are driving visibility.

How do I interpret the results and adjust tracking?

Your dashboard shows a score for each brand and keyword combination. A higher score means better visibility. Review the "Mentions" tab to see every instance where an AI assistant named your brand. Review the "Citations" tab to see when the AI provided a source link. If you see gaps or unexpected results, add more keywords or adjust your brand name variations. You can also set up email alerts to notify you when your brand appears in a new AI response.

Common mistakes

• Tracking only your exact brand name. AI assistants often use variations. Add common misspellings, acronyms, and industry shorthand.
• Using too few keywords. Start with at least 5 keywords to get meaningful data. You can add more later.
• Ignoring citation data. Being mentioned is good, but being cited with a source link is more valuable for driving traffic.
• Not checking the free plan first. The free tier gives you full access to see if the tool fits your needs before upgrading.
