Run it on your own brand

Ask the engines about you, the way a customer would

Your brand

“Who are [your brand name] and what do they do?” — the question we send, in English and in Arabic, so you can compare the two answers.

Ask it in

Google AI Mode

Nothing is stored. The links open each engine with the question already typed — you read the answer there, not here.

Then what

An answer you can read is evidence you can act on

Most brands have never seen what an engine says about them, and the first read is usually the whole diagnosis.

01 If it names a competitor instead of you — that is a resolution problem, not a content problem.
02 If the Arabic answer differs from the English one — the two were built from different sources. We measured how far apart they usually are.
03 If it refuses to answer at all — an engine will not put a name in an answer it cannot stand behind.

Questions we get asked

Who writes here?

Whoever ran the work. Every article is written by the strategist on the account it came out of, not by a content team reading the same news you are — which is also why each writer states what they will not write about.

How often do you publish?

Weekly, and less when there is nothing worth saying. We would rather skip a week than publish a roundup of other people's posts.

Are the studies original research?

Some are original measurement and some are synthesis of published work — each study says which on its own page, with the sample, the method and the date it was last verified.

Do you cover Arabic search separately?

Yes. The engines answer the same question differently in Arabic and English, so we test the two separately and report them separately rather than translating one set of findings.

Is anything here sponsored?

No. No paid placements, no affiliate links, and no vendor review written from a briefing document. If that ever changes it will be labelled on the article.

Can I republish or quote from an article?

Quote freely with a link. For a full republication, ask first — mostly so we can tell you if a figure in it has been superseded since publication.
