AI Search Visibility is Adam Tanguay's official Marketplace template for checking whether AI assistants and Google recommend you, and who they name instead, starting from questions your buyers actually ask. This review covers its stated workflow, setup steps, and boundaries.
Last checked: November 6, 2026 How we review: based on the official listing and its published instructions; we don't install bots or connect accounts.
Open the official AI Search Visibility listing.
What it does
The listing describes a fixed list of buyer prompts run against AI answer surfaces and search results the bot can reach, plus answers you paste from assistants you are signed into. Each company lands on exactly one rung per prompt: recommended, cited, mentioned, or absent, in that order of strength. Movement becomes a weekly brief with one named action.
Prompt kinds are category, problem, comparison, or brand. Five prompts are marked as top prompts and only those feed the spot check. Every claim is supposed to carry a quoted sentence and a source link, and the instructions say it never invents one.
Working state lives in files: the prompt list, a dated capture of every answer and source link, the spot check log, dated briefs and audits, a share-of-answer scoreboard, and fix drafts. The prompt list is the source of truth for what gets tested, and comparisons run against the newest capture.
Skills cover getting started, building the prompt list, running a visibility check, capturing a pasted answer, the weekly brief, a citation source audit, a share-of-answer comparison, and drafting a fix for a page, listing, or answer you pick. The page says it does not diff competitor pricing or product pages, does not run ads, and does not publish anything.
Who it is for
It is a reasonable fit for marketers and founders who want a repeated read of whether assistants and search results name them for buyer questions, and who can paste answers from tools they are signed into.
It is not a fit if you need public-mention monitoring, a 30-day social brief, or a competitor product teardown. It is also not a publishing or ads bot.
Integrations and inputs
Setup preferences include what you sell, your site, who you sell to, buyer region and language, rivals, assistants you are signed into, timezone, brief day and hour, brief destination, and spot-check days. Those start unset.
Named integrations:
- Slack: post the weekly brief in a channel your team already reads.
- Notion: keep the prompt list, briefs, and fix list.
- Linear: turn the fix list into tracked issues.
- Hex: chart the share-of-answer scoreboard over time if your team already uses Hex.
- Profound: read AI answer visibility and citations across engines to widen the capture.
- Google Sheets: read and write sheets.
The listing does not publish permission scopes or a setup duration. Connect the narrowest destination you need after you have reviewed one manual check.
Routines
Two routines are listed:
- Weekly visibility brief: every week, runs the whole prompt list, then reports which answers moved, who is winning, and the one thing to do about it.
- Top prompt spot check: twice a week, re-runs the top five prompts and speaks up only when you drop out of an answer or a new name shows up.
Both stay off until you say yes and run in your timezone. Ask your copy for the trigger, prompt list, and destination before enabling either one.
Safety check
Safety: AI Search Visibility stores prompt lists, captured answers, and scoreboards, and it can post briefs or create issues if Slack, Notion, Linear, Hex, Profound, or Google Sheets are connected; it says it drafts by default and never posts, sends, runs ads, or publishes without your yes, so check those destinations, file contents, and both disabled routines in the Add preview.
The main extra risk is destination access and the data in captured answers. A pasted assistant reply can include customer or internal details. Share only answers you are comfortable storing.
The quoted-sentence and source-link rules are useful instructions, but they do not independently verify that every ranking is complete across every assistant. These are the template's stated boundaries, not proof of platform-enforced restrictions.
Step-by-step installation
- Open the official listing and confirm the creator is Adam Tanguay.
- Choose the install action. The template page shows Import Bot; Marketplace cards show Add, and the official guide uses Add to Grok Bot.
- Review the context and integrations in the app preview. Confirm any Slack, Notion, Linear, Hex, Profound, or Sheets access matches where you want briefs and fixes to go.
- Choose Add Bot only after that review. The official guide describes a separate bot copy, not a clone of the creator's environment.
- Reinstall any plugins your copy needs, then answer the getting-started questions about what you sell and who you sell to so it can build a first prompt list.
- Run one visibility check first, including any pasted answers from assistants you are signed into. Leave both routines off until you have read that result.
The listing does not give an installation-time estimate. An instruction to show a first result quickly describes response behavior, not account setup.
Three example tasks
- First check: "Learn what I sell and who I sell to, build a prompt list, and run a visibility check. Score each company as recommended, cited, mentioned, or absent, and attach a quote and source link."
- Paste an answer: "Here is what an assistant I am signed into said for this prompt. Capture it and score it like any other result."
- Citation audit: "Show which sites and pages the answers are pulling from, and draft one fix for the gap I pick. Do not publish it."
Limitations and when not to use it
Do not use it to publish pages, run ads, or diff competitor pricing and product pages. Do not treat a draft fix as a live change. Coverage depends on the surfaces the bot can reach plus the answers you paste; the listing does not claim a complete inventory of every assistant.
If you never complete getting started, the prompt list and scoreboard stay empty.
Alternative templates
- SEO & AEO Desk fits when you need search opportunities and writer-ready briefs rather than an answer-visibility scoreboard.
- Overheard fits when you want third-party mentions of your name or brand.
- last30days fits when you want what people said about a topic in the last 30 days.
FAQ
Does AI Search Visibility publish pages or run ads for me?
No. The listing says it drafts by default, never posts or sends without your yes, does not run ads, and does not publish anything.
Do the weekly brief and spot check start immediately?
No. Both stay off until you turn them on and run in your timezone.
What if an assistant needs a login I have and the bot does not?
The listing treats a pasted answer as a normal capture. You paste what that assistant said, and it is scored like any other result.
