What 3RD does
Most tools stop at a visibility score — a chart that trends up or down, and no clear next move. 3RD goes three steps:Track
Monitor how you show up across AI engines, every day — visibility, sentiment, position, and the sources behind every answer.
Diagnose
Understand why the model chooses one brand over another — your content, your citations, the sources models actually trust.
Act
Get a specific plan: which pages to fix, which sources to reach out to, what to write, and how to structure it.
Five metrics tell the whole story
Instead of traditional search rankings, 3RD measures what actually matters in AI answers:- Are you mentioned? — Visibility: the share of AI answers that name your brand.
- Are you cited? — Citation Share: how often AI answers cite your own pages as sources.
- How are you described? — Sentiment: whether AI portrays you positively, neutrally, or negatively.
- Where do you appear? — Position: where your mentions land within an answer compared to your competitors. Being number 1 often means you’re the AI model’s preferred choice.
- How do you compare? — Rank: your standing against tracked competitors, as “X of Y.”
How it works
You define the questions
3RD suggests prompts based on your topics — designed to reflect how real people actually use AI assistants, grounded in research covering hundreds of millions of users. Accept the good ones, add your own — “what’s the best CRM for small teams?”, “is Acme reliable?” — organized into topics and tiered by commercial value.
3RD runs them every day
Each prompt is sent across your selected AI models on a schedule. 3RD reads every answer — detecting where you’re mentioned, how you’re described, where you rank, and which sources the model cited.
You get a plan, not just a dashboard
Results roll up into your Overview and Leaderboard — but 3RD doesn’t stop at the score. Diagnostics explains why you’re not being chosen, and Playbooks turn that into concrete, prioritized deliverables: content briefs for the pages you’re missing (with the exact queries to target), technical fixes for what’s blocking AI from reading your site, and the specific third-party sources worth reaching out to — all tracked on a kanban board next to the visibility trend that proves whether it worked.
Your first week with 3RD
- Day 1 — Set up your brand, markets, competitors, topics, and first prompts. The Quickstart walks you through it; answers start streaming in immediately.
- The first 24–48 hours — Focus on patterns, not individual answers. AI models are probabilistic — the same prompt can get different answers on different days — so more answers means clearer patterns. As runs accumulate, your visibility, sentiment, position, and citation picture firms up.
- By end of week — You’ve run Diagnostics on your biggest gaps, created your first Playbook, and completed a few tasks that improve your visibility and preferability.
