Automatic AI visibility setup from one domain
Proofsource sets up AI visibility tracking from your domain. It crawls your site once to build a brand knowledge base, detects your brand name, category, kind of business and locations, generates brand-specific topics and buyer questions in your language, proposes competitors, and starts your first scan. If your site cannot be read, it asks you for a one-line description instead. Built for teams who want results today, not a setup project.

Automatic AI visibility setup, explained
Setting up AI visibility tracking used to mean writing a list of questions by hand, guessing competitors and choosing topics. Most teams track the wrong questions as a result: branded questions they already win, or generic ones no buyer asks.
Proofsource does the first draft for you. From your domain it reads your site once, works out your brand, category, kind of business, locations and language, and generates topics and buyer questions specific to you. It checks each question for your brand name so branded and unbranded stay apart, proposes competitors, and lets you review what to track before the first scan.
How it works
Enter a domain and Proofsource reads your brand, category, topics, buyer questions and competitors, then starts your first scan.

Questions about automatic AI visibility setup
What do I need to set up Proofsource?
A domain. You can also start from a store, app, map or video link.
What does setup detect?
Your brand name, category, kind of business, locations and language, from one crawl of your site.
Can I edit the questions before tracking starts?
Yes. You confirm topics, questions and competitors in the What to track step.
What if my site cannot be read?
Setup says so and asks for a one-line description to build your questions from.
Are branded questions tracked?
They are marked branded when created and kept apart, so they do not inflate your visibility.
Which engines does the first scan use?
Every engine your plan covers, up to 10: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI. The free trial runs four.
How is this different from Writesonic's topic suggestions?
Writesonic suggests topics and generates prompts well. Proofsource also detects locations and kind of business, starts from non-website links and refuses to guess when it cannot read a brand.
