Use case
Run a monthly review of your AI visibility.
A monthly review is one sitting where you read what AI answers said about your business and decide what to look at next. AI visibility is how your business appears in the AI answers you check.
Example visibility, the share of counted answers naming each business.

01 / Use case
Pick a fixed day
A monthly review works best on the same day each month, a few days after the month closes. Keep your settings the same from one review to the next, with one prompt set, one way of collecting answers and the same filters.
Two months read under different settings cannot be compared fairly.
02 / Use case
Start with the headline figures
Open the AI visibility dashboard and choose the last 30 days. The first three figures count questions that returned an answer, answers that named you and answers that linked to your own website.
The fourth is share of voice, your share of the mentions across the businesses you chose to compare. Each card shows the change against the previous 30 days, or gives the reason when no fair comparison exists.
03 / Use case
Prompts and sources
Open the prompt library. A prompt with no answers yet reads not measured yet, which is a gap to look into, not a poor result. Read the prompts where an answer named another business and left you out, each linking to up to three of those answers.
Then open the sources view for the last 30 days. A source link does not say why an assistant chose it, so read the answers before you decide anything.
04 / Use case
Close with a monthly report
Open Reports, choose Monthly and step back to the month you reviewed. Every group carries one of five states, such as Measured or Partial.
05 / Use case
Plan next month
A review ends with a short list, not a score. Next month, open the same views with the same settings and check each item against the new figures.
The dashboard records what answers said, not why a figure moved. AI companies decide what their answers say.
How it works
- Choose the month In Reports, step back to the last complete month, with the same prompt set and collection method as last time.
- Read the headline figures On the AI visibility dashboard, pick the last 30 days and read the cards.
- Review your prompts In Prompts, read the result beside each prompt and open the answers where another business was named.
- Read the sources In Sources and citations, see which websites and pages answers linked to.
- Keep the report In Reports, print the monthly report or download it as a CSV file.
Who it is for
Service businesses
Run the review in one sitting and keep each monthly report as a record.
Practices
Review each prompt set in turn. Keeping the same settings each month keeps one review comparable with the next.
Shops
Follow product and category prompts with and without your name.

Carqo shows where AI search mentions you
It follows your customer prompts and shows what the answers said about your business.
You decide what to do with each draft
A person on your side reviews each draft and decides whether to use it.
Common questions
How often should I review AI visibility?
A month gives answers time to build up and leaves time to act on what you find. Keep the same day and settings each time.
What does a blank figure mean?
It means there was nothing to measure, such as no questions asked. The card names the reason. A blank is never shown as zero.
Does the review cover all of AI search?
No. It covers the answers collected for your prompts in the period and collection method you chose. Those answers are a sample of AI search, and each figure shows the sample behind it.
Will a monthly review get my business named more often?
No one can promise that. AI companies decide what their answers say. A regular review shows what was said each month, so you can decide where to spend your time.
