Your Analytics Dashboard

The SearchRank AI dashboard is your central hub for monitoring AI search visibility. It provides real-time insights, trend analysis, and actionable metrics to help you understand and improve your brand's presence in AI-powered search.

Dashboard Layout

The dashboard is organized into several key sections:
