Common questions
Do I need a credit card to get started?
No. Free accounts include unlimited website audits, API access, CLI, and MCP server. You only need a credit card if you upgrade to a paid monitoring plan.
How accurate is the AI visibility check?
For paid plans, Foglift queries real AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.) with live requests. Free scans use content signal analysis to estimate visibility. Both approaches are designed to give you actionable insights.
Can I scan competitor websites?
Yes. You can scan any public URL — your own site, competitors, or any website. Paid plans include dedicated competitor tracking with automated alerts.
What makes Foglift different from SEO tools?
Traditional SEO tools only analyze search engine rankings. Foglift adds GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — tracking how AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity talk about your brand. Plus, we offer API, CLI, and MCP on every tier.
