Get Started in 5 Minutes

This guide will help you set up Surva.ai and start tracking your AI visibility right away.

Step 1: Complete Your Brand Profile

After signing up, you'll be prompted to set up your brand:

1. Enter your company name exactly as you want it tracked
2. Add your website domain (e.g., example.com)
3. Select your country for localized search results
4. Click Save to create your brand

Your brand name and domain are used to identify mentions across AI platforms, so make sure they're accurate.

Step 2: Add Your First Keywords

Keywords (also called topics) are the search queries you want to monitor. To add keywords:

1. Go to Topics in the sidebar
2. Click Add Topic
3. Enter a keyword phrase (e.g., "best CRM software")
4. Click Add

Start with 5-10 high-priority keywords that are most relevant to your business. You can always add more later.

Step 3: Add Competitors

Tracking competitors helps you understand your relative position. To add competitors:

1. Go to Competitors in the sidebar
2. Click Add Competitor
3. Enter the competitor's domain (e.g., competitor.com)
4. Click Add

Surva.ai will automatically fetch the competitor's name, logo, and start tracking them across your keywords.

Step 4: Wait for Data

After adding keywords and competitors, Surva.ai begins collecting data. Initial data typically appears within:

• AI Visibility - Within 24 hours
