Where Autessa wins

Why teams choose Autessa Visibility over Ahrefs Brand Radar

Told, not left to look

Early-awareness alerts and an unread badge bring negative mentions, engine drops and competitor surges to you the same week.

Your buyers’ questions first

AI suggests prompts from your brand profile, you organize them into topics, and each runs on the engines and schedule you pick.

Ready for the Monday meeting

The executive briefing lists what changed, risks, opportunities and recommended actions, and you can copy it as Markdown or download it.

Add what your team needs

Ask Autobot for a new source type, a client report or a custom alert and it changes your copy of the app, code and all.

Agents that do more than look up

Ahrefs’ MCP brings its data into your AI tools. The Autessa MCP does that for your scores and answers, and lets an agent add prompts, run browser workflows and draft the fix in Content Studio.
