# Welcome to MentionScout

> Track how your brand is mentioned and cited across AI answer engines.

MentionScout shows you how AI answer engines talk about your brand. It runs the prompts your customers ask, captures the answers, and tracks where you are mentioned, where you are cited, and how you stack up against competitors over time. It also watches the wider web that feeds those answers, and shows you whether AI is crawling, citing, and sending traffic to your site.
