A website is the brand MentionScout tracks across AI answer engines and the wider web. Everything else in the app, from prompts and runs to mentions, citations, and crawler analytics, hangs off the website you have active.
The Websites list with name, domain, prompt count, competitor count, and status columns

The websites list

Open the website switcher at the top of the sidebar and choose Manage websites to see every website in your current workspace. The table lists:
ColumnWhat it shows
WebsiteThe website name and its domain, with a favicon. Click the name to open that website and switch to it.
PromptsHow many prompts you track for the website.
CompetitorsHow many competitors you have added.
StatusThe brand analysis status.
The Status column shows a Ready badge once analysis is complete, Failed if it could not finish, and a progress label (such as Pending) while it runs. Use the Filter by name box above the table to narrow a long list, and the view options menu to show or hide columns.
Each row has a menu with quick actions: Switch to website, Open Brand Hub, Edit, and Delete.

Add a website

You can add a website in two ways. The quick add gets you tracking in seconds; the detailed form lets you fill in brand details up front.

Switch the active website

The website switcher sits at the top of the sidebar and shows your current website. Click it to open a Websites menu listing every website in the workspace, with a check next to the active one.
  • Select any website to switch to it. The app reloads in that website’s context, so prompts, mentions, citations, and analytics all reflect the new selection.
  • Click Add website to open the quick add dialog.
  • Click Manage websites to jump to the full list.
You can also switch from the list itself: click a website name, or choose Switch to website from its menu.

Edit a website

From a website’s menu choose Edit, or open the Brand Hub for deeper brand settings. The edit form lets you change the Name, Domain, Brand name, Brand aliases, and Description. Click Save changes to apply them; MentionScout makes that website active and takes you to its dashboard so you can see the change.

Delete a website

To remove a website, choose Delete from its menu (or Delete website on the edit form) and confirm.
Deleting a website permanently removes it and all of its data: competitors, prompts, runs, mentions, citations, social monitors, personas, site pages, and crawler analytics. This cannot be undone.
If you delete the website you currently have active, MentionScout switches you to another website in the workspace (preferring one that is already Ready). If none remain, add a new website to keep tracking your AI visibility.

Workspaces

A workspace is the container that holds your websites. Every website you add belongs to your current workspace, and the websites list and switcher only show websites from that workspace. When you select a website, MentionScout also moves you into that website’s workspace, so the brand you are viewing and the workspace around it always stay in sync.

Brand Hub

Refine the brand profile, aliases, and analysis behind a website.

Competitors

Manage the rival brands MentionScout compares you against.

Prompts

Set up the questions MentionScout runs against AI answer engines.
