Make a change, then see what moved
Log what you changed and when. Ansoar keeps asking the same questions, then puts the weeks before and after side by side, measured the same way both times.
What happened after this change
Four weeks afterBattery rebate page published, logged 11 Jul 2026
Home battery installation, period averages
Brightline went from 20% to 30% of answers. Coastwatt went from 45% to 48% over the same weeks.
The same 9 searches, measured the same way before and after. The shaded days after the change are left out while answers settle.
What before and after reassessment does
Before, a short settling period, then after
A logged change splits the timeline into a before period, a short settling period that’s left out while answers catch up, and an after period. Ansoar compares the before and after periods on the same tracked searches and platforms, so the comparison is like for like.
Recommended, mentioned and the leading competitor
You see how your recommended and mentioned rates moved, how the leading competitor moved over the same period, and how many measurements sit behind the after period. Watching the competitor matters: if everyone moved, your change may not be the reason.
Something solid to show a client
Telling a client their number went up is one thing. Showing them what ChatGPT said before your work and what it said after is far more convincing. More on how agencies use Ansoar.
What it can’t tell you
- AI answers shift for all sorts of reasons, including updates nobody outside the AI companies can see. That’s why Ansoar shows what your competitors did over the same weeks, and never says your change caused the result.
- No comparison is shown until there is enough post-change evidence to support it.
Common questions
How long until I see a before and after comparison?
It depends on how often the related searches are measured and how much evidence accumulates after the settling window. Ansoar shows the comparison once there is enough to support it, not before.
Can Ansoar prove my change improved AI visibility?
No, and be sceptical of any tool that says it can. Ansoar shows what was observed before and after, measured the same way, alongside what competitors did over the same period.
What counts as a change?
Anything you did that relates to a customer decision: a new or improved page, a technical fix, a listing correction, new reviews or a new third-party mention. You can log actions from Ansoar or your own work.
Can I see what competitors did over the same period?
Yes. Every comparison shows how the leading competitor moved over the same weeks. If everyone moved, your change may not be the reason.
Should I switch platforms while a change is being measured?
It’s best not to. Before and after only compare like with like when the same searches run on the same platforms, so keep your three platforms steady until the comparison is ready.
