Getting started

Your first analysis

Walk through what happens from entering your website to seeing your first real visibility numbers.

You want to know one thing when you first show up: does my brand actually appear in AI answers? Here's what happens between entering your website and seeing real numbers.

Step 1: get your free report

Go to aipeekaboo.com and drop in your website URL. You'll answer a couple of quick questions (brand or agency, a short description of what you do), then choose Quick Start (about a minute) or Customize (3-5 minutes, lets you fine-tune prompts and competitors before your first run). While the system works in the background to find likely prompts and competitors for your brand, you'll see a live preview building out, showing real counts as they're found, for example "10 prompts, 4 competitors found, 6 suggested."

Step 2: create your account

To unlock your free report, you create an account (email/password or single sign-on). No credit card is required at this stage.

Step 3: your first scan starts

As soon as you sign up, your dashboard opens right away, it doesn't wait for setup to finish behind the scenes. Your first live analysis kicks off immediately using two models: ChatGPT and Google AI Overview. Starting with two keeps that first wait short and honest instead of making you stare at a loading screen while all five models run.

You land on the Overview the moment you sign up, and your first real numbers from ChatGPT and Google AI Overview fill this score card within a couple of minutes.

Step 4: unlock more models by exploring

As you explore the product, more models unlock as you go:

  • Watch the short walkthrough video and Perplexity gets added to your scan.
  • Open a real conversation in Recent Chats and Gemini gets added.

You'll see this reflected honestly in the dashboard as "N of 5 models unlocked" rather than claiming full coverage before it's actually measured.

Step 5: take the guided tour

Once you have real data on the board, an in-product guide walks you through the dashboard in order: Visibility, Competitors, Source Types and Top Domains, Recent Chats, the Brand Selector, the Prompt library, and finally Add Prompts, where you'll see the difference between AI-suggested prompts and manually written ones. From there, you'll be walked into choosing a plan and starting a trial if you want to keep tracking.

When does full data land?

Your very first numbers appear within a couple of minutes, since the first scan only checks two models. As you unlock the rest, and as your account is picked up by the regular scheduled analysis, all five models will be checked and your dashboard will reflect the fuller picture. A brand with a large number of tracked prompts can take anywhere from a few minutes to about an hour to fully finish a scheduled analysis cycle, since results come in as each model finishes rather than all at once.
