Quickstart Guide
Setup runs in your browser: nothing to install and no code to add to your site. Tracking runs on a paid plan, so you pick a plan and pay by card at the end of setup. The live AI engine check on the competitors step is free.
Step 1: Sign In With Your Business Email or Google
Go to a2zreach.ai/onboarding and enter your business email. We send a one-time code to confirm it, and you create your account. You can sign in with Google instead.
Step 2: Enter Your Website and Country
Enter your website URL and the country your buyers are in. Prompts run as a buyer in that country would ask them. We read your website and draft a business profile from it.
Step 3: Review Your Profile
Check the drafted profile (your brand, what you offer, and who you serve) and correct anything that is wrong. The later steps are built from it.
Step 4: Add Locations (Optional)
If you serve specific places, add them. You can skip this step.
Step 5: Confirm Your Competitors
A live check against AI engines suggests the rivals they name in your market. Keep the ones that matter, remove the rest, and add any that are missing. This check is free.
Step 6: Review Topics and Prompts
We suggest topics (groups of related buyer questions) and the prompts under each one: the questions we will ask AI engines on your behalf. Add, remove, or edit them before you continue. See Topics & Prompts for how they are organised.
Step 7: Pick a Plan and Pay
Choose a plan and pay by card through Stripe checkout. Plans differ in prompt, competitor, and feature limits (see Plans & Limits). Engines: choose 3 models on Starter, Growth, and Agency; custom scope on Enterprise. There is no language or frequency screen to fill in.
Step 8: Your First Run Starts
Once payment goes through, your first run starts on its own, and your first report is ready within 20minutes. That first run reads answers through the ChatGPT and Perplexity APIs; Google AI Overview results arrive with the first scheduled run. Later runs happen daily (your plan's schedule) and cover your plan's engines (see How We Collect Data).
As results come in, your dashboard shows:
- Visibility Score: Percentage of prompts where your brand appeared
- Exclusions: Prompts where you were left out while others were named
- Competitors: Who appears most in your place
- Cited Domains: Which sites AI engines referenced

A2Z Reach keeps running your prompts on your plan's schedule. Over time you see trends: is visibility improving, are new competitors appearing, which sources are gaining influence. The Actions page turns those findings into a ranked list of what to do next.
