AT A GLANCE
The short version.
IndexHalo asks your buyers' questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Claude and Perplexity, keeps every full answer and citation, and turns them into findings, actions and reports.
The interface, reports and emails are in English. You can track questions in 13 countries and 17 question languages; each saved question keeps its own market and language, and every answer is kept word for word in its original language. Tone, recommendation, reputation and positioning rules read English, German, French, Spanish and Dutch answers. Spanish wording has been checked on test passages only, not yet on real answers. Answers in other languages show 'not classified (language)', never a zero. Buyer routing, Why-this-answer criteria, concern sources and fact disagreements read English answers only for now.
Results are counts with their denominators, for example “Named in 31 of 50 answers”. Being named is kept apart from being recommended, unknown is never shown as zero, and change is shown only between matched repeat checks.
CAPABILITIES 01 OF 9
Collect
How questions are asked, where and when.
Countries, regions and language from your input
Each saved question keeps its own market (one of 13 countries, or one of 100 regions and cities for the Google sources) and its own language (one of 17): you choose them, or the language follows the question you type and the market your website's own signals, and setup says why. Copy to markets adds a question to other countries without translating it.

LIMITS
What IndexHalo does not do
Stated plainly, so nobody has to guess.
- No composite 0-100 visibility score: results are counts with their denominators.
- No trend from one snapshot: change needs the same questions checked again under the same scope.
- No guarantee of citations, traffic or revenue.
- No translated interface: the product, reports and emails are in English.
- No marketplace apps for Zapier, Make or n8n: connect them with webhooks and the API.
- The WordPress plugin and the browser extension are not public downloads.
- No Google Shopping or ChatGPT Ads collection.
- No private prompt-volume data: suggestions are not measured search demand.
How every number is measured
- Unknown is never zero: an answer that could not be classified is shown as unknown, not as a no.
- Naming is not recommending: being named and being recommended are counted separately.
- Change is shown only between matched repeat checks: the same questions, sources, market and model.
- Every paid run is quoted before it starts, and retained answers, URLs and timestamps are never rewritten.

Questions people ask about IndexHalo
What does IndexHalo do?
IndexHalo asks your buyers' questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Claude and Perplexity, keeps every full answer and citation, and turns them into findings, actions and reports.
Which AI sources does IndexHalo check?
Every search asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Claude and Perplexity by default, for one credit per question. Google organic results can be collected as their own search, for one credit per question, and are kept apart from AI answers. Claude and Perplexity answers come from their APIs with web search, which can differ from a signed-in conversation.
Does IndexHalo have an API?
Yes. REST API v1 with scoped, revocable API keys and an OpenAPI 3.1 description at /api/v1/openapi.json. Create keys in Settings › Integrations. Keys can read data and create draft actions; no key can publish to a website.
Does IndexHalo have an MCP server?
Yes. A private MCP endpoint at https://www.indexhalo.com/mcp lets your own AI assistant read your IndexHalo data with a scoped API key. Its 6 tools are list_brands, get_results, list_questions, search_answers, get_actions and get_reports. It does not register your brand with any AI service.
Can I use IndexHalo with Looker Studio?
Yes. Pull IndexHalo's CSV feeds into a Google Sheet with IMPORTDATA, then add that Sheet as a Looker Studio data source. A Looker Studio Community Connector is available on request as Apps Script source that you deploy once. Excel and Power BI read the same feeds with Get data › From Web.
Does IndexHalo offer white-label reports and a client portal?
Yes, on every plan. Reports export with your own name, logo and accent colour, and you can share a read-only client portal link that expires after 30 days by default, or up to a year.
Do searches run automatically?
Schedule a saved question set daily, weekly or monthly. When you set the schedule, you approve a credit limit per run and per month; each scheduled run uses one credit per question and market. Report emails and a weekly digest can be scheduled too.
Which languages and countries does IndexHalo support?
The interface, reports and emails are in English. You can track questions in 13 countries and 17 question languages; each saved question keeps its own market and language, and every answer is kept word for word in its original language. Tone, recommendation, reputation and positioning rules read English, German, French, Spanish and Dutch answers. Spanish wording has been checked on test passages only, not yet on real answers. Answers in other languages show 'not classified (language)', never a zero. Buyer routing, Why-this-answer criteria, concern sources and fact disagreements read English answers only for now.
Does IndexHalo connect to Google Search Console and GA4?
Upload a GA4 export to see AI referral visits by landing page. Search Console and Bing Webmaster exports can be imported too. Live GA4 and Search Console sync is built and available once connected.
Does IndexHalo give a single AI visibility score?
No. IndexHalo reports counts with their denominators, for example 'Named in 31 of 50 answers', and keeps being named apart from being recommended. Change is shown only when the same questions were checked again under the same scope.
What does IndexHalo cost, and do credits expire?
Monthly plans: Professional $49 for 100 credits, Business $129 for 300 credits and Agency $299 for 750 credits a month, plus tax. Every plan has every feature. Subscribers can add top-up packs at the same prices. Plan and top-up credits expire at the end of the billing month and do not roll over. Credits bought as one-time packs before monthly plans launched keep their balance and are shown separately.
