Enterprise-Grade AI Visibility Tracking Without the Price Tag: Open-Source for Small Businesses

Why AI Visibility Matters for SMEs

In a world where ChatGPT, Bard and other AI assistants shape user searches, what you don’t see can hurt you.
Your brand might be popping up in AI responses—but do you know where and how? Enter the need for an open-source dashboard that brings enterprise-grade monitoring without draining your budget.

Think of it like having CCTV for your online reputation in AI searches. You’d want it, right?
Here’s the catch. Most tools—take Scrunch, for example—are built for Fortune 500s. They boast millions of prompts analysed weekly, SOC 2 Type II compliance, role-based access and fancy APIs. Impressive. But:

• They start at enterprise prices.
• Setup can take weeks.
• They lock you into proprietary systems.

For small businesses, that’s a non-starter.

The Pain Points

• You can’t see AI-driven mentions of your brand.
• You’re flying blind on how AI describes your products.
• Competitor insights? Limited.
• Costs? Through the roof.

We’ve all been there. You need real data, not lip service.

Comparing Scrunch vs. Our Open-Source Dashboard

Sure, Scrunch has scale. You get:

• 6 million citations analysed weekly.
• Global deployment, multi-language support.
• Enterprise-grade security (SOC 2 Type II).

But there’s a twist. It’s a black box. You pay a premium. And if you’re a solo founder or team of five, you end up using 10% of features and paying 100% of the cost.

How Our Open-Source Dashboard Outshines

1. Cost Transparency
   No hidden fees. No tiered enterprise prisons. You host it. You pay only for your infrastructure.

2. Customisable & Extensible
   Need a plugin for Claude or Bing Chat? Go ahead. It’s all in the code. Community contributions welcome.

3. Fast Deployment
   Spin it up in minutes, not weeks. Docker support. Clear docs. Zero license negotiations.

4. Community-Driven Security
   Patches, audits, improvements—all open. No waiting on a single vendor’s roadmap.

5. Dedicated to SMEs
   Lightweight dashboards. Focus on core metrics: brand mentions, sentiment slices, competitor clustering, prompt-level analysis.

All that with the same enterprise-grade insights. Only without the sticker shock.

Core Features of Our Open-Source Dashboard

We built this with small businesses in mind. Here’s what you get:

• AI Visibility Tracking

• Role-Based Access Control

Real-Life Example

Imagine you run a gourmet tea shop in Berlin. You launch a limited-edition Assam blend. Two days later, your dashboard alerts you:

“Your brand featured in 40 out of 1,200 ChatGPT replies, with an 85% positive sentiment.”

You tweak your product page, run a quick Maggie’s AutoBlog campaign for a targeted SEO boost, and voilà—a 20% uptick in AI-driven webshop visits.
