What teams walk away with
Illustrative outcomes — what Heft is built to produce: an answer that names you, a page AI cites, a report you can send, and ground taken from a competitor. Not verified customer results.
The answer, rewritten
The same buyer question that used to name three competitors and skip you. After you ship the work Heft prioritizes, the goal is to become the first recommendation instead of an absence.

The basics before you start.
Heft is designed to give you useful information quickly, then grow into an ongoing visibility workflow.
For each buyer question, Heft records four plain signals: Mention (did AI name you), Cite (did it point to your page), Recommend (did it tell the buyer to choose you), and Role (are you the main choice, an alternative, or missing).
Enter your website to begin the free reveal. Heft is designed to return an initial view in about 60 seconds.
Entry tracks ChatGPT. Pro adds Perplexity. Broader engines such as Claude or Gemini are available on Enterprise setups when agreed — they are not included on Entry or Pro by default.
You save the rivals you want to track. When a check finds other brands AI recommends, Heft surfaces them as suggestions until you choose to track them.
No. Heft focuses on buyer questions asked in AI assistants and whether those answers mention, cite, or recommend your brand.
Yes. Agencies can use the same visibility, competitor, action, and reporting workflow for client brands. Multi-brand depth is strongest on Enterprise.
